Manuela was a wealth of knowledge and gave so much information through the course of the day. Unfortunately there was a thunderstorm when we were at the Colosseum and we were unable to complete the walking part of the tour, but she did her best to talk through everything with her visual aids/books.

Kate was phenomenal! Extremely knowledgeable and engaging. Her attention to detail extended beyond showing us all of the highlights of the tour she could, to finding us shade on such a hot and sunny day, to remembering everyone's name in her group. We compared the rest of our tour guides to Kate, and let's just say, they had some big shoes to fill!

If you want to make the most of your time in Rome, this tour is for you! Our guide—the fabulous Gaby—took us to all the most important historical sites. She was very knowledgeable, fun and accommodating. Be prepared for a jam-packed extraordinary experience!! Grazie mille Gaby!
Very expansive, not for the faint of heart.

We got to see so much in one day which was ideal for our short time in Rome. Very well picked out areas. Just know you will be on your feet (in the hot sun if you come summer months) for an incredibly long time. I’d consider my friends and I in excellent shape and pretty resilient but we were absolutely exhausted by the end. Marco was our tour guide and very clearly passionate about Rome. He brought books with illustrations to educate which I appreciated. I do wish we were given more free time as Marco’s passion may have caused a continual monologue throughout the entire trip with little pauses to absorb the material and the locations. It was a little too much information for me personally and I think our group would have preferred some interesting facts with time to just explore ourselves and take breaks especially since this was a 7 hour very arduous tour.

Excellent tour with Liz

Our tour with Liz was excellent. She was very knowledgeable and well organized., and gave us a great overview of your amazing city. Only blemish on the day was our taxi ride. I have never encountered such rude and surly people. They were aggressively arguing with Liz in front of us, and to top it off the driver told me not to touch his “fu**ing door” Never in my life did I expect this in a tour that a premium price was paid. Hire a new transport company. These ones will mar your reputation in a hurry.
Amazing experience

A wonderful experience. So many stories and history that is breathtaking. Our guide was brilliant. Be prepared for a lot of walking but it is thoroughly worth it!
Fantastic experience!

I couldn’t recommend this tour more highly. The knowledge that the guide providing was so beneficial to us without being over the top. We have been on a lot of tours over the years and this has by far been the best. We visited so many different landmarks and understanding their history in a fun energetic way, was fantastic. Great value for money and skipping the cues.
SO WORTH IT!!

My Fiancee and I have done lots of travels but generally avoid the tours because we like to do our own thing. Given the size of Rome and a couple of other recommendations from friends we decided to give The Tour Guy a shot. Wow, we couldn't be happier with the decision to do this. The city is so big and there is so much to see without the help from our amazing guide, Gaby, it would not have been possible. Gaby was knowledgeable in every step of the tour and full of energy and excitement. I highly recommend The Tour Guy and requesting Gaby. 10/10

Great tour. Carolina did a wonderful job. Lots of knowledge and energy. It was also nice that she showed us how to fill our water bottles at the water fountains.
Great Experience!

Carolina, our guide, was great. She was very knowledgeable, and made sure the group had a lot of time and opportunity to take in everything on the tour. The tour was a great way to see some of the major places in Rome. We ended up booking another Roman/Tour Guy tour before we left Rome, and was as impressed with that experience.

This tour was fantastic! Rome is truly just one gigantic museum! Our Guide Gabby was fantastic, extremely knowledgeable and friendly. The Vatican part of this tour was extensive and impressive. The VIP access is true, as soon as they see her tour flag, tape barriers start opening and we start skipping lines! This tour is all you need to visit all the major Roman touristic sites in just one full day! You have to be able to walk for 7-8 hours straight, on cobblestones and under the sun and heat! Comfortable walking shoes is a must, don’t try to play pretty for this tour, you’ll regret it! I wish they included the entrance to the Pantheon, it actually made no sense that we didn’t go in to such an iconic landmark. This almost makes me want to give the tour a 4 star rating, but honestly it deserves the 5 stars. Finally, for the tour organizers, please make sure that you confirm with your clients the language that the tour is in. We had a couple from Spain that didn’t speak English and they were extremely chatty and they kept asking our guide all kinds of questions in Spanish. Though our guide did a very good job in always switching the conversation to English after answering their questions, they were just extremely chatty and the annoying part is that we could all hear her conversations through the radio so it was just not fun to have to wait until their Spanish conversation was done… so for a group of 12, 10 people had to go through that because of 2 people didn’t know how to book the Spanish tour…. Thanks Gabby and the Tour Guy for an amazing day in Rome!
Great time!

Our guide Elisiana was wonderful. She was very knowledgeable and to the point, providing all wonderful information each site and what we needed to know to navigate the crowds. I would advise anyone considering this tour that there is a lot of walking on uneven surfaces. We came the end of August and it was still very hot. Our guide did a good job of trying to find us shade but if you have trouble with heat or a lot of walking you may want to consider a different tour.
