About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- jennilees20180 contributionsPrivate Vatican tourWe had a fabulous private tour of the Vatican with Marina! She was very informative and fun, answered any questions we had and also let us explore at our own pace. We learned so much and also got to skip the lines! This tour was absolutely worth every penny and we will definitely recommend it to anyone coming to Rome!Written December 6, 2024
- Ronjerr0 contributionsAbsolutely best tourWe had a wonderful tour with Manny of Rome sites that aren't common on tours. He was fantastic and so knowledgeable. I have used this tour company four times and they have always been amazing. I would highly recommend them!Written December 1, 2024
- rosannep20150 contributionsA Must for Catholics interested in their faithMax was an amazing guide! So full of history about Rome and the church. Took us to awesome churches we never would have known about. Hundreds stand in line be to see the Pantheon but few to see the column that Jesus was tied to and whipped. The steps we walked up to be judged by Pontius Pilot. Or walk in the house/church where the early Christians meet and Paul and Peter evangelized. Relics of the manger, cross, nails and thorns from the crown. The catacombs were very interesting. GREAT DAY. Highly recommend!!Written November 18, 2024
- jamesmG8168EE0 contributionsGREAT EXPERIENCEEverything was fantastic. Can not say enough as to how professional and knowledgeable all three have been . We especially would like to thank you for the outstanding knowledge and abilities of Paula at the Vatican! She provided us with extremely informative information and guided us through the maze of the Vatican we never would have made it were it not for she. To the point we may even still be inside the Vatican. We simply cannot say enough as to her knowledge personality and understanding of my situation in particular. Also the timeliness of both drivers to be where they said they would be when they said they would be there . The personalities and knowledge of both drivers were of a great assistance in our new understanding of all of Rome. We sincerely thank you all throughout this entire process in making it seamless and successful! We would highly recommend your services to our friends and relatives!

