Taking a tour was unusual for me as I am an independent-minded (and impecunious!) traveler who likes to see the sights on my own. But I decided that some interpretation could really make a difference in experiencing the ruins of ancient Rome -- and I was right! I got so much out of my tour with Daniela. She is extremely...

Our guide Justin was great and we could not have asked for a better tour. We did the Vatican Tour, Early Christianity as well as Acient Rome. His knowlege of both the hisotry of acient... More

We met our tour guide, Anna, and were part of a group of 12 people, touring the Vatican Museum and ending just outside of St. Peter's. Anna was terrific! Had a thorough knowledge of much of the art in the Vatican Museum and gave interesting tidbits and highlighted some of the specifics of the Rafael Rooms and prepared us completely... More

Used Icon for two different tours during our recent stay in Rome. Booked the Vatican museum group tour and we found it to be very informative with an excellent tour guide. Our 2nd booking with Icon was a private tour of ancient Rome. Daniela wax our tour guide and she was excellent. It was my wife's birthday and it turned... More

I have booked a Rome Forum tour with Icon after reading the comments on the site and visiting their web site. I was under the impression that the tour will be of the highest quality and would be a wonderful way to learn more about the Roman Forum and its important sites. The tour we were given suffered from the... More

After going on an Icon tour of the Vatican a few years back, I decided to go with the same company when I brought my parents to Rome for the first time last week. Thankfully, we weren't disappointed. Our tour guide was great, and she really did a fantastic job of making the tour itself as interesting as possible to... More

My wife and I took 3 ICON tours that I booked through besttoursofrome.com. The first one we did was the Coliseum/Roman Forum tour, then we did the Roman Nights tour, and finally the Vatican Tour. I set up these tours through email before we went to Italy. Sarah was the guide I was in contact with, and she made everything... More

My daughter and I had a great tour with Joanna and Icon Tours. Reasonably priced, not too long (3 1/2 hours), and Joanna was very good. She had an amazing fund of knowledge. We were able to bypass the museum lines and go right in. I definitely would recommend Icon Tours and when in Rome I would use them again. More

We were on a tight schedule and decided last minute to book a private tour for to minimize lines and getting around. Pick ICON upon a friends recommendation. Smartest move we made! Sarah was great. not only did she zip us around with ease, the best part was all of the preparation and knowledge she shared about the art, arch.... More

My sisters and I recently enjoyed a tour of the Vatican with Icon Tours. We sped through the security and ticket process with our leader Joanne. There were only 14 in our group. She was great. Very informative, and did NOT act as if she had done this zillions of times before. I hope to go back to Rome soon,... More
