LIMITED MOBILITY Ancient Rome area and Vatican Museums visits involve SIGNIFICANT WALKING. The Roman Forum and Palatine surfaces are uneven, but a considerable portion of the area has wheelchair paths. Please note that the pathway from the Sistine Chapel to St Peter’s Basilica has 50 steps downwards and is not wheelchair accessible. The tour can continue to the Basilica only if all members of your private group can walk down the stairs, but, for safety reasons, it is not possible to carry wheelchairs and walkers down the stairs. If your private group includes participants with reduced mobility, we can still bring you to the Basilica, going back to the Museum's entrance and reaching it from the outside with the car. Although there is a dedicated pathway for wheelchairs, please be aware that there may be a queue to enter the Basilica. Also, note that other participants in your group will have to take charge of pushing the wheelchair.

VATICAN IS CLOSED ON SUNDAYS (and religious holidays). Due to the Wow Tour's high request, we designed a Sunday experience when the Vatican is closed. With your guide, and your driver you will explore St. Peter's Square, Castel Sant' Angelo area and other marvelous sites like the Aventine hill; from its top, you enjoy spectacular views over the city. As an alternative we will prospose other museums or arcaeological sites!

Like wheelchairs and walkers, strollers are not allowed in the passage from the Sistine Chape directly to the Basilica ( 50 steps downward ). Your private tour will end without the Basilica visit.

Great day

Sherry_R, Apr 2024

Vatican tour was unbelievable . Robert was excellent able to answer any question and proceeded at our pace (slow with bad knees).Would definitely recommend the tour to others

Worth every penny

Susan_P, Apr 2024

We had a wonderful time with Eddie! Marina promptly picked us up at our hotel in the morning and took us to meet our guide Eddie for a full day of touring the highlights of Rome. Eddie had so much information to share with us and he knew the best spots to go. There was so much to see and learn, we just wish we had more time. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone, and we would love to return to Rome one day to continue our explorations.

Perfect 1-Day Tour in Rome

Todd_W, Apr 2024

Absolutely wonderful tour. Our guide and driver were great. Our guide was so knowledgeable with 30 years of experience. She made sure we saw everything we wanted to see (and more), gave us great information at all times and was able to answer any question we had. Great lunch included as well. She also made sure we never waited more than 10 minutes in any lines! I’d highly recommend this tour!

Great way to see Rome in a day!

Anne_M, Apr 2024

Personal driver was great to get from place to place. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable on everything. She was able to get us through lines quickly & knew the fastest routes. Would definitely do it again.

Best way to see Rome!!!

Seek4801, Apr 2024

The guide Daniel and are driver Ramon were excellent. Daniel was extremely knowledgeable and thorough with his description of the sites. His ability to help us imagine what Rome looked like in the past makes him a one of a kind guide. His past experience match him perfectly to this position. Ramon was very friendly and knew his way to each site and knew all of the shortcuts to keep us on time. They make a great team! Our only suggestion is maybe a earphone/ speaker system. With the crowded areas it was sometimes hard to hear. Would recommend this tour to everyone who wants to see the important sites in a limited time frame. Would definitely book with this company again. Grazie

The best way to Rome!

Mark_B, Apr 2024

The tour was amazing. By far the most convenient way to see the important sites of the city and learn about why they are so important. Both Andrea's were friendly & professional. I have no idea how our driver was able to navigate the streets so easily, despite being tight & congested, made it through seamlessly and pointed out a few important buildings while we were on our way to pick up our tour guide. Andrea our tour guide was exceptionally knowledgeable and helped us find the most important parts of the Vatican, Coliseum & all sites we stopped at, detailing the background of them superbly. Lunch was good - the pacing of the tour was great - and Andrea kept us informed at all times of the process for getting in & out of buildings (Skip the Line tickets still require you to pass through security lines and have ID checked for obvious reasons), while taking some great pictures of us as a family, as well as recreating a picture of my wife from her last visit to Rome over 20 years prior. We also received great recommendations for places to eat during the rest of our stay. Completely worth the price!

Outstanding experience!

Kathryn_H, Apr 2024

Luca was an amazing guide! We saw everything we wanted to see. The driver effortlessly moved us from site to site, while Luca expertly informed us of all we encountered. Well worth it!

Fabulous!

Melinda_D, Apr 2024

Absolutely fabulous! Robert was a fantastic guide!!!!! We saw everything we wanted to see! Going with a guide that knew so much history.

Great tour to see the top Rome sites

Debbie_N, Apr 2024

This tour was a great way to experience a lot of Rome’s top sites all in a day! The pacing of the tour was well done. We saw so much in a day, but didn’t feel completely spent at the end. Our tour guide Robert was very knowledgeable and tailored the tour to highlight our interests. It was also very convenient to have Alessia as our own personal driver to get us quickly from site to site. I would highly recommend this tour!

What an amazing way to see so much beauty in a day! Absolutely brilliant tour.!

Lynn_S, Apr 2024

What a way to see Rome in a day! Can't recommend enough! Andrea (Andy) our guide and Andrea our driver gave us an amazing day. Mom is in a wheelchair and they took such wonderful care of her planning around accessibility and we didn't miss a thing. It was priceless for her to see her grandkids discover Rome for the first time and was everything we hoped. Andy also tailored the details and kept 2 teenagers completely entertained. The front of the line access was such a treat and we really missed many of the crowds. So much behind the scenes effort to get us right up close to things and be ready for us as soon as it was time to move. The even squeezed in an amazing gelato stop for us. Such knowledge, kindness, and truly 2 warm and kind fellows. We were spoiled rotten and would do it again in a heartbeat. Wish I had more than 2 thumbs because I'd put them all up :). If you're on the fence - book it!

Great Overall Experience

Melissa_F, Mar 2024

Robert was exceptionally professional and knowledgeable. Our driver was fabulous, as well. Everything was well planned, so we didnt need to wait in the long lines. We would definitely do this same all day private tour, again!

The visit to the Coliseum was amazing. What made it even better was having access with a tour guide and not being stuck with all the other people.

Luxury and attention

Jesse_F, Oct 2023

Eddie and Romono were amazing. We had an awesome day, and they arranged anything we wanted. We felt like rock stars.

Great way to spend the day if your in Rome for a short visit

Shayne_C, Oct 2023

Private driver and a tour guide skipping the line at major attractions what more could you ask for. Our driver was on time, was disappointed that the van only sat 6 people in the back so one person had to sit up front with the driver and tour guide but we made the best of it. ( where booked in advance for 7 people) Truly was skip the line and our guide really knew her way around

We loved Eddie

Wendy_S, Oct 2023

Colosseum Vatican Basilica All very informative Eddie was knowledgeable and friendly we loved him Would do it again for sure
