A remarkable tour and enriching experience
Sylvia W,Jun 4, 2026

5.00An exceptional tour of the highlights of Rome. Note, we booked a driver not a tour guide. However, our personal driver, Loretta, explained to us the fascinating history of many monuments of Rome. Her professionalism and beautiful personality is truly an awesome combination. Loretta ensured the day was well-structured to give us time to spend at each site, but without wasting time hanging around. We can only describe it as the perfect tour. If you want to see several sites and understand some of the less obvious background knowledge of Rome, Loretta is just the person; she is superb. We were equally impressed with her expert ability to safely and efficiently navigate the busy roads of Rome. We loved every minute of this tour! Loretta, sei semplicemente la migliore. Note: If you want to spend a lot of time at different sites such as queuing and going in the within the internal area of the Colosseum, you will need to be realistic about the time you have available. This tour is ideal for seeing several key sites - 'a taste of Rome'.
Excellent cruise excursion

5.00Matteo was the best driver and guide for our tour! He picked us up on time from the cruise port and drove us the hour into the city, the whole time educating us about Rome and the surrounding area. He even had lunch recommendations and booked us a table at a great pizza place. Matteo offered us cold water and gave us plenty of free time at many stops to explore on our own. Highly recommend this tour and with Matteo.
Great experience

5.00We had an amazing experience with Matteo. He was an excellent guide. On Viator it listed out a different itinerary which I wasn’t thrilled about since it only drove by the Colosseum and didn’t stop at the Spanish Steps. I debated whether to use this company or another but decided to go with this one and talk to the driver. We didn’t even need to bring this up because Matteo was already planning to make the changes we had wanted. Circus Maximus is not really worth stopping at, it is more a drive by attraction too. He knows the city and what he is doing. He even gave dining recommendations and made reservations for us. I highly recommend this company and I hope you get Matteo.
Wonderful guide and amazing Rome tour!

5.00We had a FANTASTIC time in Rome! Our tour guide was Matt from Driver in Rome. BEST tour guide ever! He was very knowledgeable about the history of Rome. We went to the Colosseum, Roman ruins, Pantheon, Trevi Fountain and St. Peter’s Basilica. Also treated us to two unscheduled stops at St. Paul & St. Peter’s Basilica and the Spanish Steps. He made lunch reservations at a restaurant for our group of 8. Amazing carbonara! Took us to a local gelato shop…yum! Thanks Matt!!

Highlight of Rome in a Day

5.00Matteo is an an amazing, excellent, talented and informative tour guide and driver. He not only met our expectations but overwhelmingly exceeded it. He gave us the opportunity to visit all the main attractions considering the very crowded and busy day in Rome today (5/28/2026). Matteo took us to eat lunch at a restaurant where locals eat; away from the tourists area - Goose Restaurant. The quality of the food was excellent. It was very “Rome”. Price, service and ambience was also excellent. Grazie mille! Alex & Kathy Flores US

5.00Matteo was a fantastic guide, we got to see the highlights of Rome! The air conditioned van was a HUGE bonus it was 32 degrees Celsius. We had a fair amount of time to take photos and sight see, if you’re big into shopping there isn’t enough time in this tour.
Amazing!

5.00I had an absolute incredible time! It was well worth the price in my opinion. The length was perfect, if not almost short but we got so much done it’s hard to complain. Matteo was our driver and guide and he was amazing. He answered all our questions and gave us the right amount of info without being overly chatty. I highly suggest!
Rome in a day.

5.00This was excellent way to see Rome in a day. Our tour guide, Matt, was excellent, and full of knowledge. Without the private transportation, and being with a family, we would not have been able to see half of the things we did on our own. I highly recommend.
