This was a fantastic tour. Andrea communicated with us and was waiting with a beautiful clean car for us at the airport. He took us on a Rome highlights tour catered to us and what we wanted to see. He surprised us with some additional spots also. No tourist traps or souvenir shopping, just Rome sights with great history and descriptions given by Andrea. We went to St Paul outside the walls, the forum, the circus Maximus, Pallentine hill, the view of St. Peter’s through the knights of Malta keyhole (a wonderful add in he gave us), City Hall, an ancient condo complex, St Agnes in Agony and it’s wonderful piazza, Trevi fountain, Spanish Steps and the Colloseum. The tour ended with a drop off at our hotel. It was a 5 star private tour in a 5 star car with a 5 star guide. I highly recommend.

We communicated with Alessandro prior to arriving in Rome & he scheduled our days for the week we were going to be there. He listened to what we were hoping to get out of our trip since it was our first visit to Rome & planned everything perfectly. We saw all the major sights mixing in wineries and even a day meeting family in Amaseno. He scheduled our tours of the Vatican & museum, the Borghese Gallery, the Coliseum, etc with no or very little wait times. We ate at some great out of the way restaurants & saw a bit of the country side in addition to city center. He took the stress out of planning such an overwhelming trip & we enjoyed every minute of it. We consider Alessandro part of the family & cannot say enough good things about our experience. We will definitely use him again when we return.

This was an awesome tour! Our guide and driver, Daniele, picked us up at our hotel on time and took us around Rome for 8 hours. Super informative and professional, and accommodating to our interests. We had already completed a shorter tour of Rome the day before so Daniele took us to hidden gems in the city we had not heard of before. He also accommodated our lunch schedule, driving us across town for a restaurant we wanted to try. I would highly recommend this tour service!
