Our tour guide Miss broccoli was amazing.
She was extremely knowledgable of all the different sites that we saw and was very good at communicating that to us in English.
I would highly recommend this tour.
It is mostly a walking tour, which probably should’ve been highlighted more in the advertisement of it. But we were super impressed with our guide. She was great.

Traffic was so bad the bus couldn’t get through, so we arrived late and tour had left. They did try to get me in the end of the tour but with no avail. I don’t blame the Tour Guy but they could at least give me a refund.

With only one full day in Rome, this was the perfect tour for us. It was all they said it would be, and our guide Maria made sure we hit all the spots. It was definitely exhausting … lots and lots of walking and climbing - but well worth all the effort!
Excellent Day in Rome

Our tour guide did a phenomenal job showing us as much as possible of Rome in a day. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and fun. We learned a lot, got a lot of great pictures, and made some great memories. It was a long day with a lot of walking, but our guide made it fun!

A fabulous day of seeing some of Rome’s treasures. Monica was very professional, kept us on schedule, and most importantly very knowledgeable. She answered every question fully. I also liked that she seemed to be very well respected by other guides we met throughout the day and at our stops. A truly AMAZING Day. Very highly recommended.
A great one day in Rome

Recommended! We had only a short time to stay in Rome but this tour would be a great start even if staying longer. Only exception is if you really wanted to focus on the Vatican. This Rome in a day Tour starts at the Vatican so you would have to reenter to spend more time. Guide was very informative and understandable.
