A great tour of Rome

5.00This was our first tour in Rome and it was wonderful. Our tour plan got a bit changed by the arrival of the King of England at the Colleseum, but our guide was able to keep us seeing so many great things to avoid the traffic from the Kings visit. Our guide was very knowledgeable and shared a lot about the city and monuments. This was a great experience and we can recommend it.
Navigate the crowds and skip the lines!

5.00Tomasso was an excellent guide and very knowledgeable. His profession as an archeologist was very helpful to bring the city to life. He made the tour very interesting for our kids and even recommended an excellent restaurant for lunch! I would highly suggest a private tour since all the kids questions were answered, we could focus longer in areas of interest AND was much easier to navigate the large crowds of tourist in the colosseum/forum area. Five stars all the way. Grazie Tomasso! Ciao!

5.00Thomas was so knowledgeable and friendly. Very easy to understand. Meeting spot was fairly easy to find, but the address was a bit confusing. But he was standing out there with our name on a sign, with a big smile!
One of our Rome highlights! Great tour guide!

5.00We struck gold with our guide and Roman archeologist, Tomasso! He was amazing and so knowledgeable about the city and ruins (past and present). He made it fun and interesting for the kids (ages 14-19) even recreating a gladiator battle (using dice). He was patient and flexible and even brought us to a great lunch place at the end of the tour. We were completely satisfied and all had fun! Highly recommend!

5.00Highly recommend Max & the private tour. He packed everything into 4 hours as we were pressed for time. He was knowledgeable and had illustrations to better explain the past & present. Had wonderful anecdotes and was very knowledgeable about the subjects presented. Thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Max. Definitely a highlight of our short stay in Rome!! We will return. Thank you Max!!!
