Awesome and well worth it. - This trip was awesome. It was summertime and temps were high 93 degrees and up. It was nice to have a driver to take us from place to place in an air conditioned vehicle it made the trip much easier. The driver and tour guide were great.

Great personalized tour in a limited time - We loved the personalized tour with Ricardo and Sabrina. Ricardo was very courteous, helpful and took care of us at every step. It was nice interacting with him. He accommodated our requests beyond our expectations. Sabrina is very knowledgeable knows how to bring the best for the guests in a limited time. She knew the perfect spots for pictures. The van was very comfortable. We recommend this tour if you have a limited time and want to make the best use of it in a relaxed and personalized experience.

Excellent Tour - Tour guide was very friendly and informative. Driver was friendly and stopped at several locations so we could see and experience all there was in Rome. We were driven in a spacious very clean mini van and we were made very comfortable. Both spoke excellent English. Would not have had such an excellent experience without these two people. They took good care of us and were always looking out for us but at the same time, they made us feel like family. Driver took us to a restaurant that was very authentic and served us wine and everything on the menu! I would recommend this tour to anyone who is visiting Rome including families.

Rome - Giovanni was a wonderful guide for our full day tour of the city. Could not have seen or learned as much without him. Our guide at the Vatican, Francisco, was equally if not more impressive with his knowledge and insights as he skillfully moved us through the crowds. Would definitely recommend this to everyone

Wonderful Day - The was an amazing day. Tour guide was on time, super kind, and a wealth of knowledge. Took us to a ton a different places and kept us on time for the skip the lines. It was literally a FULL DAY. Got to see every single area we were hoping to see. The only disappointment was we didn't have time to go inside St. Peter's. Plenty of time in the Colosseum and Vatican

A perfect day in Rome - Our day in Rome with Paulo as our driver/guide was absolutely perfect. Paulo treated us like we were a part of his family that he was showing off his town to - really a great feeling. We were able to see all the major sights including the Coliseum, Vatican, St. Trevi Fountain as well as some unique vista points, parks, and unique parts of town. Paulo showed us to a great local restaurant for lunch...awesome food and service. This tour allowed us to make the best use of the one day we had in Rome, I cannot think of a single thing that would have made it better. Highly recommend!
