Amazing experience and best tour guide! Emanuelle was outstanding. Places were very well explained and he even played the right music before arriving somewhere.

Emanuele might actually be the best driver in Rome. Seriously, the guy has skills like no one else. He knows everything about the city. He is so nice to be with, and made our crazy one day in Rome experience something we will always remember. If you are doing this trip ask for Emanuele. Trust me, you won't regret it!

1. Driver was rude. yelled about snacks in vehicle even when not eating 2. guide was incompetent. had no knowledge of tour companies, starting points, didn't read ticket rules on paper, took us to wrong location for both tours, had to walk (and had 2 people have issues with steps) and ask directions on the way. 2nd tour we completely missed..were not even there at the time for colostrum tour Were told had to get private tour or self guided tour. Then told our colostrum time of 3:45 assigned for 1:50 tour was too late and we had to leave at 4 instead of 4 instead of 4:30. finally got in at 3:30 and rushed out at 4 without elders

“Cruising Rome” was a wonderful way to view this city with so many sites worth seeing. Our tour guide, Giorgio, was wonderful…taking us to so many places, including overlooks that I didn’t know existed. I’ve been to Rome many times, but my family has not. He made this excursion so amazing for everyone! Thank you Giorgio!

Marco was excellent. Ours was a very last minute booking but we still saw most places in Rome. The tour did not mention seeing colosseum from the inside but when I asked the tour company they arranged the tickets for us. Marco was very organized and showed us all the places near the colosseum first before heading over to Vatican. He was always on time for pick up. He has a great sense of humor as well.
