Best of Rome, Sunday no Vatican - Highly recommended. Italy is very hot this week, so it was fantastic to get into an air conditioned van to drive us close to the stops ( still walking involved , but reassuring that we knew it was manageable ). Marie Terese our guide was courteous and pleasant to answer all our questions. The driver Ernesto was pleasant and always on time when we needed to be picked up. I’d definitely use them again.

Well organized with knowledgeable tour guides - The tour was well organized and our driver, and both guides Sara and Nicola were very knowledgeable. The driver picked us up at our hotel and then we met with Sara. Midway we switched and met with Nicola. Unfortunately it’s July and VERY HOT, so our kids ages 10 and 6, could not keep up with all the walking. Both guides were very understanding and accommodating and pointed out the most important things to see. Would highly recommend this 8 hour tour if you are pressed for time and want to get a brief overview of the city and its main sites.

Best tour of the trip - Having a small group and knowledgeable guides and driver was unbeatable. Authentic recommendations for lunch, quick and easy access to all major sites in one day. Could not recommend this enough.

Everything Rome in 5 hrs! - Had a great time. Nicola did an outstanding job of getting us a solid overview of Rome in just 5 hours, which we needed since we had only one afternoon to see Rome.

A must-do when visiting Rome - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our golf cart tour of Rome and the Colosseum was absolutely fantastic! It was a beautiful experience, especially for families. Nichola and Andre were amazing guides who made the tour informative and fun for everyone. They were knowledgeable, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable time exploring Rome's historic sites. The convenience of the golf cart added to the enjoyment as we navigated through the city comfortably. Highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Rome!

A Mother Daughter Day in Rome - Fabulous tour! Our driver, Stefan’s, and guide Nikolai (not sure if I spelled names properly) we’re both skilled and highly professional. We were driven to the closest entrances, skipped to the front of the lines, and provided with an intriguing and informative history of each stop. This is definitely the best way to see the greatest number of locations in a day in Rome, especially for 70+ participants.
