- sharonbennett9260 contributionsRome in one day on a private tour -- the only way to go!!!!Alessandro was stellar. He is the ultimate tour guide / driver. He was waiting for us when we exited the ship as promised, and from then on he did not disappoint. Everything about the tour was wonderful.the guide took us to places we had not expected and all the places we did expect. such as the colisseum , the forum, trevi fountain, the vatican, palentin hill. He was always kind and courteous,, and he got us as close to the attractions as possible. Which I really appreciated. I was having some challenges walking on the steps since I am short and really appreciated the effort, he made to get me close. we had purchased skip the line tour for the Colisseum and then a private tour of the Vatican Museum ( the best way to visit the Sistene Chapel). having pre purchased the tickets saved time and guaranteed an entry. it also helped create a schedule that would maximize our time in Rome Aleessandro suggested a wonderful little restaurant near the Vatican for lunch before our afternoon tour and called in the order to save time. The restaurant was very nice, clean, and comfortable and the food was amazing. Alessandro's suggestions to made the most of our time in Rome were fantastic. i have to say a private tour might seem expensive at first, but was worth every penny!!!!Written October 9, 2024
- Navigate488163438920 contributionsPrivate guided tour of RomeOur guide and driver, Christiano, showed us Rome over two days, in the Castel Gandolfo and Roman countryside, and Best of Rome and Vatican tours. He was extremely knowledgeable, and navigated us through the streets expertly, he was very friendly and engaging, and clearly enjoyed showing off his city. We learned so much and saw so many beautiful and important sites. There is no way we could have seen so much of Rome without him. We give him our highest recommendation and when we return to Rome, we will definitely be calling on him again.Written October 8, 2024
- Nick F0 contributionsExceptional private tour!Today we had a private tour to Tuscany , Sienna, and San Gimignano. First, I’d like to shout out to our driver an d tour guide Vito. He showed his knowledge and expertise of the area. He took us to all the places we wanted to see, answered all our questions, helped take pictures, and drove safely. His car was exceptionally clean and even provided a cable to keep our phones charged so that we could take more pictures I highly recommend Vito as your tour guide in the Florence areaWritten October 6, 2024
- nickfF2659BX0 contributionsRome in a Day!Our tour exceeded every expectation First of all, A Huge Grazie to Cristiano for making this a special day! His knowledge, professionalism, and expertise of Roman history was exceptional. Cristiano was literally a Gentleman and a Scholar. He navigated swiftly through the area so that we could see all the sites in one day. And he even arranged a special meal for us at an authentic Italian restaurant in the Vatican area. Overall, this was a day to remember, made extra special by Cristiano!Written October 4, 2024

- 440aimeek0 contributionsMidwesterners too the SeaOmg this was one of the best days of our trip. SAL was an absolute hero. He never stopped entertaining us for 13 hours. This was absolutely perfect for a mixed age group short on time. I love how could customize the day we wanted. Of note, do not book this day on a Wednesday as the famous restaurant is closed. If we every come back to Italy would want Sal as our driver, such wicked cool man, and if possible an even better driverWritten September 27, 2024
- kimberlyfL5887TO0 contributionsBest of Rome day tour!September 27th, Chris picked us up in front of our hotel… we discussed places that we have seen and places we wanted to see! He was so pleasant to talk with and full of information. He was so smart! We visited “the wedding cake” and got some time to explore the ruins in the back by ourselves. He had tickets to the coliseum for us and gave us advise and time to take the tour. It was amazing! Next we drove through Ancient Rome and viewed the old walled gates and one of the top mountains to view the city… we went to a few churches and then to the catacombs! Something I had NEVER seen before!!! He picked a wonderful place for lunch and we enjoyed the food and wine. Chris was amazing and we enjoyed our tour sooo much! It was worth every penny!Written September 27, 2024
- Companion2167280 contributionsFCO to SorrentoSaturday, September 21, Luca picked us up at the air port (FCO) and drove us to our hotel in Sorrento. We were so pleased to see and meet Luca at the airport! After the “cattle call” at customs and the hurried people in the air port, it was refreshing to see our own personal driver! Finding him was easy and the van was amazing and comfortable. He even stopped for us along the way for a bathroom break. It was so comfortable and easy to talk with him along the way. We enjoyed the trip through Naples and into Sorrento! RomePrivateExcursions excutions is above 10 out of 10!! It was amazing!!Written September 24, 2024
- coreygQ5339BN0 contributionsQuiet rideThis particular driver was boring. He barely spoke and we had to load our own bags. He didn’t even introduce himself. It was quite a contrast to our previous drivers who were fantastic.Written September 24, 2024
- jeffreymS1633DI0 contributionsPrivate tour of Rome from cruise shipExcellent communication prior to booking directly with the company owner,. Very flexible, This private tour exceeded all of our expectations. This is the only way to go ! We (4 of us) got picked up directly at the cruise ship port, by an excellent and very knowledgeable driver who customized our tour. He kept an eye on the time and arranged things as necessary to get us to all of our bucket list items. The private tour of the Vatican, Sistine Chapel and St. Peters Basilica was very well coordinated and so educational. The guides are experts at customer service. There is just no comparison to a crowded bus with microphones and 60 peopleWritten September 23, 2024

