Unmatched service - Alex (as we called him) is simply the BEST. We spent one full day touring Rome's highlights with him in 2016. This time we did two full days that included the Vatican, Sistine Chapel, Colosseum, Tivoli, Hadrian’s Villa, and Villa D’Este. Alex also drove us from Rome to the second part of our trip in Positano. All I can say is; the value far surpasses cost. We know many people that have used Alex in the past and the result is always the same. Phenomenal. Having Alex guide you is like stepping back in time, and his knowledge of history and details is unmatched. If you want to feel truly cared for, have a tailored experience, and be treated like family book him now… before we do again.

You must see Villa D’Este if you visit Rome. - We had a great day with Alessandro on our first day in Rome. We landed from the US @ 6:30 am and didn’t want to waste our first day. Alessandro is a lifelong resident of Rome & was a knowledgeable and fun tour guide. He provided all transportation in a clean van & also walked us through both sites, providing interesting commentary and general Roman history for context. He also picked a great little lunch spot in Tivoli and helped us navigate the menu to accommodate for allergies. Overall we had a wonderful first day in Rome and are very appreciative of Alessandro’s expertise and kindness. The gardens at Villa D’Este are remarkable and totally worth a visit, even though there are so many other things to see in Rome. We were blown away. Highest recommendation!

Water fountains and waterfalls running on gravity. - Our tour guide, Serena Paolini, of Blue Cat Tours, was already waiting for us when we arrived. She is a wealth of information, pleasantly and methodically explaining the wall and ceiling paintings in every room. Then, for the main course, the water fountains of tivoli gardens italy. There were waterfalls, an organ fountain and picturesque views of the countryside below.
The 100 fountains are just as impressive now as it was over 40 years, and it the evening when the lights enhanced its beauty. Serena is not sure they do that anymore.

Worth the day trip - We had a wonderful, interesting day with Alessandro. He was a great driver and knowledgeable tour guide. He made sure we did not miss anything significant and shared interesting stories about the area. The trip is a great way to get a taste of rural Italian countryside - ancient trees, olive groves, country roads, small towns. Villa Adriana is fascinating and Alessandro brought it to life with pictures and descriptions. Villa di’Este is s beautiful example of a large country house, and of course, amazing gardens. Allessandro also steered to a great restaurant for lunch.

Exceeded Expectations - The tour exceeded our expectations in every way. From the moment of our pickup and the drive to Hadrians Villa until we got home in the evening. Hadrians Villa was astounding, the scale and majesty take you back in time. I’m a Roman History geek so I knew I wanted to see that, so I wasn’t ready for the wonder of Villa D’Este. Absolutely beautiful. We were so well taken care of and it was fascinating. Thank you.
