Erturk was an exceptional tour guide! We were hoping to get as many sites as we could in Rome and he did an outstanding job not only showing us the sites but also giving us an extraordinary history lesson.

Did the Rome in a Day tour, and our guide Erturk was absolutely amazing. He was incredibly knowledgeable and brought the history of Rome to life at every stop. We visited the Vatican, the Pantheon, several beautiful Piazza’s including the Trevi Fountain, and wrapped up the day at the iconic Colosseum. It was a full but well-paced day, and Erturk made every site engaging and easy to understand. Highly recommend this tour and especially this guide!
Great tour

My wife and I have been on dozens of tours over the years. This tour was one of the best if not the best. Our guide, Erturk, was exceptional. He was patient, well spoken and very knowledgeable. There is a lot of walking but very worthwhile. We highly recommend this tour.
Great coverage of major Rome attractions in one day

This was a great one-day experience. The guide was very pleasant and provided great information and tour...that covered most of the major attractions. You can't see everything in Rome in a day, so don't expect that. But it hits major attractions that made the tour very worth the value. The communication and preparation by The Roman Guy prior to the trip was very good and on the day before and the day of the trip the communication was exceptional.

Had a wonderful, very busy day trying to see as much of Rome as possible! The Vatican museums and their incredible collections of art are almost overwhelming with how much there is to see! Was great to see the Pantheon and Trevi Fountain. The fountain was insanely busy, so we came back at 9:30pm after the crowds had thinned a bit so we could toss our coins and get photos. Seeing the ruins of the Forum and Coliseum was an unforgettable experience. Very impressed we fit so much into the day! Thank you! ☺️

We loved our Rome in a Day Tour. It was our first time in Rome and we wanted to make sure we hit some of the bigger sites. Our tour guide, Daniel, was incredibly knowledgeable about all the sites we visited and we moved around the city easily. This tour was 7 hours long and he did a great job of bringing out unique information at each of the 5 sites. I would highly recommend this tour to others.
Great Tour

The most important part of any guide is the Tour Guide. We were lucky to have Kate and she was awesome. She was energetic, high spirited, knowledgeable, and LOVES what she do. This was the best way to quickly experience Rome. You get to go inside and spend time on the important attractions (Vatican Museum and Colosseum) while not wasting too much time on the others (for example the Pantheon) when exterior visit is honestly enough.
