The Best Way to See Rome in a Day

We had a wonderful full-day tour in Rome thanks to our amazing guide Enza! She was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and engaging throughout the entire day. From the Colosseum to the Vatican, Trevi Fountain to the Pantheon, we were able to see all the major highlights of the city in our one day we had in Rome. She brought the history of Rome to life with fascinating stories and insights that we never would have discovered on our own. She made sure everyone in our group was comfortable and enjoying themselves. If you want a meaningful and memorable experience in Rome, book with her—you won’t regret it!

Our guide Alba met us with the other Tour guide tours across the street from the Vatican museums. She had read my requests and was ready to help us have the best day, including finding a restaurant that offered gluten free items. She had our time at each site timed very well and built in a couple of times to sit too! It was a jammed packed day including as described the Vatican museums and Colosseum. We also stopped other places including the Pantheon and Forum for pictures. Our skip the line entrances were all great and her commentary was top notch! Our driver, Montel did a great job gettting us everywhere. They were a great team. I am very happy with our experience.
Best Day & Tour Ever!!!

We recently had the extreme pleasure of taking the Private Rome in a day tour. There were four in our group and everyone was very impressed by the sites and our very knowledgeable and charismatic tour guide , Raffa Olivia. It was a very busy day, especially at the Vatican, but, Raffa guided us smoothly through the crowds, we would have been lost without her. Literally! . It really is worth it for this VIP access. After the Vatican we visited the Trevi fountain & stopped outside the Pantheon and visited a beautiful Baroque square. Raffa shared many stories about the sculptures and the history. Raffa then took us to an AMAZING place for lunch, where we had the BEST pizza and some delicious Roman specialities! After lunch , the Colosseum , breathtaking!! Don't miss this tour, seriously ,it was the best experience of our trip !! It was so much fun!!!
Fantastic Tour of Rome in a Day

Manuela was a fabulous tour guide who was patient and attentive. She knew all of the history and information and was overwhelmed with my children’s questions. Our only challenge was the timing of everything. If you want to spend more time at each place, it’s best to split the tour and do it separately. We felt we didn’t have enough time at certain places but that was because we were trying to accomplish a lot in one day. If you’re pressed for time, then do it in one day. If you have the luxury of time, then split it up.

This tour is very ambitious as it covers a lot, but Giada did an amazing job of keeping us engaged and teaching about Rome’s past. It was a wonderful way to get an overview of the city’s significant historic sites.

We had Raffaella as our guide. She was super passionate, very informative and brought a lot of energy to a full day of seeing sights around Rome. Having her as a guide definitely made our experience better and easier to see all the big ticket items.

Amazing Day

Monica provided the absolute best day in Rome for us. She introduced us to the most incredible sites in Rome and gave us detailed and interesting explanations and descriptions. The two best things she provided was context with practical information and options to see particular things of interest to us. One thing in particular was the option to visit the prison where Paul and Peter were held on separate occasions. This was a huge highlight for us and very unexpected. Thank you to Monica and the Tour Guy for an awesome day in Rome!!

I can't say enough about this absolutely amazing tour of "Rome In A Day" and our personal guide, Giovanni. Knowledgeable, personable, intelligent, and savvy, Giovanni grew up in Rome so he knew the in's/outs of all the popular spots (Colosseum, St. Peters, Sistine Chapel, The Vatican, The Roman Forum, and more) as well as many of Rome's hidden gems (many churches, paintings, piazza's, fountains, buildings, streets, and more) and the history behind them all. His MBA in art history came in handy as well as him being a historian for the Vatican. This tour made the most of our time in Rome and I highly recommend it!

They’re are real no words to describe Maria. Her knowledge of everything that we saw on our tour is unsurpassed. We saw the Vatican, Sistine Chapel, St. Peter’s Basilica, Roman Forum, Trevi Fountain, Pantheon and the Colosseum. She not on described or taught my wife and I about these wonderful sites, she did so in the form of telling stories that made you feel like you were there during that time. She is amazing and we were so lucky to have her as our guide ! Best regards Brian and Nancy
