- 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
- E4885LYlisat0 contributionsDON'T WAIT BOOK YOUR TOUR WITH ROME PRIVATE EXCURSIONS 5 STARI 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.Written December 3, 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.

Had a great pre-cruise tour of Rome. Our driver was born in Rome and had a detailed knowledge of the city and the sites we wanted to see. The vehicle was extremely clean. He kept our luggage and took us right to our ship and I definitely give the tour five stars.

On my recent pre- cruise tour of Rome with my family. Christiano was our driver and tour guide. Christiano was always punctual, very knowledgeable, and overall extremely professional. We were traveling with 2 small children and he was very accommodating to our needs. I would recommend Christiano to anyone traveling to Rome. He is the best.

I booked our private tour with a private driver through Rome Private Excursions. It was the best decision I made. It was very reasonably priced and we saw a lot. Our driver was very well educated on the history and explained everting to us so well. His name was Big Angel, he was on time and we felt so comfortable with him. Thank you so much and we highly recommend this tour company.

My parents, daughter and I had a great experience touring Rome with Manny on May 21. We saw some of the major sites and a couple of hidden gems as well. The van was comfortable, and we made frequent stops that felt easy even in a jet lagged state. Manny was one of our favorite tour guides ever. He is positive, fun, flexible and accommodating, and overall extremely socially skilled. We felt great about our tour. Thank you, Manny and company!

We had a driver for transport, and he was awesome. Gave us history of the city, and was a great experience. We were picked up from the airport with a sign with our name, and he also took us to the cruise ship three days later. He was early, loaded the bags, polite, and made the trip very smooth. We will use them again when we go back.

Thanks to the amazing communication before our tour and our drivers, Max and Antonio, we were able to visit the 3 major sights our group of 10 wanted to see and get a wonderful Italian lunch! Our personal tour guide Maria was phenomenal and we were able to get through Vatican City. She was able to give us so much information as we walked through this beautiful location. We highly recommended this tour company! We use them again when we are in Florence next week and we can not wait!!

We had a wonderful experience with Big Angel! He was so nice, helpful and knowledgeable. Grateful for your company answering the office phone when my phone lost power and my friend called and had you let Big Angel know we were ready to be picked up at the colosseum! Looking forward to you all picking us up from the port and bringing us to the airport.
Thank you!
Thank you!

We arrived in Rome Saturday morning and were picked up by Manny! He's awesome. We visited the so many wonderful sights around Rome and Manny was very knowledgeable. He then took us to the port so that we could board the Star Clipper.

On a scale of one to five, I would rate Rome Private Excursions a ten! My husband and I had only one day and a very tight schedule to visit Rome before boarding our cruise ship, so we weren’t optimistic that we could make it happen. I found Rome Private Excursions via a google search and began corresponding with Luca. After several emails back and forth, Luca made the impossible happen to create a tour that worked within our time constraints. Our private tour guide, Fausto, was absolutely incredible! He was thoughtful, kind and so knowledgeable of Rome. He wasn’t a tour guide, within moments, he became a friend. Fausto’s pride and enthusiasm for the city was infectious. Fausto is a native of Rome so we were able to get a glimpse of his neighborhood, culture and heritage which was so much more than we ever expected to experience. RPE also arranged a private tour for us of the Vatican that was indescribable. I wish I had the name of the Vatican tour guide that RPE arranged for us because he was also incredible! RPE far surpassed our expectations and worth every penny we spent!
