Customized, bespoke and Well Paced Tour

Robert_T, Mar 2024

Outstanding and detailed highlights tour of Ancient Rome - filled with highly interesting details about the area, with lots of added stops and flexibility. We were lucky to have Angelo from Rome Private Excursions provide our transport in his beautiful Mercedes Van. He was so warm to both my children (11 & 9 years old). The day was completely customized so we didn’t double track from our prior tours and excursions. Angelo provided multiple options and made sure every one of our requests were achieved (and in every instance exceeded). If you want an in depth, well paced and extensive tour of both highlights and hidden gems of Rome - book now. You will not regret it.

Awesome Tour and Tour Guide!!

What a wonderful tour! Alex was friendly, helpful and had great knowledge of Rome. I would highly recommend this tour.

Wow!

Great Way to See Rome in A Day

Dillon D, Jun 2019

I cannot recommend this tour enough to people who are short on time but want to see a lot of Rome. Our driver, Fausto, did a great job giving us background on each site that we saw while also making the experience personal and fun.

I agonized for along time whether to book this tour for fear of the unknown. Any doubts were totally unfounded. This was an excellent experience for my quite mobile 85 year-old Mother and me. Our driver/guide, Massimo Max, was extraordinary in every way!!! He arrived at our hotel early. His lovely Mercedes mini van was very comfortable. His knowledge of ROME history - both ancient and current, places, art, religion, everything!, was amazing and so interesting. We expressed an interest in Bernini statues as well as beautiful churches - and he drove us to many beautiful sites, explaining what was unique about them along the way. We also enjoyed ancient Rome, views of the Forum, etc. The only disappointment I can think of was that the 7 hours went so quickly and we had to say goodbye to Max. He returned us to our hotel, but upon hearing that we would be taking a taxi to go to Piazza Navona and the Pantheon on our own, he drove us and dropped us off at the Piazza with more explanations along the way. I can not say enough about our experience and Max our extraordinary driver/guide. One additional plus: Max was educated in the United States and has dual citizenship so he is very easy for Americans to understand. THANK YOU for memories that we will savor always! The absolute best experience!

Yvonne_D, Sep 2017

This was an amazing experience with an amazing guide sorry I cannot recall his name - such a shame I have misplaced it. Because we were taking this tour in mid August, the streets of Rome were pretty quiet and we were able to get around with ease. Our driver was able to take us places he said he would not have been able to reach at other times of the year. The vehicle was safe, cool and very comfortable. There were 4 adults travelling and some had mobility challenges and all of us move slower than when we were younger. Our driver was patient and very accommodating. I would highly recommend this private tour! The only way to go!!

lindajelonek, Jun 2017

One of 2 best tours of trip. We were 15 minutes late getting to the guest house in Rome from the ship. Call the company and they were very nice. Said they would call our driver/guide Josef and he would wait for us. When we got to the guest house, Josef was waiting and it was a good thing. We would not have found the guest house inside a courtyard and not very well marked. And no one answered the buzzer. Josef called and they said check in was not for an hour, but they would come check us in. Once we checked in and put our luggage in the room, we were off. Josef asked what we wanted to see, explained what we could not Catholic holiday so no Vatican city and what we could in the time allotted. Then he drove us to all the highlights--pantheon, Colosseum he had the tickets for us so we went straight in, Circus Maximus and the Forum, the Trevi Fountain, the Spanish steps and the Borghese Villa and gardens. At each stop, he would take us to a convenient place and explain the history and construction of the monuments. He had a wonderful book that showed what they looked like in Roman times and now. Then he would explain the meeting time and location and let us explore on our own for a while. Josef was very knowledgeable and helpful. We got to see everything we wanted except the Sistine Chapel and St Peter's Basilica because of the Catholic holiday. Could not have seen all that without Josef and his van. Can't rate and recommend this tour hightly enough.

Excellent guide. Very informative...

John G, Jul 2016

Excellent guide. Very informative! He kept my two teenage daughters interested and that was amazing. Worth the money for sure?

Superbe expérience

Une journée parfaite :) notre guide et chauffeur Salvatore nous a fait découvrir Rome tout en nous racontant son histoire dans les moindres détails. Un très beau voyage dans le temps !
