Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 845sarag0 contributionsAmazing Rome experience!I’m so happy we booked our Tour of Rome with Rome city tours. Our tour guide Francesco was amazing. He was so knowledgeable, warm and friendly! We got to see so much more than we thought and had some amazing gelato too! From the moment the tour started until the end we knew that our guide, Francesco loved his city knew so much about it, and was excited to share it with us! We learned so much about Ancient Rome, Italian history and also things that are currently going on in the city! I highly recommend this tour if you’re visiting Rome!Written November 10, 2024
- simonbY2655XJ0 contributionsGreat 2 day tourWonderful tour, were well structured with a very knowledgeable guide We got the best of Rome in 2 days It was as great as NOT overwhelming due to the paceWritten April 22, 2024

- Kellie_Morle0 contributionsMemorable Pompeii & HerculaneumWe did a day tour to Pompeii and Herculaneum from Rome. Our guide Lello was animated, knowledgeable and lovely. He brought the two cities to life for us. We have teenagers and he pitched his commentary to suit my husband and myself, as well as the kids. It was a big day, more than 12 hours and it was expensive but absolutely worth it and I would do it again. We got so much out of it. The knowledge I now have about both places will stay with me forever. Wonderful memories. We also had lunch at a winery above Naples. At Cantina del Vesuvio. The view, the food, the wine, was perfect. The sun shone for us all day too. Excellente!Written December 12, 2019
- MiLaFor0 contributionsPerfect last minute vendor for Rome Colosseum and Roman Forum/Palatine Hillthe most important thing about booking with this company is that they are legit. I was very concerned, since i saw the line and it was hundreds of people long. I found this company online, purchased my tickets. Then i contacted them via the whatsapp link, and they sent them to me within the time period requested. A real person!!! Highly recommend, mostly because you can trust them.Written December 10, 2019

- figueroachan0 contributionsGreat private tourOur family of 6 was very happy and satisfied with the private tours provided by our guides Massimilliano and Christina. They were both very professional and knowledgeable. There was a lot of walking involved but overall a very good and enjoyable experience. There os no private transportation included so you have to know your way and get to the meeting place. From there, the guide will be leading the tour around.Written August 7, 2019

Our 15 year old grand daughter was amazed by the sites and explanation given by Romina as were we. The tour agency was very good at followup to make sure all went as planedWritten August 7, 2019
- Bruce R0 contributionsAmazing Tour of RomeOur guide, Claudia, was amazing. She went at the pace we requested, was a wealth of knowledge and you could see her love for her city during the guide. My mother was with us and she has some mobility issues and Claudia was very sensitive to her mobility issues. The experience we had from the drivers waiting for us, driving us to our guide, the tour itself and the drive back were all top notch! I cannot recommend Rome City Tours enough!!Written July 30, 2019

We were coming to Rome for a very quick trip and wanted to cram everything into one day. We mapped out a 4 hour walking tour to hit all the sites, but otherwise gave no direction. We met Maria the day of our tour and were instantly entranced in her love of the city’s history and ease and excitement of relating it to us! We felt so connected! And while we saw almost everything possible in ONE day, Maria somehow never made it feel rushed and we were still able to experience the romance of the city despite the packed schedule. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend this tour as a MUST for everyone! Thank you again, Maria, for a wonderful day!!

This was an amazing four hour walking tour with a super informative guide, ours was Angelica. This tour allows you to see practically everything you want to see and more. We were able to see locations not even on our list.

After being a part of tours with 30+ people, we were so happy to have booked this private tour and have a more personalized experienced. Our tour guide Thomas was fantastic! He was funny, friendly, and very knowledgeable. He asked us what we had already seen and took us through places that are hidden gems in Rome. Would definitely recommend this experience to anyone looking to explore Rome and hear about the history!

Decided to book a private guide and Thomas was a perfect fit. He is an archeologist who does a few tours on the side. His passion for all the history of the buildings, city of Rome and world impact of the Roman Empire kept the tour very interesting. It felt more like a friend showing us the sights. Highly recommend the company and Thomas.
