5.00Great way to travel through Rome if you are only there for one day. Alessandro was kind and courteous and was willing to make changes to make our itinerary suited to our needs.

Private tour to Rome from cruise terminal
Kris A,Jun 10, 2026

3.00Our driver was very nice and knew his way around the city to point out the main sites, but he didn’t speak English very well, only a few phrases/words, and the tour description said the guide would speak English. So it basically ended up being more of a taxi ride since there was a communication barrier. It was disappointing bc had he been able to speak English I’m sure we would have heard some interesting facts, history and maybe current events about Rome. We only had one day to see Rome bc we were on a cruise so this was why we picked a private guided tour, hoping to get more out of a tour like this, not less. I recommend you verify with your provider that they can speak fluent English if you want to book this experience.
Awesome day in Rome!

5.00We had the best day touring Rome with Titziana (apologies if misspelled.) She was so sweet, knowledgeable, and you could tell she genuinely wanted us to have a great experience. She was an absolute professional getting us to places we wanted to see, helping us skip lines so that we didn't miss our Colosseum time, and keeping us one schedule. The driver was great, too! He knew exactly where to park and how to get us as close as possible to the places we wanted to go. I would 100% recommend this tour! It is a great way to get the most "bang for your buck" with only one day to explore. Our group of 10 people had zero complaints!
A full day of seeing the sights of Rome with time to spare

5.00We booked two back to back 7 day cruises and hoped to use the day in port to check out Rome. We booked this tour hoping to see a couple of the main sights/sites in the city. Giorgio was outstanding as a driver and guide. He was waiting for us with a sign when we exited the ship a few minutes early and whisked us off to Rome. He explained the day of our tour there was to be a large military parade in Rome which would impact some main streets in the city and effectively close the Colosseum after 10AM so he suggested we start there before 10. We visited the outside and took some pictures but due to time constraints we passed on taking a full tour in favor of allowing Giorgio to show us more of the city. He had expert knowledge of the city and was able to use backstreets etc. to avoid traffic snarls. He showed us to the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon, St. Peter’s Square and Vatican City before driving us to the top of a hill in central Rome overlooking the city. There was also a beautiful 500 year old fountain dedicated to Pope Paul V there that was worth a picture. My wife mentioned being disappointed there was no outlet mall for here to go shopping in Rome but Giorgio volunteered to drive us about 25Km south of the city to the largest outlet mall In Italy where my wife was happy to spend a couple of hours shopping while I sampled a couple of locally produced beers. Giorgio patiently waited for us and drove us back to the port/ship with over an hour to spare ahead of our “all aboard” time. We crammed more into a single day of sightseeing/shopping than what most could accomplish is 2-3 days. Overall, a great way to spend a day getting acquainted with Rome.

4.00Friendly and knowledgeable driver. Only downside was I coordinated with the tour company 6 weeks prior to tour to see something outside of the normal tour and my wife mentioned it to the driver early on, but due to language barrier and lack of communication from the company to the driver it didn’t happen.
Excellent tour

5.00I booked this tour for 11 people on a recent trip. It was hands down the best tour I booked during our entire cruise. Our guide, Tiziana, ensured everything was seamless from meeting us at the port and continuing with the tour in Rome. The temperature in Rome was very hot and it was so convenient to have a private air conditioned van. Tiziana was incredible. She and Alberto (driver) were receptive to changes and updating our tour as needed to accommodate extra time spent at specific stops. She also recommended a restaurant for us to celebrate a milestone birthday and arranged for reservations. My family was absolutely thrilled with this experience and I would happily book this tour again (with a request for the same tour guide!)
Great tour, I wish we...

4.00Great tour, I wish we didn’t do the Vatican as it was a lot of walking and a ton of people and just too crowded to be fun. We even had a guided tour and the skip the line. The tour and driver was great, we loved the coliseum and Rome.
Comfortable tour with knowledgeable driver

5.00Our driver Francesco picked us up on time from our cruise ship. We were a family of 4 adults and 2 children and were given a comfortable drive into and around the Vatican and Rome. We could choose how long to spend at each location and Francesco would always be waiting in the designated spot. He was knowledgeable about the buildings and history of Rome . Would recommend this private tour.
Great day in Roma!

5.00George did a wonderful job of navigating us through town and showing us the highlights and monuments. He navigated the streets safely and like a pro. We had a wonderful time and still got to personalize the experience. Highly recommend!