- moryp20150 contributionsTransfer from Rome City center to the airportWe were a group of 11 people departing at 530 am from our hotel in Rome to the airport. We were very surprised to find our 2 vans waiting for us when we went downstairs at 5:20 am. Professional, friendly and fast transfers. Definitely the best in Rome. Thanks guys !!!Written November 10, 2024
- Sightseer7648260 contributionsFantastic quick tour of Rome!We had an absolutely wonderful tour! With only about 7 hours on a cruise stopover, we were able to see the catacombs, the colosseum (including the interior), St Peters square, the Trevi fountain, and SO MUCH more. Winding through the small downtown streets and seeing the city view from an elevated viewpoint were highlights. We learned so much from the excellent commentary from Michele, our very personable driver/guide. We were picked up and dropped off on schedule. We highly recommend this tour company.Written November 7, 2024
- marylous4690 contributionsWalking tour of FlorenceWalking Tour of Florence - We really enjoyed the tour of Florence with our guide Katrina. She was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed her company. We saw the David but also enjoyed other parts of the museum that we might not have known about had Katrina not explained the exhibits to us. We walked around town and she gave teh history and interesting tidbits that, again, we would have missed if we just strolled on our own. She was also able to give us insights on where to shop for gold and leather. I highly recommend!Written November 5, 2024
- pamsB519WV0 contributionsIf you only have a day in Rome, reserving Rome Private Excursions is the way to go!WE LOVED OUR DAY with Sal! It was a wonderful experience and we felt so honored to see so much of Rome in such a short time. He was a walking historian and impressed us all so much with is insights. The day was seamless and our tour of the Vatican was great as well. You run a great company with high quality personnel. The entire day was impressive and one we will all remember for our lifetimes! Thank you for giving us such a great tour guide!!!!Written November 4, 2024
- chrystine s0 contributionsWonderful tourA great day in Rome. Our driver was very helpful, enthusiastic, and flexible. Even added a tour of the Catacombs at the end of the tour. Customized the route to maximize our time. Definitely would recommend to othersWritten November 4, 2024
- 525betsyb0 contributionsRome in a dayWe did a private shore excursion from Civitavecchia titled "Best of Rome & Vatican". The only way to see so much in just 1 day! Carlo was amazing and made sure we enjoyed this beautiful part of Italy without missing a thing. He made stops along the way and was very skilled at explaining the history and importance of the sites. Side note - the crowds at the Vatican Museums made that part not at all enjoyable and I wish we had chosen the inside of the Basilica instead.Written November 3, 2024
- J1969PNmichaelm0 contributionsEccellente!!Luca and his team were very easy to work with, they were very accommodating. Massimo, our driver, was extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. We only had 1 full day in Rome and I'm SO happy we chose Rome Private Excursions. We will definitely use them again!Written November 1, 2024
- C1106930 contributionsAwesome companyWe did an ancestry tour. Such a great experience. Our driver Domenek was professional and funny. He knew the history of the area very well. We've also done many transfers with RPE, all on time and professional. I highly recommend them!Written October 29, 2024
- katherinedG9408LE0 contributions100% would do this again! Best your in Rome with crisThis is the best tour we have done! If you want a tour to be relaxed and extremely informative and fun, this is the tour for you! Cris made the tour feel highly personalized to us. If you’re are doing only one tour this is it!Written October 27, 2024
- jannagalb0 contributionsThe best of Rome in one day!One of our family members recommended that we contact Rome Private Excursions to have the best experience possible as we were only in Rome for one day. We are so glad we took their advice! Communication with the office was marvelous. They were very accommodating in changing our pickup hotel and kept us updated regarding our reservation with them. Sal, short for Salvatore, picked us up and actually came inside the lobby to greet us and show us to the van. He provided so much historical information as we drove from site to site that we felt well prepared for what we were about to experience. We had clear communication about where and when to meet, and he navigated the crazy Rome traffic with great patience and expertise. The company had also made arrangements for us to have a private tour of the Vatican. We met Paula and had a delightful time going through the Vatican Museum, the Sistine Chapel, St. Peter's Basilica and much more. She was quick to point out the nuances of the buildings and artwork/artifacts that one would miss if not looking for it, such as the ancient tapestries that move with the viewer! Sal provided water for us in the van and took us to a cafe that had the best sandwiches, and then later he stopped by a little Gelato shop for our pleasure. We had tickets and time to see both the Vatican and the Coliseum, so we did not have to stand in line and got out to stretch our legs and to take the magnitude of the Roman Forum. Communication was clear and concise; arrangements were marvelous, and the history and sites were very well explained, and actually came alive with the level of detail both guides shared. We felt the tour was well worth our time and money and highly recommend this organization and their tours for others.Written October 25, 2024
- Trail048376718070 contributionsPrivate Excursion to AssisiOur private excursion to Assisi was fabulous. We had a great time and enjoyed the day, were on time and found a wonderful place to eat with a gorgeous view. We loved that we were able to learn more about the area from our driver and see the countryside. It was one of the best days of our trip. We would definitely recommend this to others.Written October 25, 2024

Luca made this the most enjoyable trip I've ever taken. From the start he educated us about Rome and Italy with great passion and expertise. He and his associate Johnnie (Giovanni) were kind and wonderful guides on our Italian adventure. They made us feel welcome and made certain that we had everything we could possibly need. We will definitely be back to see more of Italy, and will absolutely do so with Luca! Ciao!

I can't say enough about this experience. First, our guide/driver Manny is the very best guide in all of Italy. Friendly, knowledgeable and prompt. Clean, comfortable car. The visit to both Siena and San Gimignano were amazing, but I can't say enough good things about the winery experience. Far exceeded any wine tasting I've ever done in Napa, Sonoma or even France. Amazing wines, wonderful food, beautiful scenery. If you are considering booking a private tour in Italy, Rome Private Excursions is the very best. I've also experienced their full day Private Tours in Rome including the Vatican and Colosseum, Florence with the Academy and Luca/Pisa full day trip. Also, one of the best parts of working with Rome Private Excursions is the excellent communication before and after the tour. You never have to worry about being picked up. Simply perfection.

