We did the Rome in a day tour with Alba. The tour was great , well paced and covered the key highlights. The tour was made even more enjoyable because of our guide Alba. She was interesting and funny. She also made sure the group had some time to explore and catch their breath. Her English was excellent as was her knowledge of the history of Italy! I would highly recommend this tour and especially Alba!

This tour is perfect for someone with limited time in Rome. Our guide Maria was amazing, sharing her passion and knowledge of Roman history throughout the day. I definitely recommend this tour, but caution those booking to be prepared for a lot of walking

Erturk was a fabulous guide on our Rome in a Day tour with the Tour Guys. He was extremely knowledgeable and prepared with a book of maps, pictures of ancient Romans and some original pictures of the structures (Colosseum) we were visiting. He also spent an additional 45 minutes at the Vatican Museum and St. Peter’s Square because of delays due to volume of people visiting the site. We very much recommend going on a tour with the Company and having Erturk as your guide.

This was definitely a full day - we packed in a lot of the sights and Loretta was very knowledgeable about each one. Rome was already crowded and there’s no way we could have navigated nearly as well on our own. It was lots of walking but she was always looking for shade and making sure no one got left behind. Definitely recommend.

We had the pleasure of spending the day with Monica. Her knowledge of Rome, its history and insights were incredible. She made sure the group had the full Rome in a day experience. Her personality is infectious and will leave you wanting to do it again (after some rest of course). Thank you Monica! Would recommend you to anyone!
