We enjoyed this tour. Erturk, was engaging, spoke clearly . We liked his knowledge of the history . We did a similar tour 10 years ago. This time we learned more about this beautiful historic place. We recommended the tour today to a family. We definitely know you need to be comfortable walking. Erturk, thank you for a lovely educational day. My wife enjoyed learning more about the coliseum and forum. Hope to return soon! Chow

This all day tour is exactly that - all day and I did not feel slighted in the bit. We start with the Vatican Museum when the doors opened and ended at the Colosseum at 1600! A day filled with: information, beautiful sites, and wonderful exploration. In the middle we take a lunch break in the midst of the beautiful Piazza Navona. This was all made even more enjoyable by our guide Marza! Her knowlege and personality made an 8 hour history lesson even more entertaining. this was a tour of a lifetime - Thank you Marza!
Great day with The Tour Guy

Our group of 8 had a great day with Giada - she explained what we were seeing and the importance of each sight and the area we visited. It was a 7 hour tour, and she made the most of every minute. We loved it!!

Paola was a perfect guide. Excellent knowledge, engaging, charming, and funny. My wife and I had a wonderful day with our daughter and niece. I would highly recommend this Tour to anyone looking to experience Rome. I could not begin to imagine how difficult it would be to see any of the things we saw if we just tried to book them on our own. Thank you so much. Chris and Jenice

The tour hit all the places that we wanted to see. It’s quite a bit of walking so keep that in mind, but worth it. What made this an enjoyable experience was our tour guide Marzia! She is amazing at what she does and very knowledgeable. Marzia made this tour the best one we’ve had during our stay in Rome.

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!