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

My advice - if there is anything at all you are considering splurging on when you visit Rome, then make it a tour with Massimo! He was overflowing with enthusiasm, knowledge, and perspective. My wife and I were instantly put at ease with him from right when he stepped out of the van to say hello. He took us to key spots, entertained our spur of the moment requests, and kept us focused so we accomplished everything set out for our time together.
When considering if you want to spend the money - do you want to go on 5 different, half-baked tours with a massive group or have 1 complete day with a new friend who is complete focused on your questions, interests, and needs? My wife and I agree - our best time in Italy was with Massimo and Rome Private Excursions!

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.

We had Max as our guide, he was great! He was a good driver, spoke excellent English, and best of all he was so knowledgeable. Everything we saw was very important to Christianity, yet we would never have found on our own. We all truly enjoyed our day and learned so much. Definitely recommend!!

I loved being picked up and dropped off at the hotel and the private tour of the city and St. Paul and Peter and our tour guide was very nice. I cannot stand nor walk for long periods of time. This private tour allowed me to experience the scenic view drive,and minimum walking.

Are we able to 'skip the line' on the catacombs and Mamertine or will we have a long wait? Also, there's only two of us; will they combine us with another group?
Written August 26, 2019
We were not able to skip lines at either location, but the wait at Mamertine was very short. The catacombs wait was about 20 minutes in late April, so expect some wait time there. The Mamertine tour is self-directed using audio devices. The Catacombs tour is docent-led and you will be broken up into groups of 15-20 by spoken language. Our tour guide was a 1st-year seminarian student from USA - very informative!

Like the previous questions that do not appear to be answered, the ad states the tour is from $90.86 but when we go to book it the price states almost $300. What is the true price and what is the $90.86 tour?
Written August 15, 2019
From my understanding, because it is a private tour, the tour is a flat rate. Then that rate is divided by how many people are going. If 8 people (the maximum amount) go, it is the lowest price per person (90.86.) But if less people go, it is more expensive per person because they still have to cover the entire rate.

Gibt es die Möglichkeit, die Tour auf Deutsch zu machen? Oder gibt es ausschließlich englischsprachige Guides?
Wir wären sehr dankbar für eine schnelle Rückmeldung :)
DANKE :)
Written April 8, 2019
this tour says from $96 and when I went to book it, the price went all the way up to $295! Can you please clarify? We really would like to do this tour at the lower price.
Written March 3, 2019
Hi! Is any part of this tour guided or is it basically transportation to all of these places? Thanks!
Written March 3, 2019
It shows on the web page tour is $95 but when I go to order it says its $214 a person. Why such a price variance?

Is there much walking in this tour? .. We're interested in a tour that requires minimal walking .. due to my husband's handicap!
