The evening tour of Rome was a great way to get an overview of Rome and it's highlight areas. By night it was magical. Matteo was an excellent and knowledgeable guide, and he tailored the tour based on our requests.
Dear Marlene, Thank you for your lovely review. There is something truly magical about Rome after dark. As the crowds begin to fade and the monuments are illuminated, the city takes on an atmosphere that is difficult to put into words, so we're delighted you were able to experience it. We're especially pleased that Matteo tailored the evening to your interests. Every guest experiences Rome a little differently, and creating a tour around those personal requests is one of the things that makes a private experience so rewarding. Thank you for allowing us to be part of your visit to Rome. We'll be sure to share your kind words with Matteo, and we're so happy your evening with us became such a memorable part of your trip.
I can’t say enough good things about Turtle Tours, and especially about Flavio and Pauline. This wasn’t just a tour—it was a core memory for my family and me. Flavio, a native of Italy, is a gifted storyteller who speaks multiple languages, bringing not only his knowledge but his rich life experience into the tour. From hidden gems in Rome to off-the-beaten-path treasures, he made every moment sparkle. What blew me away even more was that, the next evening, after the tour, we ran into him at a small restaurant by our hotel. He took the time to join us for dinner, and we shared stories like old friends. As a hospitality executive from New York City, I can say this is more than just a tour—it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience. If you’re looking for something beyond the ordinary, a true connection, and a memory you’ll treasure forever, I wholeheartedly give Turtle Tours Flavio and Pauline 5 stars. Don’t miss out, you won’t be disappointed!!
Thank you so much, Daniel, for taking the time to share such a moving and heartfelt review! Hearing that your time with Flavio and Pauline created a true core memory for your family means the absolute world to us. Coming from a hospitality executive in NYC, your praise for Flavio’s storytelling, warmth, and dedication is the ultimate compliment. That chance dinner reunion the following evening sounds like a truly magical moment—it completely captures the heart of what we aim to do: create authentic, lasting human connections that go far beyond a standard tour. We will make sure Flavio and Pauline see your glowing words—they will be so touched. It was a true pleasure hosting your family, and we would love nothing more than to welcome you all back to Rome again! 😊
The golf cart private tour (we had 4 people) was the way to go!! We skipped the lines on Colosseum entry, and our guide Marcelo was perfect! Great guy, good English, and extremely knowledgeable. No question he could not answer. We really enjoyed the tour, which included The Forum also.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a fantastic review! We are so glad to hear that taking the private golf cart tour was the perfect choice for your group of four! Skipping the lines and seeing the Colosseum and Forum in comfort really makes all the difference. Marcelo will be so happy to know how much you appreciated his knowledge and company—he truly loves sharing the history of Rome with our guests. Thank you again for choosing to explore with us, and we hope to welcome you all back on your next trip to Rome! 😊
We had the most wonderful tour with Shima. She was so knowledgeable and shared so many interesting facts about Romes history and local places to eat, drink and get gelato. She made our trip so special and made sure we saw everything we asked to see. Rome is so beautiful, but very crowded and the route she made for our tour made us feel like we were driving the back streets of olden times. We would recommend Turtle Tours to everyone and will definitely use them when we return to Rome.
Shima is going to be over the moon reading this! Navigating around the heavy crowds to give you that quiet, classic "back streets" feel is pure magic, so it’s awesome to hear she pulled that off so seamlessly for you. Between the custom route, the history lessons, and the local gelato spots, it sounds like an unforgettable way to experience Rome. Thank you so much for the high recommendation—we can't wait to have you back with Turtle Tours on your next Roman adventure! 🍦🛵
Gein Marco was an excellent guide we learned many different things. He adjusted out tour to some less known places since we had already seen the main attractions. Highly recommend this tour.
Gian Marco is a master at tweaking the route on the fly, so it's fantastic to hear he pivoted to Rome's hidden gems since you'd already hit the big sights! Off-the-beaten-path spots often end up being the absolute highlight of a trip. Thanks a ton for recommending us—it was a pleasure having you on tour! 🏛️✨
John Carlo was amazing! The tour was very informative I highly recommend!
Huge thanks for the shoutout! We'll definitely pass the aprises along to Giancarlo—he’ll be thrilled to know he made such a great impression. So glad you enjoyed the experience, and thanks for spreading the word! 🙌✨
“Biagio was an outstanding guide on our Secret Rome golf cart tour with Turtle Tours. He took us to incredible hidden gems we’d never seen on other tours, sharing fascinating insights with genuine passion. Knowledgeable, personable, and full of energy, he made the experience unforgettable. We can’t recommend him enough—5 out of 5!”
Hi Marco, Biagio is a rockstar when it comes to showing off the side of Rome most tourists completely miss! It’s awesome to hear how much energy and insight he brought to your tour—those hidden spots really do make for a whole different perspective on the city. Thanks a lot for the 5-star recommendation and for rolling with Turtle Tours! 🛺💨
We had an excellent tour with Biagio and Andy. We started and finished the tour with beautiful views of the city from different vistas and got to experience some of the local gems, including the rose garden. The tour of the colosseum was perfect for our children and Barbara kept them engaged and enchanted. We would definitely recommend this tour for families with little kids that want to see a lot of this wonderful city.
It sounds like Biagio, Andy, and Barbara put together the ultimate family day in Rome! Keeping kids engaged and entertained while taking in massive historic sites like the Colosseum is no small task, so it's fantastic to hear Barbara worked her magic. Pairing those deep-dive historical moments with quiet local gems—like the rose garden and those sweeping city vistas—makes for such a balanced experience. Thanks so much to Maura and the family for the high recommendation! 🌹🏛️
Lived this tour!!! Saw so much of the city in just 3 hours!! Emiliano was very knowledgeable about the city and took us to the best places!!
Emiliano is a absolute pro at packing maximum Rome into a three-hour window! It's awesome to hear he hit all the best spots while keeping the vibe fun and informative. Thanks a lot for leaving the great feedback—so glad you got to pack so much into your time here! ⚡🏛️
Enjoyable dash through the winding streets of Rome. Excellent and knowledgeable tour guide. We could moderate time at each stop to suit our needs. This is the best way to see all the main sights with a person who can tell the history of the Eternal City and answer any question.
Cruising through those winding Roman streets at your own speed really is the ultimate way to take in the city! It's awesome that your guide gave you the freedom to set your own pace at every stop while bringing all that incredible history to life. Having an expert on tap to answer every question on the spot makes a huge difference. Thanks so much for taking the time to share this—glad you had such a great experience! 🛵🏛️
