No better way to tour Roma! - We had an incredible experience with Ricardo Ciardi during our shore excursion in Rome. From the moment he picked us up right outside our cruise ship, Ricardo made sure our day was unforgettable. We spent a full 8 hours touring the best of Rome, and he made every moment special. The highlights of our day were definitely the Colosseum and the Vatican. Ricardo's deep knowledge of these historic sites added so much to our experience, and his passion for Rome’s history truly shines through. He was incredibly patient, answering all of our questions, and his friendly demeanor made us feel completely at ease. If you're looking for a guide who is both professional and personable, Ricardo is the perfect choice. He went above and beyond to make sure we had a memorable day in Rome. Highly recommended!

Love Rome! - Great tour, would recommend. Our driver and guide, Ricardo Ciardi was super friendly and knowledgeable. He adjusted our schedule so that we could avoid crowds as much as possible. Ricardo also arranged a reservation for lunch where we had one of the best meals of our trip so far. Our whole family enjoyed our day in Rome.

Once in a lifetime - This was an excellent private tour arranged by Monica for me and my husband as we wanted to check all of the “must do sites” on our first tour of Rome. The private car was perfect on a record heat day. Mauro was knowledgeable and extremely friendly. He heard us wanting a cappuccino early in the morning and insisted on taking us to one of his favorite local places. It was well worth the 20 minute detour. We saw ALL of the sites with knowledge given the entire way of what areas we were passing etc. We wanted a full Vatican day so we will do that next time and requested we do a local food tour instead. Monica and Carlo made an excellent side tour for us guided by Angelo. The Suppli, charcuterie board, and three Pasta dishes were seriously some of the best food we’ve ever had and that’s coming from a couple of very picky New Yorkers lol. We felt like a true local thanks to Angelo not taking us to tourist traps and only to the most local establishments. Thank you thank you thank you for making our day easy, and a memory of a lifetime!

Great Introduction to Rome’s Best Sights - Mauro was a GREAT driver and was very knowledgeable. He was immediately where we discussed when pickup was needed, and he always got very close by so we didn’t have to walk far (in addition to the Tour walking). Lunch was amazing at his recommended spot! I would ask for him again if we return to Civitavecchia.

Great cruise ship private tour - Great private tour of Rome, seamless pickup and return to the ship. Seeing Rome in peak tourist season is crowded, but this private tour takes all of the stress out. Our driver was helpful and knowledgeable, and my family is still talking about the lunch we had from his recommended restaurant.

Nice Tour with Knowledgeable Guide - Fabrizio was a great driver who was full of information about Roman history. He helped us to see so many wonderful sights in a short amount of time. We stopped and had a delicious lunch outside of the Vatican and enjoyed some laughs in the car ride back to port. Although Fabrizio almost canceled our tour just before departure due to a miscommunication over a car seat, he made the best with what he had and showed us a good time. Would recommend this company for a nice time in Rome.
