Horrible Experience
Steve W,Jun 28, 2026
- Review from Viator
1.00Terrible experience. Basically spent $600 for a ride to Rome and Back. All the rest was on our own with zero information. When booking this “tour” while it says self guided it leads you to believe there is much more than just a drop off and pick up. Last minute the guide changed the stop off and pick up point which created a lot of confusion within the group. One lady missed a tour because of the last minute change. If you want to go to stone to check out the sites on your own I would suggest a simple Chat GPT generated itinerary as it looks like that’s how this was put together.
Rome was so exciting

5.00Rome was so exciting! We visited famous places like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and Spanish Steps. The guide gave us time to walk, take pictures, and eat lunch. I liked how we didn’t feel rushed.
Everything was easy

5.00We chose the option with the Vatican, and I’m so glad we did. The Sistine Chapel was amazing! Our guide was very helpful and made sure we had time to take photos and rest. The bus picked us up and brought us back with no problem. Everything was easy.
It was a day full of “wow” moments.

5.00It was perfect because it gave us a little bit of everything , ancient sites, churches, fountains, and some shopping time! The guide helped us skip long lines and gave amazing recommendations for lunch. We sat near Piazza Navona with pasta and wine in hand, soaking in the atmosphere. Rome is magical, and this tour helped us see it all in just one day.
Highly recommend

5.00Rome in one day? Yes, it’s possible ,and this tour made it easy! We saw the Vatican, the Colosseum, and even had a coffee near the Pantheon. The guide knew all the shortcuts and best spots. It was a full day but so worth it!
A Nice Overview of Major Sights in Rome, but Overpriced for an Old Van
Diana L,Jun 20, 2025

3.00The tour guide and driver were nice people and good at their jobs. The issue was the van was old and the A/C did not work well on a hot day in Rome. For the price we paid, it should have been a luxury, well functioning vehicle. The company overcharged in my opinion for a semi-private tour. For a much lower price we got a private tour van with a different company the next day to Florence. The tour itself though was very good. Elizabeth is an experienced guide who showed us “insider” shortcuts to get in to see the crowded major attractions in Rome and shared wonderful stories about the history of the city, the Vatican etc. We even got to see the Pope (from far away, but live)! We had two seniors who could not walk far or very quickly in the heat, so this was not a good tour for them.
