Justin was Excellent - Justin went above and beyond for us on this tour. He found all the accessible paths that we needed and went at our speed. He was incredibly knowledgeable and visibly passionate about Roman history. He provided such detailed and vivid descriptions that we felt like we could truly picture Roman culture as it was thousands of years ago. Highly recommend.

5 Stars - Our family had a great time on our tour. We have two teenagers and the pace was great to keep them moving and interested. They said the tour was “pretty cool.” Rahul was our guide and his enthusiasm was contagious and we appreciated his ability to move us through the crowds and checkpoints with ease. We recommend this tour!

Superfantastic Private Tour of Rome - Superfantastic tour and a wonderfully passionate tour guide, Eugene. We visited all the sites we hoped to see and more. One of us uses an electric wheelchair and while the tour has some cobblestone roads ... which can't be avoided in Rome, Eugene insured that our path/route was accommodating. We loved the tour and Eugene. Ask him about his favorite lunch stop for an authentic slice of Roman pizza. When in Rome and using Europe Odyssey Tours ask for Eugene.

High quality tours of Rome - My husband and I took several tours with European Odyssey in Rome and all of them were excellent! Not only were the guides experts on history, culture, and art in Rome, they were professional and thoughtful. I use a wheelchair and they were prepared with accessible routes and adjusting to my needs. I highly recommend European Odyssey tours for their expertise, personalization, and warm welcome to Rome!

Go on this tour! - This tour was a great experience and one of our favorite parts of the few days my husband and I spent in Rome! Our guide, Lucian, was so personable, smart and kind. It is incredible all the knowledge he has about the ancient ruins. He kindly answered all our questions, stopped to take some pictures of us, and even gave us some suggestions about dishes to try while we were on our trip! He also went above and beyond after the tour to help us find our way to our lunch spot. There were no taxis in sight near the Colosseum and he hopped on a bus with us and pointed us in the right direction! Would 100% recommend this private tour to others!
