Great overview of Rome most popular sites with private driver! - Gaber was so nice and took us to see all the highlights of Rome without the hassle of taxis buses and crowds. His car was very clean and easily accommodated four adults Drop off and pick up was especially wonderful! He also took us to less known gems of Rome and gave us ideas of other places we may be interested in. It’s a nice overview of Rome, even though we had been there before! Highly recommend Gaber Hussein!

A pleasant ride through history without fighting the battle of the crowds. - Knowledgeable guide and many sights visited made for an enjoyable journey through time and place.
Sean’s consideration of our age and health challenges made for a happy day. Gelato stops were an added pleasure.

Great overview of Rome! - This was a wonderful way to get an overview and see the top sights of Rome. We had limited time to see the sights of Rome, and this was a great way to maximize our time. The tour guide was great and showed us so many places while we were with him - the best places for pictures and many interesting bits of history.

Not a tour but more of private driver for the day - Thought I had booked an actual tour but instead this was more of a private driver that took us to the main tourist sites in Rome. July is always hot in Rome and so it was nice to have an AC car driving us around. If you are looking for a tour with some content being shared this is not it.
