A wonderful 4 hours spent in Rome - Ahmed was a gracious and very kind guide. He was also patient, friendly, very knowledgeable, and he showed us a great time while we were in Rome. He was a fantastic host! His guide in training was excellent too! Ahmed was ever so kind as to call the Rome lost and found number for us when I was worried about my stolen phone (which was entirely my own fault) from two nights earlier. I appreciated him greatly for doing this as my Italian is good but not enough to understand everything that was said. He always did every little thing that he possibly could to make our journey enjoyable. We really had a great time and Ahmed was mostly responsible for making that happen. Thank you!!

Perfect for an overview of popular sites in a short time! - This is the perfect tour if you are limited on time! The guide was well informed on all the top sites in Rome. We were not interested in standing in lines all day, so this tour gets you to the best vantage points for pictures and information...and we didn't feel rushed. The van was clean and comfortable. We would use them again!

I saw the POPE in Saint Peter’s Square! - This was the best tour that I have ever taken. We passed by many of the historical sites and Alan was very informative. We also stopped to take pictures and buy souvenirs but the best part was that we saw the POPE in Saint Peter’s Square. This I will remember for the rest of my life. The driver Ahmad or Achmad? Was a skilled driver Saint peters

Extraordinary, must do tour when in Rome. - When in Rome, I highly recommend a tour to see all the best attractions. We were picked up exactly on time. In a very clean and comfortable van. I have 2 teenagers, who loved the tour, our driver/guide Ahmed, did an excellent job. He had a lot of information on the sites, and answered everything we asked on the way. He made all the stops when we wanted to. We even got to have a little public mass on the Vatican by the Pope. For sure will do it again. And will ask for Ahmed as our guide. Thank you Rome First Choice Tours for pairing us with an excellent guide. This tour exceeds all expectations.

Great guide - Great overview of the colosseum. We received some great information. The views were amazing. Our guide even suggested we check out a beautiful church just a short distance away from the site. It was incredible.
