Rome Tours & Excursions

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.

I loved this trip! A very easy and fun way to get to Pompei and Vesuvius. We made stops for snacks and lunch (very affordable) too so we didn’t need to bring much. Our guides were cheerful, calm, and organized. I really appreciated the balance of sharing information on the bus and leaving silence for us to relax in.

Laura L. Was great! Super knowledgeable, nice and funny. She related history to current times. She made everything easy to understand and had great photos to share of what the original buildings looked like. She kept if fresh and friendly while keeping historical accuracy at the forefront. She helped us navigate to the lift so we could get to the top floor of the Colloseo. And she told us the actual name of the building!

Arrived early and went to st peters square and saw the Pope. What Luck. Walked around the east side wall to get to the Museum entrance and was able to walk past a huge entry line with the skip the line privs. Get the audio guide it worth the $10 to know what you are looking at.

We had a wonderful tour around the Coliseum, Palatine Hill & Roman Forum on Friday 30/9/22 with Dennis. Dennis was so knowledgeable, enthusiastic & passionate about the history of the Romans. It truly was one of the best tours myself & husband have had. We would both definitely recommend! 5 stars

Well well it is highly recommended to hire a guide as this is one of the magnificent and as we know, it is one of the wonders of the world and thus if you want to the deepest history and hidden facts about the colosseum then you should get this tour. We were fascinated by the structure, history and really enjoyed the tour.

I had great time at Amalfi coast, Positano.The ocean drive was magnificent.A beautiful place to wander around.I was lucky that, when we went their were no longer pack with Italian vacationer.Pompeii was also educational from our guide story telling, on how Roman lived in the past.Thanks for protecting place for us to see.

This tour was the best tour I had out of the rest of the ones done by magic worlds and it is because of the guide we had! He was not only very knowledgeable about the art work, he also really knew how to engage the audience by telling jokes and giving us fun little quizzes to make the experience an entertaining one! 100/100 would recommend it!

Overall we were pleased with the quality and knowledge of our guides. The places we visited were outstanding and we asked lots of questions! Luca in paticular managed a difficuly portion of the tour in pouring rain. He was awesome. Aside from the rain, my feedback is more about a few confusing aspects. Our itinerary was in reverse order than advertized and we bagan our tour outside covering Palatine Hill and the Forum and then on to the Colosseum where another guide took us to the underground portion and arena floor. After that we expected an above ground tour and that didnt happen, we were left to explore that on our own. Not a huge deal but i didnt feel as if i understood that aspect. Overall a good experience with excellent guides.

We visited the Vatican museums. Considering the particular weekend we proceeded to purchase 5 tickets about a month before. We showed up at the indicated place, they gave us a bottle of water, and put a sticker on the chest to identify us. Together with an assistant we entered the line of groups skipping the kilometric lines, they replaced the tickets for us and we entered immediately. All flawless, considering that in 10 minutes we were already at the entrance turnstiles. An additional 15 euros well spent to skip the entrance line. It is worth it !!!

"We so enjoyed this tour. We could sit back and enjoy the ride. Our tour guide was friendly and so helpful. The side trip to Naples was a nice surprise to the trip. Our lunch was very good. "

I had an absolutely amazing tour and I would recommend anyone who is visiting Rome for the first time to book guided tours for each attraction! Crown Tours is very well organized and the staff is nice, patient and always there to help. I had a true history lesson within those 3 hours and everything made more sense due to the clear explanations. I would love to do it again one day :). P.s: would have loved a walk through the Roman Forum as we only looked at it from above.

Great experience, impressive knowledgeable guide, hands down.

Touring the Colosseum was very interesting and brought to life by the tour guide who gave us a very in-depth history. We wore an ear piece which was much better audibly than trying to hear normally and were able to discover the ruins around the Colisseum as well as itself. Venturing inside was fascinating to imagine life in Roman Times and although disappointed that at the last minute we couldn’t tour underground with our tickets,we were shown visible areas that brought to life what happened below ground.

It is quite the day. Pompeii is very interesting and the guides try to not run into each other too much. Vesuvio is a uphill walk that is doable, but in the given time a challenge for not so fit people. But worth the hike! We had a great guide that made it all entertaining and interesting. I am glad I went.

Fantastic, friendly and knowledgable tour guide called Laura Antonucc! She was engaging, entertaining yet highly informative and captivating. We got through security swiftly and missed the queues. They meet you at bottom of the Arc de Constantine. Would highly recommend!

The tour and guide were great and entertaining. The guide had a good knowledge of the three areas and helped us to avoid the crowds. The tour included the Colosseum, Palatine Hill and ended in the Forum, quite a bit of walking but it was interesting and well presented. The guide stopped us regularly to suggest photograph locations and for water stops... which was helpful.

Everything was so gorgeous. You had time to look at everything of interest without being urged to not dawdle too long. There was a café in the center square, where you could relax. Elevators for the physically impaired and restrooms at every corner. The only gripe were the badly numbered exhibit pieces. It was often quite difficult to locate the numbers to listen to the audio guide. Only way to find the missing numbers was to put in random ones from the group of numbers you were looking at and going through them until you found the right one.

"Bus was comfortable, enjoyed the short walking tour in Naples. Good pizza for lunch. Before entering the Pompei ruins we were taken to a jewellery making area with shops selling jewellery. This was a waste of time for me but perhaps others enjoyed it. The ruins themselves are amazing. Tour guides excellent. All in all a worthwhile trip "

Guia was our guide and did a good job of taking us through the highlights of the Vatican Museum. We did the small group tour of 20 people for 2.5 hours and we were able to get a good introduction to the Museum itself, the Western sculptures section, Gallery of Maps and then the Sistine Chapel. Since we had an afternoon tour in July, the museum was packed and extremely crowded in certain sections, but Guila did a good job of finding shade, keeping us engaged and explaining aspects of the Sistine Chapel fresco we should look out for. Highly recommend a guided tour when visiting the Vatican Museum to get the most out of your time there
