The best tour experience of Rome. - We only had one day in Rome so decided to book this tour to maximise our time. Had an amazing tour with a fantastic tour guide called Sev who is a forensic archaeologist working in Rome so his knowledge base was extremely extensive. We have never had such an informative, engaging and entertaining tour and Sev brought history to life for us. He made the whole experience unforgettable whether it was your first visit to Rome or you had visited before. The facts he shared were interesting and delivered with great humour. The best day we have ever had touring a fascinating city.

A must do tour in Rome - This tour is a MUST no longer how long you plan to spend in Rome. The tour covers all highlights of Rome including the Pantheon, the Roman Forum, Trevi Fountain, Colosseum, Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel. There is no way you could do all of the places on your own using Google Maps. The tour guide knows his way around and also we ‘skipped the line’ in a number of places because we were a tour group. Our tour guide Nicola (Nick) was amazing. He was so a pleasure to listen to as he was very knowledgeable and passionate about the history of Rome.

So worth it!! - Sev was an amazing tour guide. We learned so much. It was enjoyable and informative. We had a wonderful day and it was all due to Sev. We hope if you plan to take this trip you experience the wealth of knowledge that Sev has. Thank you Sev.

Fast paced but we saw a lot! - Our visit started in the heart of Rome, then we visited the ruins of the forum before going to the coliseum. The bus ride from there to the Vatican was a welcome rest. There is so much to see in the Vatican museums and this visit was really just a quick introduction. This is a visit for someone who just wants to see the highlights in a very limited time, and is ready to do a lot of walking. We Ubered to and from the start and end points and still logged almost 8 miles. Our guide was excellent, but being very hard of hearing, the little earbuds didn’t work very well for me as I couldn’t catch much of what was said. Overall I’d do it again if limited on time.

Great Tour, Great Guide - Our guide, Maria Laura, was fantastic. She had a wealth of Italian history knowledge and got us in perfect spots for unforgettable picture locations! The tour itself brought us to many of Rome’s historic sites and ended with a nice long stroll through the Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel.

BY ROME WITH OUR ANGELA CUSTODIA!!!! - We made 3 visits - Baroque Rome by the squares, Ancient Rome and Rome center with Vatican museums, with Angela. Super-available, attentive, very professional, cult but without tiredness and with a lot of humor took us through the main points of the city, with the art of who knows and who loves his profession. Of all of us our thanks.

Vatican dangerous - The guide was great but the Vatican is dangerously overcrowded The Vatican knows it and doesn’t care. All they want is the ticket fees. They easily have a stampede there getting many killed
