RomeInLimo is the Way to Go! - The service and professionalism from RomeInLimo was exceptional! We are four women who only had one day in Rome after a cruise. We booked a private transfer from Rome’s cruise port, Civitavecchia which is about a 90-minute drive to Rome’s city center. We enjoyed a lovely day seeing the most popular sites in Rome, including the Vatican and St. Peter’s Basilica, the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, the Pantheon, and the Trevi Fountain. We had to book tickets to the Vatican and the Colosseum in advance, separately, but our wonderful driver, Guiliano, got us where we needed to be with ease. Although this was a very busy itinerary, we never felt stressed or rushed because Guiliano figured out the timing for us, got us to our destinations, and magically appeared to pick us up when we had completed touring a site. He showed us some additional, lesser visited historic sites in Rome, as well. Guiliano was kind and so helpful. He stopped on a hill above the Colosseum to take a photo of us with the Colosseum in the background, away from the crowds. He recommended a great area to stop for a quick lunch before we continued our whirlwind tour. The vehicle was immaculate and, after very full day, he dropped us (and our luggage) off at our hotel. I also must mention, Jany from the office at RomeInLimo. She was incredibly helpful. Before our trip, I emailed her a lot with various questions about the sites etc. She was so responsive and organized. I really appreciated her prompt and helpful communication. In short, RomeInLimo was responsive, professional, efficient and kind. Our private tour with RomeInLimo was a great way to get a quick picture of Rome, and of course, we all can’t wait to go back!

Private tour of Rome - Cannot recommend this company enough! Our driver, Piero (Peter) was phenomenal. He was a wonderful and super knowledgeable host. Incredibly knowledgeable and shared so much information. He made sure we were comfortable and well taken care of, answered all of our questions and provided so much insight to Rome and its history. We also used this company to take us to the airport. It was a very early flight but they accommodated our needs. Francisco was our driver and an absolute joy. Will definitely use this company again!!

Wonderful private tour for family! - Rome in Limo was amazing! We used them for 2 private day trips and they were unbelievable in every way! From being prompt, taking us off the beaten path per request, dinner recommendations, just a kind heartfelt tour! We had our two smaller children with my husband and I. When we return we will rebook Rome in Limo again! Thank you!

It was a wonderful... - It was a wonderful experience. We were lucky to have Stephane as our driver and guide. Stephane was knowledgeable, friendly and spoke excellent English, which is always a big help for non Italian speakers. The car was new and clean. Stephane gave us a comprehensive tour of the entire city of Rome in air-conditioned comfort. It can’t get any better than that!!! I would highly recommend asking specifically for Stephane, if he is available, as your guide and driver.

AMAZING day in Rome - We had an amazing day in Rome with Francesco as our driver! We did the Vatican on our own the day prior. Francesco picked us up at our hotel and we were off to the Coliseum. Our day was packed—Roman Forums, pantheon, all the Basilicas, Treve Fountain, Spanish steps, shopping in luxury retail district. He gave us a dinner suggestion which ended up being the best meal of our trip. Francesco was very knowledgeable, funny, very kind. Four women traveling together and we felt very safe . I wish this service had been available in every port of call on our Viking Iconic Mediterranean cruise—it would have been well worth the money. Will definitely use this service again for our next trip back to Rome.

Great sites, great guide, great experience! - Our guide was wonderful. He provided a lot of information, history and pictures of before and after of some of the sites. He let us go at our pace and made sure we saw all the important places. He did a great job. We had a wonderful lunch and took some great pictures. I would highly recommend.

No time is wasted with Rome in Limo - they are efficient and fun! - We are so happy we used Rome in Limo for our bucket list stops in Naples and Rome during our Mediterranean cruise. Jany was communicative about our bookings and never left me hanging for a response. Daniele in Naples drove us to Pompeii to meet our private guide, Francesco. Next we were driven to Cantina del Vesuvio for lunch, and finally we were dropped off to hike to the crater of Mt. Vesuvius, which is just awesome. It was lovely to talk with Daniele about life in that area all along the way. We also enjoyed spending the day with Piero in Rome. He drove us around to a number of ruins/highlights and explained the significance. He taught us a lot, and he had a great sense of humor, too! He then put us in the capable hands of a great private Vatican guide, Chiara, who made sure we saw so much amazing art and architecture without getting lost. If you are interested in getting the most bang for your buck during a cruise port day in Italy, I highly recommend Rome in Limo. Both drivers were easy to find at the respective ports, and both kept aware of any ship schedule changes or traffic that could delay return to the port. We only had a few hours in each location, but not a minute was wasted and at no time were we worried about "missing the boat." Most importantly, we met these incredible human beings who love to show off their cities and connect with other people. And they made us want to come back and visit again!

A Day to Remember - We have used Rome in Limo several times over the past few cruises to set up private tours in Rome and Florence. Our experiences have always been outstanding. We have done the highlight and classic tours of Rome and Florence as well ones that are little more off the beaten track and all have been amazing. Jany is extremely patient and knowledgeable in helping plan the day that works for you. The drivers have all been professional, friendly and knowledgeable as well. On our recent tour in Rome, Stephane was our driver and he made the day so special. We chatted about where we had been before, what we'd like to see again and he took us to some new places that were such a treat. The whole day was relaxing and fun and we had such a wonderful day enjoying the sights of Rome. Thank you Rome in Limo -- we look forward to seeing you again sometime!  Cruise Date: October 29 2024 on NCL Escape

Rome and the Vatican - We had a wonderful day in Rome with our driver Nick. He was prompt and navigated us around the busy roads of Rome while showing us many highlights. He was very knowledgeable. We then joined a private Vatican guide, Tiziana. She helped us all through the Vatican and was so interesting! Jany was amazing in making all of the arrangements for us! Great company!

Wonderful Experience Except of a Major Hiccup - Our Tour Guide was amazing, very accommodating. Piero picked us up at our Hotel right on time and took us to the Colosseum which was booked by Viator. That went very well. Next stop was the Vatican, unfortunately, Viator ordered the Italian version of the Tour which did not work for us at all and the Museum would not assist us in any way. That ruined that part of the Tour. We informed Viator who did apologize but we were unable to take that part of the Tour. We are still waiting for compensation for that. Our next venture was off to the the Trevi Foutain, although amazing to see from the second level, there was lines waiting to visit it up close. That was disappointing. Our Driver took us many places and sites before he dropped us back off at the Hotel. all in all, it was wonderful expect for one of the most important, the Vatican.