What an amazing first trip to Italy. This is the only way to see Rome and Tuscany. I'm very impressed by the "service" and constant communication before, during and after my trip especially when I missed my connecting flight to Rome and then delayed luggage. Luca kept tabs on me and even helped me call ALITALIA the next day about my bag.
The wealth of knowledge that Luca, Johnny, and Max provided our group was amazing. They got us front of the line tickets to popular attractions, arranged for the most awesome guide to tour the Vatican Museum and Vatican, showed us the most famous sites in Rome and drove us door to door each day.
In Tuscany we visited some well known towns and some smaller towns that were full of history. They arranged private wine tastings, private dinners, and even a private spa experience for our group. Luca even made sure we were able to get our covid tests in a timely manner for our trip home. First class service from a first class operation. I can't wait to return to Italy and have Rome Private Excursions and Luca provide an amazing experience. Grazie!

We had a fabulous time on our excursion with Fabio.
Fabio is a safe and competent driver. He made great conversation with my wife.
His directions at each stop were very clear and helpful. We had never been to Sienna or San Gimignano before.
Now Sienna may be my wife’s favorite town in all of Italy.
The wine tasting at Tenuta Torciano was fun and relaxed.
All in all it was a wonderful experience.

We had an amazing tour of Siena, San Gimignano with a wine tasting at Tortiano winery. Our driver was very professional and filled us with fun facts throughout the day. He offered great suggestions for places to experience the local culture in each of the towns. It was a wonderful day and we left wanting to experience more. We will use this tour company again!

We really enjoyed our tour guides Giovanni (Johnny), Max and Luca. So much so that we wanted them to be on our trip with us versus our guides. They were knowledgeable, professional and always on time. Their vans were clean and comfortable - and most importantly, had cold AC. It’s a must during a Roman summer. If you want an easy ride with historical details, ask for Johnny. If you’re on a religious tour, Max is a plethora of information. Luca is a linguist that knows 6 languages. He’ll help you grow your Italian.

We did two tours with Rome Private Excursions. The first was the trip to wine country for a private wine tasting with the wine maker himself. Wow...I will never forget the experience. I was with my wife and 2 grown children, we all had a great time that day. Luca and his driver were very knowledgeable about everything the towns we stopped in as well as the castles we passed. It would not have been the same without having the private tour guide, well worth the money. We also did a private tour of the sites of Rome, too many to mention, This tour was custom to us, they called us the day before asked were we wanted to go and instead we told him where we had been and they designed the day around places we should see, rather than an out of the box tour. I can't recommend Luca and team at Rome Private Excursions any higher.

Fantastic day. Skip Siena and go straight to San Gimigiano. Beautiful medieval town. You need time to get a glass of wine and look out at the countryside. Wine tasting at Torciano with Leonardo was amazing. Get ready 9 full glasses of great wine. Finally ask for Manny as your guide, really nice and knowledgeable. 5 stars!

Luca was absolutely incredible on our wine tour from Rome. He took us to the best wineries in the area and made sure we had everything we needed at all times, also was extremely knowledgeable and was able to answer any questions we had. The van was also in great condition and extremely clean so it made for a smooth and pleasant transfer. Can’t say enough great things about this experience! Truly life changing!

I was on a cruise and did 3 tours with Private tours and loved them all. From Civitavecchia, we did Rome and a private tour of the Vatican. From Livorno, we did Volterra and San Gimignano and from Sorrento, we did the Amalfi Coast.
All of the drivers were exceptional drivers - I would highly recommend hiring a car/driver in Italy as the traffic laws are not well advertised and you run the risk of getting a ticket in the mail after your vacation if you drive yourself.
I had originally only booked 2 tours (Rome and Livorno) but enjoyed them so much that I added the Sorrento tour at the last minute. If I came back I would absolutely use them again.
