We took two tours in Rome with this Company. They were both excellent. The first tour was to the Vatican. Our guide met us at our hotel and we took the metro to the Vatican. On the way she helped us get acquainted with the Rome subway system. She was very knowledgable and informative about the Vatican museum and the Sistine Chapel. She was also very pleasant and interesting. Although the tour was only supposed to last 4- 5 hours she spent 6 with us and we enjoyed every minute. The second tour was 2 days later to see the sights of ancient Rome. We had a different tour guide who again met us at our hotel. She also was very knowledgable and interesting and was able to provide us with interesting insights into life and politics in ancient Rome. Both tours were private. Some companies advertise "private" tours that involve a group of 20. These both were truly private and we had both guides to ourselves for the duration. I would definitely use this company again.

We took part in a Vatican tour and it was a very enjoyable experience. A very friendly guide (Aoife) who had good knowledge of the history and art of the place and was able to convey it in an interesting way. We learned so much more than had we visited on our own. I would definitely recommend When In Rome to make your holiday experience more worthwhile.

we were only able to spend one day in rome, on July 25, 2008 - our last day in italy before returning home to Honolulu. when realizing the many historic places to see, i made the choice to splurge and have a personal tour. if you are ever in a similar situation, contact "when in rome tours" (d. russo). this was one of the best decisions i made!
we were well taken care of by ann marie who met us at our train stop in rome. (we caught an early train from bologna). she made sure we were always comfortable. we felt so relaxed and were able to appreciate rome's beauty. she adapted the tour of all the memorable locations to me and my 9 yr old. i appreciated her listening to my daughter and taking the time to explain the culture of that time, the culture of the people of rome's amazing history.
mahalo nui!

We cannot say enough good things about When In Rome Tours. We had a private guide for a "Rome In A Day" tour as well as Pompei. They were very knowledgable and we could tell that they really loved what they were doing. We will recommend them to everyone we know who is planning a trip to Italy. It was fantastic.
