Great Experience - Great highlights tour! The best way to go around Rome's cobblestone streets which were crowded with tourists, especially like us, with our 82-yr old Mama. They were very precise in maneuvering the golf carts, and courteous to people walking around. Guides/drivers Francesco and "The Irish Man" were very knowledgeable, answered everyone's questions with side notes and comments. Free authentic gelato! Thank you for taking our best photos at the colosseum! PS...office is easy to locate, clean and air-conditioned, friendly staff, offered cold water to everyone, and has a clean restroom too! Thank you guys!

The best tour ever - We recently experienced this tour of Rome, and it was fantastic! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about Roman history and art. The tour included all the must-see sites like the Colosseum and the Pantheon, but also took us through charming lesser-known streets that were just as captivating. The pace was perfect, with enough time to take photos and soak in the surroundings without feeling rushed. It was not only educational but also incredibly fun. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Rome.
