Wonderful tour Experience in Rome - We enjoyed a wonderful day in Rome with our knowledgeable driver Francesco who took us to many of Romes historical sites especially seeing Saint Paul's Basilica and his recommendation of a restaurant for a very good pizza lunch.

Excellent tour for anyone with limited time or specific interests - Our group of 8 (4 adults, 4 teens) only had a day and a half in Rome. This was a great way to see the primary sites as well as enjoy the air conditioning in a new Mercedes van. Our driver shared the perfect amount of history and local info, catering to our needs and interests, and importantly - he provided recommendations and suggestions when he saw us getting tired or indecisive. The Vatican guide was also fantastic and showed us far more than we would have on our own. A great way to see the highlights of Rome when you have limited time!

Rome done right! - Wow, Barbara made our family tour an amazing experience! With her broad knowledge of the Rome area/history and her connections with the locals everywhere we went, we felt like royalty as she guided our family through all the stops along our tour. She whisked us through the crowds and ensured we had an enjoyable time and didn't miss any of the amazing spots throughout Rome. Thank you Barbara for an amazing journey and we highly recommend those book you for their next your!

You need to do this! - We were only in Rome for a day and was looking for some way to see everything. I found this service and I am so glad I did. Amazing VIP experience. You get a guide and driver who help you see all the sights comfortably. We love Patricia. She is an amazing person and made this trip special. We wished we could go on more tours with her. She goes the extra mile to make sure you have a memorable time. The last thing you will think about is the cost as you spend all day seeing the Eternal City. Can't recommend this enough!

Overall great tour but... - Overall great tour but disappointed that wifi and water were not available as stated in the tour description especially the water on such a hot day. Also, missed seeing the Spanish Steps and the Pantheon as shown on the tour highlights. For the cost of the tour we should not have missed these sights.
