This review, too, is long overdue. We’ve been to Rome twice in the last two years, and both times with done tours with Italy Hotline and Gourmet Custom Tours. The first year we did the Vatican and a walking culinary tour of central Rome. The culinary tour was excellent; we found places we’d never have discovered on our own, and... More

This review is long overdue... but I must write this review as I look over old pictures of our trip in 2009. We visited the Vatican and since I was pregnant, had a 2 1/2 year old son, and an elderly (but active) Aunt with my husband and myself... I figured we might need frequent breaks and would not do...

My adult daughter and I were in Rome for a short time and we wanted to see ancient Rome and take a cooking class. Siena and her team gave us an experience and memories that will last a lifetime. Daniela gave us a tour of the Forum, Colusium and the Palatine that was the equivalent of a college level course... More

Six of us took a market tour and cooking class with Francesca Flore. First we shopped for the ingredients in the open market. We then went to her apartment and learned step by step how to prepare our Italian dinner. While shopping later in the week, we ran into Francesca who was leading another tour. Francesca is not only knowledgeable... More

Had a terrific time with Chef Francesca Flore, cooking up a storm on Thanksgiving. Worth every penny. A perfect activity while traveling solo, but also great with a group. More

My husband and I recently used Italy hotline for two tours...one a personal tour of the Vatican Museum, Sistine Chapel and St. Peters...another a driver and guide from Rome to Pompeii then on to Positano. Both experiences were very efficient and beyond our expectations. The guides were excellent and the arrangements seemless. More

There were four in our group and each of us had been to Rome several times for various business and pleasure trips. On the recommendation of a friend, we hired Italy Hotline to provide a tour of neighborhoods none of us knew: the Jewish ghetto and Trastevere. We were not disappointed. Our guide, Sarah, was bright, charming and knowledgable. She... More

We sent on a cruise and we stopped in Rome for only one day. We were a large group of 12 people ages 15 - 75. This tour was perfect for us. We got to see everything we wanted to, didn't need to wait on any long lines since all tickets were paid for in advance. Our tour guide Daniela... More

Eight adults of my family spent 2 weeks in Italy for the first time. We chose Italy Hotline based on recommendations of a good friend that had used their guide services and we were not disappointed. We took 5 different tours with them while in Italy--Florence (all day), Rome evening stroll, Rome all day ancient city, Pompeii, and Venice half-day... More
