Sabino was fantastic! - Sabino led us on a wonderful tour of past and present Rome. We only had the day to see as much as possible and he hit all the highlights. The choice of the restaurant for lunch was perfect. Sabino was so friendly and knowledgeable! There were four in our party and it was a very hot day, but he kept us comfortable with air conditioning and cold bottled water. We highly recommend Sabino if you are visiting Rome.

Perfect day in Rome - If you only have one day to see a city that deserves weeks, this is absolutely the perfect way for a family or small group to experience Rome. Our driver Alberto was absolutely amazing! He was knowledgeable, friendly, extremely accommodating, and made us feel like family. The Mercedes vehicle was very comfortable for our group of six, and with a little help from Alberto, we were able to customize our tour to see all the best sites that Rome has to offer in just one day. At lunch, we stopped at an amazing restaurant with a wonderful atmosphere, delicious food, great wine, and reasonable prices. I just can't say enough good things about this tour. It was a great experience for our family.

Great for exploring Rome with kids - The private driver for our second day tour of the top 12 sites was great. He was amazing, caring and we had great conversation. We had a beautiful mercedes. Very clean, bottled watered, a/c and wifi which was great for the kids in between sites! We were able to be in and out as fast or as slow as we wanted without having to wait on the bus, or people to come back so we were able to have the time we needed on the tour. It was a little more than I wanted to pay but it was worth the money.

We had the most amazing experience with Alessandro as our guide in Rome. Thank you so much for a wonderful tour!! - We had the most amazing experience with Alessandro as our guide in Rome. Thank you so much for a wonderful and knowledgeable sightseeing tour! Your historical expertise and passion for Rome truly made our visit special. You brought the ancient city to life with your captivating stories and in-depth knowledge of its history, architecture, and culture. We especially appreciated how you used books and visual aids to show us how Rome looked in the past, providing us with even more depth and context. I highly recommend the car because the air conditioning saved us from the extreme heat and prevented us from getting tired. Also, the tour gave us the opportunity to see many sights that we wouldn't be able to do by foot. We will treasure these memories forever. My son (9 year old) keeps talking about the tour and the fascinating details you shared. It was clear that you love what you do, and your enthusiasm was infectious. Grazie Mille for an unforgettable experience!

Outstanding Experience - We truly had a great time. Alberto was the best! This was our first trip to Rome, and we could not have asked for a better tour experience. We got to see all the sites listed, and then some. We even got to enter the Pantheon since the cash line for tickets was relatively short (as compared to the credit card line). We also benefited from being in an air-conditioned Mercedes van on a hot summer day. Alberto was knowledgeable and provided helpful information at each site. He was also friendly and patient. He also suggested a nice restaurant for lunch and took the time to explain to the staff our daughter’s food allergies. We hope to return and take other tours with Alberto.
