Great experience - We did A LOT in one day and our guide Francesco and driver made it an enjoyable experience. Everything was prearranged, driver always found places close to drop us off and pick us up, and Francesco had great information to share with us on each stop. Highly recommend.

Wow! What a tour. - This private tour definitely deserved a 5++ rating. Giovanni (our driver) was magnificent at navigating the complex streets of Rome, providing interesting information and made us feel like VIP's. Our guide Marina maneuvered through the sites with ease while providing fascinating historical details about Rome, her home city. They both treated us like family. There were no difficulties with communication, they both spoke very good English. Lunch at the ristorante provided a delicious full authentic Italian meal. Overall, an astounding experience that is well worth the time and expense. Use of Viator provided a worry free day of sightseeing and we will definitely utilize their services again.

Best private tour to Rome and Vatican in a day! - My daughter and I had a fabulous experience with this tour! Our driver Giovanni was incredibly knowledgeable and got us into each of our reservations in perfect time. His vehicle was immaculate, comfortable, and cool. We so enjoyed our authentic Italian lunch with wine. In the Vatican, we were introduced to our walking guide,Sabrina, who brought rich history to life with depth and passion. She offered fascinating insights, giving us a new appreciation. She also helped us navigate through the crowds with ease, and used her guide pass to help us skip long lines. We recommend this tour to anyone looking for a meaningful, comfortable, and personalized experience in Rome and the Vatican.

See Rome the only way it should be done with experts! - Giovanni our driver and tour guide for the first half of our tour was amazing and so knowledgeable and explains everything in a great detail that you can visualize the ancient Rome. His driving was so impressive going down the narrow streets with ease and knowing short cuts when traffic got bad. Paulo was our guide thru the Vatican museum he was unbelievable with the knowledge he knew especially explaining the Sistine Chapel brought to our attention things we never knew and wouldn't know with out Paulo. If you go to Rome do it with a tour co especially TripAdvisor you need an expert to point out all the points of interest with the history behind it. It doesn't matter what the cost is its worth every penny. Absolutely on time for pick up and return with relaxing in a new luxury van.

Private Rome tour - Weeere picked up promptly at the dock. Our drivers and tour guides were great and managed us as a group well. My wife and I walk slower than the others and she a knowledged that fact without issue. We saw places in Tome and learned so much on our tour. It was worth ever penny. I would highly recommend a private tour when in Rome

The Only Way To See Rome! - Our tour was fabulous! Our driver and tour guides provided excellent service and navigated us through the crowds and through fast pass lines. We literally saw all of the highlight spots and had time to tour with full entrance passes. If you question whether the price is worth it….. it definitely is!!! We would never have gotten to see as much going on the normal cruise excursions. Lunch and wine was included, it was wonderful as well! We were traveling with an 11 month old and they were very accommodating. Highly recommend this company and tour!

The only way to see Rome in a day - Our tour guide and diver were spot on. Catered to our needs and limitations without hesitation. The only way to visit Rome. There is no possible way we would have seen everything in one day. It was worth $$ as we have also done larger group tours. Our guide was great. Highly recommend this excursion
