    DON'T WAIT BOOK YOUR TOUR WITH ROME PRIVATE EXCURSIONS 5 STAR
    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.

    A Must for Catholics interested in their faith
    Max 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!!

    GREAT EXPERIENCE
    Everything 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! Jim & Karen McKenna

    Transfer from Rome City center to the airport
    We 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 !!!

    Fantastic 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.

    Walking tour of Florence
    Walking 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!

    If 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!!!!

    Rome in a day
    We 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.

    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!

    The 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.

    Private Excursion to Assisi
    Our 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.

Our guide, Manny, was simply amazing. We were able to see all of Rome's highlights in a single day. Manny took us to some sights off the beaten path that were incredible that we would have never known about on our own. He had great recommendations for food, shopping and was a true historian with a love for his city and people.

We could not have asked for anything more!

This was a most beautiful tour! Guide Luca was considerate and knowledgeable, Allowed us to see the sights we wanted and considered our special needs as to walking. It was the perfect end to our cruise with him meeting us at the port at the time we chose and returning us safely to our hotel. We could not have been happier with his service. Highly recommend .

We were a family of five, retiree parents with 3 adult kids.
Sal, our driver guide was absolutely wonderful and so knowledgeable of the area and able to answer our questions. He added on some wonderful unexpected stops. Sal worked with us to tweak our schedule as the traffic and crowds became increased. He provided delicious , fun spots for lunch and gelato too!
Our vatican guide, Stephanie, was a wealth of information and shared so much. She gave us a perfect amount of time in the Vatican.
We highly recommend them both and Rome Private Excursions.

Are you looking for a GREAT tour at the end of your cruise? Then book with Rome Private Excursions!

From the start of our planning process the company is a dream to work with. I got responses to all my email questions. Then we got confirmation and reminder email all the way up to our pick up date.

Angelo arrived at the port early and we were on our way to seeing EVERYTHING on our list in Rome. He even took us to a wonderful local restaurant for lunch.

Angelo was a perfect guide. Gave us information on each stop and he would drop us close by, so less walking in the hot August weather.

Be sure to book early!

We had a wonderful experience using Rome Private Excursion service. The private tour is definitely the way to go to explore the destination. Our driver was very friendly, flexible and spoke fluent English. We also had a private tour guide for Vatican city. She was absolutely amazing. She was very knowledgeable about the history and the artifacts. It was a great way to end our 10 day journey in Europe.

We used RPE for a post-cruise full day tour of Rome. Our guide was John and he was fantastic! He genuinely loves the history of Rome and enjoys sharing it. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed spending the day with him and learning so much. We managed to see the Roman Forum, the Baths, the Colosseum, Circus Maximus, Caesar's Palace, St. Peter's, a part of the Vatican Museum, the Sistine Chapel, the Victor Emmanuel Moment II and the Pantheon. We had seen Trevi, the Tiber, the Spanish Steps and the Crypt of the Capuchin Monks on our own the day before of he would likely include some of that too! He even suggested an off the beaten path, family owned restaurant for lunch that was affordable and absolutely delicious!!

We did hire Lucia as our private Vatican tour guide - WORTH THE MONEY. There's no way we would have a.) learned as much or b.) had nearly enough time at the Vatican without her. She was a wealth of information and was SO, SO kind and friendly with our kids (two boys, ages 4 and 5). She made an otherwise possibly boring stop for the kiddos engaging and fun by pretending they were in a James Bond movie.

Rome Private Excursions provided us with the most enjoyable tour guide we could have hoped for! John was prompt in picking us up from the Civitavecchia port on Sunday, May 12, 2019. He told us very interesting facts while driving through the Chianti region into Rome, including why we should never order steak from a restaurant. (The cows get too much exercise, being free-roaming, therefore their meat has very little fat. Without the marbling, steaks tend to be tough). His van was comfortable and he was an expert driver.

John made sure we saw everything promised, plus some. He did not rush us. He was so knowledgable about each and every stop, and had a story for the places we just drove by, also. He took us to a cafe and treated us to espresso and pastries then later on, to a very nice restaurant for lunch.

After the 9 hour tour, John drove my husband and me to our rented apartment, and our friends, to their hotel. John used his phone to call the landlord for me and waited with us until she brought us the key. He helped with our luggage and translating. His English was perfect and his pleasant personality was an added plus.

There aren't enough nice things to say about the professionalism that John exhibited that day. If we return to Rome, we would enjoy hiring him again. In the meantime, I will recommend Rome Private Excursions and John to my friends and family. An added bonus: no payment was required until the end of our tour. Pay in euros and there's no extra credit card or exchange fee, either!

Carlo our tour guide was amazing. His knowledge and experience were at a level of a PhD in history. We could not have asked for a better Roman to educate us on this amazing city. He should be considered a cultural icon.
