We went on a wonderful 2 hour excursion of Rome by Night. It was so lovely to see all the sights of Rome by evening light. Angelo picked us up at our hotel and planned a very Enjoyable Evening to visit the highlights of the city. He was an excellent guide and even added a Surprise evening hidden view !,
A great experience!!!! Well worth it

I'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!

We had an amazing time. 3 tours different tours. Cris took us to the sites in Rome. We had a blast at all of the sights, we took so many pictures. Salvatore took us to Florence and educated us about place along the way. Once in Florence gave us a list of place to see. Manny took us to Orvieto the town is simply amazing. He navigated the winding roads so well! We stopped at Cantine Neri for wine tasting. I an not a wine drinker but I did but wine! All the drivers spoke English extremely well. I would 100% recommend Tome Private Excursions for your trip to Italy
Italy RPE Tours - A Wonderful Taste of Italy

In addition to the above tour, we also booked 3 other tours with RPE Tours through our travel agent. I was traveling with two other friends, and we all agreed the tours were well worth the cost. Our tours included: 3 Hour Walking Tour of Florence with a private guide Day Trip to San Gimignano and Siena with a private driver Best of Rome and The Vatican Tour with a private driver and guide Car Service to Leonardo da Vinci Rome Fiumicino (FCO) airport from our hotel Each driver/guide was on time (even the 6:25 am pick up), extremely knowledgeable, and customer focused. The drivers were excellent drivers (the streets were so narrow with many, many tourists) and really made our tours special with their historical facts and interesting stories. There was never a lull in dialogue during both of our full day tours. Our Florence Walking Tour Guide made our 3 hours fly by and was even willing to stay longer while we shopped (which we declined since we knew how to get back to our hotel). The cars were clean and extremely roomy since there were only the three of us. We also appreciated getting text messages from our drivers/guides advising who they were and reinforcing the tours and times. We all agree through RPE tour service, we experienced so much of Italy (even if was just a taste) that we could never have done on our own. We would not hesitate to use Rome Private Excursions again.

Booked our tour via recommendation from friends who used Rome Private Excursions. The whole experience from initial contact to post tour follow up was excellent. Luca, the owner and team, were very prompt with email responses, and our driver and guide were outstanding with their knowledge and presentation of information. Would high;ly recommend Rome Private Excursions and we'll certainly use them again when we return at some point.
Private Rome tour with Cristiano

We had an incredible experience on our private tour in Rome! Cristiano was not only knowledgeable but also passionate about the city’s history, culture, and hidden gems. They tailored the tour perfectly to our interests, shared fascinating stories at every stop, and made the whole day feel both relaxed and engaging. From major landmarks to local spots we would have never found on our own, everything was seamless and unforgettable. If you’re visiting Rome and want a truly personalized, memorable experience, I can’t recommend Cristiano enough!
RPE not only did all transfers from airport to hotel & cruise ship, plus 2 day tours throughout Rome. It was amazing!

Claudio was an excellent guide and driver and using Rome Private Excursions was the best choice we could have made for our limited time in Rome. We were able to see the sites we most wanted and saved so much time having a private driver. We got great information as we drove around the city and stopped at a few places that you can’t if you’re on a large tour. They even secured our private tour at the Vatican museum, Sistine Chapel, and St. Peter’s Basilica. We highly recommend Rome Private Excursions for touring Rome and other areas in Italy. It saved us both time and money. We also used them for our private transfer to the cruise port and everything was smooth and on time.
