We had only one day to spend in Rome and wanted to see all the major sites in that little time frame. The tour guide we had - Max Parini- made this one amazing tour of Rome. It was done with such ease. We never felt like we were in a crowd and never waited in a queue. His knowledge and expert ability of getting around Rome and knowing best times to see the major sites made our tour. His English is excellent and he knew practically everyone at the sites. Highly recommend!!

Had a wonderful time seeing Rome with our tour guide, Marco. He was very informative, personable, and great sense of humor. It may not be possible to see all of Rome in a day, but you’re going to get your money’s worth on this tour! Highly recommend. Definitely a highlight of our vacation!

The Capitaline Museums, located on Capitaline Hill, lays claim to one of the finest collections of ancient sculpture in Rome. My DIY tour had me meandering through the museum's various buildings, 2 of which were designed by Michelangelo. Most of the buildings housed a 'major in' sculpture and a 'minor in' art galleries with collections closely linked to the ancient city of Rome. My favorite exhibit was the 'She Wolf' a major symbol of Rome. I browsed the gift shop chucked full of guidebooks and I did relish the Museum's rooftop restaurant with it's fine view over the city. A great option to explore the ancient city of Rome.

It was a bitter sweet trip for me because it was our 50th wedding anniversary gift from our son, but my husband passed away in April....Max, the owner was aware and made our trip so special. He is the best tour guide we ever had. He's extremely personable, knowledgeable, kind and amusing. Also an excellent driver. We saw so much in a day, everything on our tour that was listed and then some. It was extremely hot but he went and got the car so we didn't have to walk in the heat. I would highly recommend Max and his company.

The tour led by a wonderful young man, "Yisroel" was informative, fun very educational. I would highly recommend him if you are looking to learn and enjoy yourself at the same time

My husband and I had planned an amazing Mediterranean cruise. However, we were disappointed with the Rome shore excursions offered through the cruise line since we would have had to choose between visiting the Colosseum or the Vatican. That dissatisfaction led to us looking for alternatives and we happened across Italy Rome Tours. We contacted them for more information and we decided to book a private tour. It was the best decision! The booking process was fast and the communication was great. When we arrived at the port, our driver was waiting for us with a beautiful Mercedes van. He talked about the history of the region as we drove into Rome. The first stop was a park that gave an amazing view of the city and the Vatican. We were able to visit the Pantheon, the Spanish steps, and Trevi fountain. We then headed to the Colosseum where a private tour guide was waiting to take us inside. We walked straight past all the lines and our tour guide described the history and myths of this amazing place. We then headed to the Vatican. Our private tour guide again walked us past the lines and highlighted pieces of art in the museums as we headed to the Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica. We then headed back to Civitavecchia where we stopped for gelato before arriving back at our ship. To be able to see all of these amazing sites in a single day from Civitavecchia with friendly and reliable guides... I simply can't express enough how incredible this day was. This tour was absolutely the highlight of our entire cruise. I am so glad we didn't settle with one of the shore excursions offered through the cruise lines. I would rebook with Italy Rome Tour in a heart beat if/when we return to Italy and I would not hesitate to refer a friend of family member to them.

Fantastic tour for our family of 5. Max is a knowledgable & fabulous tour guide. You can tell he loves what he does. We had such an incredible all day tour of Catacombs, Colosseum and Vatican. Our lunch spot was perfect as well! I would highly recommend any tour with Max.

Absolutely amazing and worth it. Max was our driver and guide. He was an endless fount of knowledge and extremely efficient and energetic guide for us all day. With this kind of tour, you can just relax knowing someone else has taken care of all the details and logistics. We saw catacombs, Coliseum, Vatican museums / St Peters basilica, and drove by circus maximus, overlooked the forum. Max knows all the best places to take the best photos or have the best views. Not a single minute spent standing in line. Everything was perfectly timed. He's been doing this for 23 years and it shows (in a good way). I would absolutely do it again this way, it was worth every penny.

Marco made it a very special day. He drove us to all important sites, talked about history of Rome, and found us a perfect restaurant for lunch.

We had a private tour organised by our hotel of The Gallery, private apartments and gardens of the Palazzo. Our tour English tour guide was called Rebecca Harden and was without doubt the best guide we have ever encountered. She was so knowledgeable and passionate about the history of not only the paintings but the context of their importance in the history of Rome. A truly vivacious and inspiring tour would highly recommend her.

Oh Tuscany, how I love you. The wine and food pairings were amazing. The wines served were fantastic. Yes, I brought some home. Cannot wait to return!

My parents, brother, sister and I went on the Supreme Rome Tour with Max as our guide. I've been on a lot our good tours with excellent tour guides but Max is definitely they best best that I have encountered. He arrived at our place early and greeted us like old friends! We started at the Vatican museums and Max surprised us with breakfast at the Vatican, which was not included in the tour we booked. It was a great start to the tour and gave us time to get to know each other. Max went above and beyond with my 80 year old parents. Never rushing us and always there to help them out. Max's knowledge of all things Rome was very impressive and he seemed to know everyone we encountered along the way. Each stop was loaded with great information about each place. We ended the 10 hour tour at the Colosseum, with another informative visit before he returned us our apartment. Max also gave us some great restaurant and gelato suggestions, that turned out to be our best meals of the trip! Max truely loves what he does and goes out of his way to share his city with you. Please don't hesitate in booking Max and his company, you will not be disappointed!!

Max was wonderful! Very informative, funny and kind. We truly enjoyed the time and the three hours went by so quickly. Thank you, Max for a perfect day at Vatican City!

I booked this experience for my daughter and her family as a Christmas gift on their trip to Italy. They thought Max was fantastic!! They booked another excursion with a different company and were disappointed after having Max as their guide for the Vatican Museums. All the 5 star reviews are accurate. I would book with Italy Rome Tour again!!

Our favorite part of this tour was the one on one, very personal. We could ask questions and Max had the answers. He was very knowledgeable and personable. He was very considerate about our safety and parked in areas close to the attractions so we didn’t have to walk far.
