Sara was excellent, knowledgeable, friendly, didn’t make us feel rushed at any time. She cares about her job/work and is excited to share her knowledge about the history of Rome. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her or to take this tour.

The knowledge of Guide had. He was able to give us all of the highlights on what could’ve been an eight hour tour and he was awesome explaining everything to us

It turned out my wife and I were the only ones on this private tour. Marta is a great guide. We were able to skip-the-line, as well go to some places most folks don't know about. Don't hesitate and take this tour!

We had a fabulous time on both tours!!!! Claudia was very prompt on her arrival, warm, friendly, and very knowledgeable of the Colosseum Tour. She made the information very interesting and easy to understand. She was a fantastic tour guide. Tommaso was also fabulous for the Sights of Rome Tour. He also was very prompt on his arrival, warm, friendly, and easy to talk with. He completely tailored the tour to us and was able to gage the situation when our youngest daughter was feeling a bit tired and needed a “gelato” stop 😃. He was very informative and relatable. He was a fantastic tour guide. I would highly recommend both tours and both Claudia and Tommaso as tour guides!!!
