        Great day. Our guide Massimo and driver Andrew where great! Taking us through the sites Massimo gave us a wealth of information and brought to many special points which gave the best views for photos. This is a great tour and you get very personalized service.

        Worst tour I’ve ever had.
        Nicole_S, Jun 2023
        This was by far the worst tour we had in Europe. Do not book this tour. So many bad things I don’t have room here for them all. The guide was not equipped to answer questions. She promised things and didn’t follow through. Our driver did driver jobs between our stops so wasn’t available to us. We couldn’t leave things in the car. I think we entered the Vatican with some crazy brokered tickets. The guide wouldn’t allow us to get audio guides. When I asked her if we could step into the shade and remarked that we are “weak” she said “yes, you are”. The lunch included in the tour was disgusting. We had no ability to order our own food. We paid a lot of money for the tour and did not get what we paid for. We did not have skip the line tickets to get inside the Colosseum despite it being promised in the viator description. The tickets for the Vatican were very shady. We had to wait for some sort of broker to arrive. Then we were told not to identify our guide as a guide inside and she kept farting away from us. Finally, we were supposed to have 8 on our tour but luckily only had 7. No way the transportation would have comfortably held 8 adults. I can’t say enough bad things about this tour.

        Dear Ms France Thank you for your review. Regarding your comments, we would like to point out the following: We apologise that the guide did not meet your expectations, we could never have imagined that such an experienced guide, could make such mistakes. -As you can see from TripAdvisor, the above is an isolated incident. Our agency enjoys excellent reviews for its services and was awarded a certificate of excellence during 2018. Nevertheless, we apologise for the incident. -The car was an 8 seater Mono DeLuxe + driver, had it been a 7 seater, the guide would not have been able to board with you. It was available for pick up and drop off at the port of Civitavecchia and for transfer from site to site as specified on the website. For safety reasons, no personal items could be left in the car. -Unfortunately, on combined tours, for reasons of time, lunch is a set menu, a first course, a second course and a side dish, water. We also took care of the drinks you consumed extra, which were not included. The restaurant is a typical Roman eatery and usually no one complains but we will take note of it anyway. - We had had a conversation via whatsapp messages at the time of booking, in which we warned you that the Colosseum skip-the-line entrance tickets had run out and that you could buy them on the day of the tour by standing in line, you agreed. Unfortunately, due to the large influx of visitors that morning, there were no more available, but we still managed to buy tickets for the Forum and Palatine. You write, that some of you needed shade, unfortunately the Roman Forum is outdoors. For the entrance to the Vatican Museums, you were informed that you would enter as a group but with a personal guide inside and you accepted. The one you call 'Broker' is the same colleague of ours who gave you the money back at the restaurant for the extras and she was the one who had the entrance tickets, in fact, that morning we had several groups entering at the same time and she was there to co-ordinate the entries. The tickets were absolutely in order, subject to very strict controls by means of barcode scanners. For this inconvenience, we offered you, at the time of booking, an overview of the most beautiful squares and fountains in Rome by car, even if you then decided to only see the Trevi Fountain because you were too tired. -We will still make a partial refund for these reasons. We hope to have the opportunity, in the future, to prove to you that our tours remain among the most popular with customers in the city of Rome. Carlo

        Our tour guide was kind and efficient. They provided 2 Benz vans for private transportation. I would recommend this company!
