Two days of brilliance
Massai7,May 15, 2026

5.00We must say a very big thank you to Maria (our guide) and John (our driver) over our two day private tour of Rome. Maria, simply brilliant, the information and history she gave us was at times hard to process (so much of it). John our driver somehow always got us to wherever we needed to be before time and always managed a parking place to boot. Both were just lovely people to spend our two days with in Rome. Maria, really filled us in with information on the Colesseum, the Patheon, the Forum plus we saw the Spanish Steps, Trevi and some other ancient sites of Rome. All up worth every penny, when time is critical, you really do need people who know the ropes. Maria and John are definitely all of that, thank you so much for making our stay in Rome extremely memorable.

5.00Chris was a wonderful tour guide. He took us to the Coliseum, Vatican and St.Peter Basilica. Many stops in between and he was a wealth of knowledge. He recommended a fabulous restaurant and the food was delicious. We would highly recommend using Chris as your tour guide. Best tour ever.

5.00We arrived in Rome with six hours to spare before meeting up with friends later in the afternoon. We undertook a flexible overview of Rome visiting all the essential sites. Our host Michael was super, providing us with insight and tips and was fully engaged during our excursion. This provided us with confidence to plan our experience of Rome over the next 3 days. The total experience was beyond expectation.

5.00We had a wonderful time with Michael on both days. He was very accommodating and took great care to get us close and quick access to all the major sites. He showed us the best and most reasonable places to eat. We also enjoyed Mary and her knowledge of the Vatican. It was a treat to revisit for me and a wonderful experience for my daughters for the first time. We will always be sure to recommend and hopefully enjoy your services again!
Unforgettable Day in the Eternal City

5.00Pam and I would like to extend our deep appreciation for making our final day of our Mediterranean trip memorable. Claudio was fantastic. He was affable, engaged and attentive throughout. He gave us a genuine view of his Rome experiences. Clearly a valuable asset to your company. David, too, excelled. His energy and enthusiasm was infectious. His knowledge unmatched, IMO. Thoroughly enjoyed our time with him. We have friends traveling in the Spring and have referred them to you for any transportation and tour needs they may need while in Rome. The communication was phenomenal, the plan and timing perfect, and the price appropriate for the experience delivered. Could not have booked a more perfect day. Sincerely, Dr. Ken and Pam Farber

5.00I've used Rome Private Excursions several times and have recommended to friends. We have always been so impressed with the wonderful Mercedes van and the very knowledgeable driver/tour guide. Our driver in Rome was Salvatore and he was so knowledgeable about the city. And the most of important thing is he knew his way around the small streets to minimize our time in traffic. He took us to St Paul's cathedral which we didn't even know about and it was the highlight of our Rome visit. Also, Rome Privite Excursions took us around Naples and again we had a fantastic driver, Rafeal. He was the best tour guide as he got us to Herculaneum and the Naples Museum of Archeology and gave us lots of valuable information along the way. Thanks Luca!
