Allesandro was a perfect guide, exceeded our expectations. Knew the “ hot spots” without the tourists, was a great experience. Allesandro is very personable, knowledgeable and extremely helpful with suggestions from photos, to additional tours, do’s and don’ts of Rome, and food choices. Worth every penny, highly recommend.

Unfortunately, our experience with Claudia as our tour guide was not as expected. She arrived an hour late, having forgotten our scheduled meeting time. Communication was challenging due to language barriers, and simple requests, such as taking photos, were not understood. Additionally, we were concerned about her well-being as she appeared unsteady and frequently bumped into our baby's pram and passersby. We were also uncomfortable with her smoking close to our baby. We hope this feedback helps improve future experiences for other guests.
Great Quick Layover Tour!! ❤️🛬

I had a wonderful time in Rome, my tour guide was Tugce she was phenomenal and showed me so much in a short time. I had a layover in Rome and wanted to see as much as I could. I will definitely be back so I can really enjoy the culture more, but the cafe we ate at to the history sights, I definitely want to learn more about Rome. Thank you for being so kind and taking photos of me that I wanted, looking forward to the next time I come and visit 😊

In three couples of friends we were in Rome from 8 to 13 May. To visit the most important places, after careful research, we turned to the tour operator Storiaviva Viaggi and booked 2 private guided tours: the first to the Vatican Museums, Raphael's rooms and the Sistine Chapel and the second to the Colosseum, Palatine Hill and Imperial Forums. On both visits our guide was Mrs. Marta. They were two really nice experiences. Marta allowed us to understand and deepen many aspects and peculiarities related to the treasures we visited. The Vatican Museums are particularly crowded but being a small group with a great guide we were able to appreciate the wonders we visited. Experience that I recommend both as a tour operator, who prefers to manage visits with small groups, and as a guide because Marta is really good and prepared.

Gerry is a great local host who took us for a walk around Rome telling us the story and various anecdotes about the monuments. We crossed Rome seeing less known but suggestive views and entertained us for both hours.
