Stephane was great! Would recommend this experience when you first arrive to Rome, allowed us to see all the major highlights that we would be returning to later. Our driver Stephane also gave us the best recommendations of the trip for dining.

The tour Guide, Sabino, made this tour the best. He was personable, knowledgeable and fun. Despite the traffic in Rome due to the holiday (12/8) he maneuvered around like it was as easy as pie. It wasn't and it took skills to get through all the holiday visitors in Rome. He taught us so much about the history of Rome and we thoroughly enjoyed the tour.

We only had a short time in Rome (just a day) and this was the best way to see the highlights. Alexander was a wonderful guide. He knew how to navigate the city to get the most. He also knows his stuff, he made it fun and interesting. If you don't have a lot of time, I would highly recommend this short tour. I went with my family and they loved it. The van was comfortable for all 5 of us and easy to get in and out of it.

Driver tailored to tour for our interests and knew the city very well. Pick up and drop off at many locations and he was easy to find.

Chris_D

Driver was super nice! That's about it. The "tour" was very lukewarm at best. Just a few facts thrown out as we travel from site to site, but at each stop we would be let out of the van for self-roaming (non guided). It felt more like having a private driver for 3hrs but not a tour guide. We just hit up all the basic popular spots but there was no personal touch of a guided tour. Better to go with the vespa tour, we loved that one!

This tour was amazing! Stephan was a superb guide. He took us everywhere and gave us the history of everything we visited. He was very flexible to our requests and showed us other areas and attractions we were interested in. One of the great things about this tour is that Stephan was able to drive very close to the sights and we could just hop out, take a photo, and drive away. He provided both past and future stories about each place, which gave a complete context of what we were seeing. This tour is not inexpensive, but it was absolutely worth it to see so many sights quickly and comfortably in just 4 hours. Highly recommend!

Robert_K

Stephan was a wealth of knowledge and customized our tour based on sites we had not visited yet. He knew the best spots for photos. The luxury car was very comfortable—it was a great way to see the major sites during the heat of summer.

Suzanne_M

Excellent overview of the highlights of Rome, our guide was Antonio, just as nice as could be and very informative. We enjoyed his commentary and the sights. :)

Debbie_S

Last minute booking because our other tour cancelled on us and this was fantastic. Our driver, Sabino, was the perfect host to show us around Rome. Arranged the morning to drop us by the Colosseum for our afternoon tickets and gave us recommendations for lunch. Would 100% book again if we return to Rome.

Kate_C

Stefan was incredible! He took us to all of the most popular sites in Rome while giving us history on each place. Any question we asked him, he knew! He was kind, easy to talk to, and overall very happy to be showing us his city. This tour is seriously the only way to see the city if you have a limited amount of time!
