Great half day highlight tour - We had a private Rome highlights tour for our group of six, and it was absolutely fantastic! Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, sharing so much history and insight at every stop, while also keeping the experience engaging and enjoyable. He was very accommodating to our pace and interests, making sure everyone in the group had a great time. From start to finish, it felt personalized and seamless. We couldn’t have asked for a better way to experience the highlights of Rome—highly recommended!

Great tour of Rome with Alessandro!!! - Alessandro was an excellent tour guide and I would definitely recommend him to anyone traveling to Rome! We had limited time so decided to do a private half day tour (4 hours) and he did not disappoint!!! He showed us to the 8 highlights, took great family photos and even stopped for us to get Gelati and pizza from places we found online. Book the tour because Alessandro is THE BEST!!!

Alessandro was great! - We are a family of 5 with 3 teenagers. Alessandro picked us up from our hotel in Rome and took us to Trevi fountain, Spanish steps, Pantheon, Colosseum, Keyhole, Vatican, overlook of Rome, and lunch with great insights and historical perspective. Alessandro was knowledgeable and kept the teens engaged. Then he drove us to our cruise. Perfect way to see Rome in a short amount of time.

Best Tour and Guide in Rome! - If you are looking for a personalized experience and a private tour with an experienced and professional guide, you must request Alessandro. We were picked up at our hotel and toured in a private van. Alessandro was extremely knowledgeable and took us to the most important sites around Rome. In addition, he made time for us to stop for the best pizza (not part of the itinerary) as we hadn't had time to eat lunch. The pizza was some of the best we had while in Rome. One of our guests loved the bracelets that Alessandro was wearing and wanted to buy them, so we made a special stop at the store to purchase them. For all of these reasons, I would highly recommend Alessandro for any Rome tours. We will look him up for any future tours of Rome.

Rome Tour through the eyes of a Roman AMAZING! - The tour was fantastic from start to finish our guide Alessandro picked us up from an agreed location near our hotel and was a mind of information from start to finish . Our tour covered all the sights mentioned and the depth of knowledge Alessandro gave us was incredible his use of books really brought some of the sights to life and transported you back when the sights were in use . The transport was very clean and comfortable and water available. I would definitely use this company again a huge Thankyou to Alessandro for making the tour so engaging !
