Awesome pre cruise Rome tour - Our driver Michael picked us up at airport and took us on a tour of Rome. This was the best tour we have ever experienced. Michael included a few extra surprises since we had extra time. After our tour, we were dropped off at cruise port at our scheduled time. If we ever return to Italy, we will book another tour with company.

Cruise Private Tour - Amazing tour! Our guide was so knowledgeable and interesting. It was super long, but worth every penny, and covered all of the beautiful sites of Rome that we wanted to see. Would definitely recommend and would purchase this tour again! -The Puertorican Family

Awesome - This company will take excellent care of you. Picked us up at the airport and did a six hour Rome trip. Took us to the Amalfi Coast and to the cruise port. Was early and eager to care for of us.

Travel Agent Review for Rome Private Excursions (RPE) - As a travel advisor, I always strive to partner with the most reliable and high-quality service providers for my clients—and Rome Private Excursions is my absolute go-to in Rome. Whether it’s pre- or post-cruise transfers or full-day tours, Luca and his exceptional team at RPE never disappoint. I’ve confidently booked several couples and families through RPE, and the feedback is always the same: outstanding. Luca’s team goes above and beyond, ensuring every detail is handled with care. They’re not only incredibly knowledgeable about the destination, but they bring an energy and passion to each tour that leaves a lasting impression on my clients. One of the things I value most is how communicative and organized the RPE team is. They make sure both myself and my clients are well-informed well in advance of any pickup or tour. Emails and texts with confirmations are sent in the days leading up to each service, which gives everyone peace of mind and makes my job significantly less stressful. I cannot say enough about Luca and his team—the care and attention they put into every booking is truly unmatched. They consistently exceed expectations, and I’m always confident my clients are in the best hands when I book with Rome Private Excursions.

Great company - We had a driver for transport, and he was awesome. Gave us history of the city, and was a great experience. We were picked up from the airport with a sign with our name, and he also took us to the cruise ship three days later. He was early, loaded the bags, polite, and made the trip very smooth. We will use them again when we go back.

Great pre-cruise tour off Rome - Had a great pre-cruise tour of Rome. Our driver was born in Rome and had a detailed knowledge of the city and the sites we wanted to see. The vehicle was extremely clean. He kept our luggage and took us right to our ship and I definitely give the tour five stars.

Best of the best - Thanks to the amazing communication before our tour and our drivers, Max and Antonio, we were able to visit the 3 major sights our group of 10 wanted to see and get a wonderful Italian lunch! Our personal tour guide Maria was phenomenal and we were able to get through Vatican City. She was able to give us so much information as we walked through this beautiful location. We highly recommended this tour company! We use them again when we are in Florence next week and we can not wait!!

Late plane but still saw it all! - Our tour guide Chris was amazing! Our plane was very late. He waited and checked on us while we worked through the delay and getting our bags. We were off and running as soon as we hit the car. With his experience and knowledge we were still able to see all of the sights in Rome with our very limited time.

Airport p/u, tour of Rome and d/o at cruise port - We had a wonderful experience with Big Angel! He was so nice, helpful and knowledgeable. Grateful for your company answering the office phone when my phone lost power and my friend called and had you let Big Angel know we were ready to be picked up at the colosseum! Looking forward to you all picking us up from the port and bringing us to the airport. Thank you!
