Awesome experience made better by Rome Private Excursions (RPE). Driver picked us up on time right at our apartment and drove us around. Drooped us off at the Vatican for an avoid the lines inside tour of the Vatican museum and Sistine chapel. The tour guide was amazingly knowledgeable about all facets. She was also energetic and funny. Based on our questions, she had no problem providing detailed information on any topic. I would use RPE again in a heartbeat

Rome, private excursions was the company that my wife and I used for three days. We saw every conceivable site, including a private tour of the Vatican in that time. Our driver was extremely fluent in English and showed us things that we would never have seen without his guidance. we had often on Weather, but it really didn’t make any difference to us as we toured all these special sites. I would totally recommend using this company at any time.

Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and responsive to our interests. We visited well known and important sites as well as lesser known compelling sites that would have been difficult to navigate on our own. The visit far exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend!

Visiting the Church of Domine Quo Vadis was so sobering! According to the story, Peter walked the Appian Way, fleeing persecution, where he had a vision of Jesus Christ. In this vision Peter asked Jesus "Quo vadis?" to which He replied, "Romam vado iterum crucifigi" ("I am going to Rome to be crucified again"). According to tradition, Peter returned to Rome after this vision and was crucified upside down, a manner that would have been reverential but not taking meaning away from what our savior did.
