Rome Tours & Excursions

Elizabeth was an excellent guide. The tour was informative and went at a good pace. We were on holiday with our 10 year old son who enjoyed it too and didn't get bored. Having a small group meant we were all able to keep together and not waiting for people to catch up.

My friend and I arrived late by accident (no fault of the tour). They were so incredibly helpful, particularly one person - I believe his name was Costa or Kosta? He and another man got us into the Colosseum, despite being late, and we were able to join the tour. It was also a very fun tour, with lots of "fun facts" about the areas.

While St. Peter's Basilica is free to enter, you can opt for a guided tour ticket that includes both the Vatican Museums and the basilica. If you enter on your own, you will be required to go through security, and lines can be long. It is advisable to hire a guide.

There are not enough words to describe the amazing day I had on this full day, jam packed tour. My tour guide Claudio was excellent and made the day enjoyable with his love and knowledge of all things Italy. This tour exceeded my recommendations and was exactly as described. It was a long day with an approx. 2-hour drive from Rome to Pompeii but so worth it. Claudio used the driving time to educate me on Italy. The Neapolitan pizza was great and came with plenty of food. Shout out to our skillful and great driver, Gianluca. Can't wait to go back to Italy and book another tour.

We found the whole experience very pleasant. The meeting point was convenient and easy to find. The guide was very knowledgeable and easy to listen to. We preferred the Colosseum part of the experience more than the forum part but that was just personal preference and why we had booked the tour in the first place. We learned some things we'd never known before and thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon.

While we didn’t get to see the lower portion of the Colosseum, they did issue a partial refund. Sometimes it gets overbooked and that was why we were bumped. The reminder of the tour was fantastic. Our guide was very knowledgeable. Would absolutely recommend the tour.

Our guide was absolutely amazing, we will forever remember our tour in rome with our guide from Albania she was an absolute Lady. I highly suggest getting a guide as ours was so knowledgeable on the sites, and we met lovely people from the US and Australia, thank you from Ireland

Our guide on the bus was amazing, checking on everyone, lots of communication, our guide around Pompeii was funny and full of information he really made the day that but more memorable, the hike up Vesuvius was something we will never forget even though walking up in the heat can be a big deterrent keep going it’s worth it when you’re up there and it is possible in the time given! I do not recommend the pizza place for lunch, the staff were rude and the food was not of good quality in my opinion! It’s was burnt and hard! Also if you can’t stop for souvenirs in Pompeii they do have them in shops up Vesuvius

A bit difficult to find the ticket office to exchange the voucher for tickets, but it worked out fine. Worth not waiting on extra lines. Security is long enough. The Vatican museum is huge and well worth the visit. The actual Sistine Chapel part was a bit crowded and the attendants were rather rude. Yes, it is a sacred place, but shouting ""silence"" was a bit off putting overall.

"Very enjoyable tour. Our guide was Ilaria and driver was Francesco. Both were amazing and extremely friendly. At Pompeii, we were guided by Brunella which she shared a lot of knowledge about the history and background of the place. It was a long trip but Ilaria makes it enjoyable as much as possible since as you go to different places, she shares very interesting information about a certain building, bridge, or historical areas. "

"Great experience.. everyone was helpful and we all had a great time. special thanks to our driver Johnny who was great and took us safely.. our coordinator Alessandro who was perfect in managing the whole event. and our guide Umberto who was a phenomenal guide with immense knowledge of the history of Pompeii! highly recommend "

Highly educational, very thorough accounting of history. We realize that when traveling to other countries it can be difficult if not impossible to find native English speakers, but the accent of this particular guide was so strong it was very difficult to understand her English. She was otherwise brilliant and clearly lives for this history and archaeology, but it was hard to follow her.

This skip the line guided tour was a life saver. There were extremely long lines to first enter the building to purchase tickets. As a group we were ushered through into the main ticketing building where our guide redeemed vouchers for tickets. The guided tour was worth it and you can select the preferred language when booking. We were provided.with an English speaking guide. There were other groups based on language - French, Spanish etc. The vatican museums were amazing! No photos were permitted in the Sistine Chapel.

If you've never done a guided tour before then I highly recommend that this tour be your first. You won't be disappointed. This was my first time and it was absolutely brilliant. Our guide Alessandra was exceptional! She was so friendly, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, energetic and funny. She made the whole experience. Keeping the whole group engaged throughout. She is an absolute credit and you won't be disappointed if you are lucky enough to have her as your guide. Great experience, great value for money.

Absolutely amazing! 5/5 would recommend. Tour guide Clare was outstanding, constantly going above and beyond to suit the needs of the group. Positano is simply gorgeous and the perfect stop off. Our tour guide for Pompeii was also amazing, with his in depth knowledge of the site and comical sense of humour. Don’t let the price of this trip put you off, it is worth every penny.

The tour was absolutely amazing and such good value for money. Our guide, Sonia was incredibly knowledgeable and so friendly and funny and made the whole day so great. I would definitely recommend this experience for anyone who is keen to visit the Amalfi coast and have a guided tour of Pompeii.

5 stars from our group! It was the best idea to get this ticket, I definitely recommend it to everyone. Antonia is a wonderful guide - she made history come alive, she was informative, comprehensive, fun and amazing with the group. I'm sure all guides are great, but if it's possible, ask for Antonia :)

It was definitely worth the guided tour, especially if you don't have an art history background. We went in October so the basilica was a lot less crowded than I would expect during peak tourist season, but it still saved us a pretty long wait in line.

Thank you to our great guide and service. We were late and missed our group, but when we found the meeting spot they helped secure our tix and even escorted us to the entrance so we could enter and tour on our own. Felt like we got VIP service even though we were late!

The colosseum is something amazing to see. So rich in history and a definite must if you’re in Rome. Overall, our guide was good and very knowledgeable as he used to be an archeologist working on the site, however , he did speak a bit too fast and our ear pieces kept getting interference with other guides. Aside from that, an awesome activity for sure.
