We booked this excursion for our very first Mediterranean trip and cruise, and it completely exceeded every expectation! I can’t imagine a better or more exciting way to see Rome. Matt was absolutely phenomenal, part historian, part magician behind the wheel. He somehow managed to get us unbelievably close (sometimes impossibly close!) to all of Rome’s iconic landmarks and hidden gems. His knowledge, charm, and effortless driving made the day unforgettable. Every moment felt curated just for us. It was, without question, the most incredible day of our entire trip!

What a great tour! Small group- 8 of us. Saw everything you could want to see in Rome. Saw Xircus Maximus, the Colliseum, St Paul's outside the walks. Took a picture of the dome of St. Peters thru a peephole in a door together the name. Visited the square outside the Vatican. Driver even found us a neat little restaurant for a delicious lunch. Driverinrome tours Driver Loretta knew the best ways to get around the city. Would heartily recommend this tour to everyone.

What an absolutely fabulous tour! If you want to hit the highlights of Rome without fighting the crowds and traffic yourself, this tour is for you! Our driver Costinel was wonderful and knowledgeable about Rome. He was able to take us as close as he could to the sites in the van, so less walking. Costinel gave us times to meet back at the van to move to the next stop. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see it all without the stress of walking or fighting crowds.

This was a wonderful trip into Rome from the cruise port. Our driver was extremely knowledgeable and had an excellent plan for how to get around Rome for us to see as much as possible in one day! I couldn’t have planned it any better.
