Great overview of Rome most popular sites with private driver!
Cheryl_P, Sep 2023
Gaber was so nice and took us to see all the highlights of Rome without the hassle of taxis buses and crowds. His car was very clean and easily accommodated four adults Drop off and pick up was especially wonderful! He also took us to less known gems of Rome and gave us ideas of other places we may be interested in. It’s a nice overview of Rome, even though we had been there before! Highly recommend Gaber Hussein!
A pleasant ride through history without fighting the battle of the crowds.
Eneo_S, Sep 2023
Knowledgeable guide and many sights visited made for an enjoyable journey through time and place. Sean’s consideration of our age and health challenges made for a happy day. Gelato stops were an added pleasure.
Great Rome tour up close and personal
Gary_C, Aug 2023
Andrea was very attentive, courteous, knowledgeable and provided great insight. His driving skills and local information were exceptional. Worth every cent.
Great overview of Rome!
Kim_P, Aug 2023
This was a wonderful way to get an overview and see the top sights of Rome. We had limited time to see the sights of Rome, and this was a great way to maximize our time. The tour guide was great and showed us so many places while we were with him - the best places for pictures and many interesting bits of history.
Thank you Shawn! We...

Thank you Shawn! We appreciated your knowledge of Roma and the special sightseeing areas not crowded with tons of tourists! A private guide in Roma is a “must”!
Best first tour before seeing Rome
William_S, Jul 2023
Claudio was absolutely the best! Take this tour before seeing anything else in Rome. Made the rest of the trip very easy and memorable!
Not a tour but more of private driver for the day
Ivette_T, Jul 2023
Thought I had booked an actual tour but instead this was more of a private driver that took us to the main tourist sites in Rome. July is always hot in Rome and so it was nice to have an AC car driving us around. If you are looking for a tour with some content being shared this is not it.
We are very satisfied with this tour and extremely satisfied with Gaber, we give him 5 stars.
Blanca_R, Jun 2023
Visiting Rome’s most historic places and more with a private tour makes a big difference if you can’t or don’t want to take a tour that will have the tourists walking and standing for a very long time. This 4 hour tour was perfect for all of us over 65. Additionally our driver/guide was not only the best driver in Tome but he was considerate, patient and full of stories about the city and the cultural history that makes Rome. Thank you so much Gaber, you are one of the best tour driver/guide we’ve ever had!! The Browns

Trip reservation was made, paid for and then was canceled by the operator without knowing.
Princess_P, Jun 2023
We were sad to find out that our tour was canceled. We were waiting for our driver and I happened to look at my email and saw that an email had been sent. There was no phone call or text. I was charged and am still waiting for a credit.

Great tour!
Sandra_M, Jun 2023
We only had 1 day to see Rome before going on our cruise. Our guide picked us up from our hotel and our tour personalized for the two of us. Thanks to our guide we were able to see everything on our list. We would have never have otherwise seen everything on our own with our time constraints.
Excellent!
Michele_V, Jun 2023
With so little time to spend in Rome I was worried that we would not be able to see very much. Our driver made sure that we saw as much as possible and made it a very relaxed and pleasant experience. He was so knowledgeable and had so many interesting stories t share. Thank you! We had a great time!

Dominic_Q, Jun 2023
Great tour. Guide was excellent. Friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. Do yourself a favor and book this tour. 10/10 would recommend.
Horrible! Stay away!!!
Ramona_G, Jun 2023
Horrible experience. Booked this tour to sight see a little before heading to the airport in Rome. Booked and paid for this and got an email later the night before pick up that they could not get us at our destination. Even though I wrote it in the notes where we needed to be picked up at the port and sent 3 messages about this making sure it was ok well in advance. Tried calling the company and could not get through. Viator was also no help. Contacted them on whats app for hours going back and forth and they kept telling me nothing could be done and no credit or refund would be made since THEY decided they could not pick us up within the 24 cancellation period. Insane! No messages of apology or anything. They never even confirmed they would not be getting us. They just never showed up and left 2 adults and our 2 young children stranded with our luggage in Rome., but still charged us for the service they never performed. Horrible service and even worse customer service. Stay away!

Our driver was very knowledgeable and courteous! He was excellent at finding close parking so my husband with back issues did not have to walk far. It was much appreciated!

Private tour of Rome.
deborah_c, May 2023
We had a wonderful tour of Rome with Sean. He was friendly and knowledgeable of the history of Rome. He drove us around in his immaculately clean BMW with patience and kindness. We would highly recommend him to anyone.

Jeannie_R, May 2023
Our driver was knowledgeable, dependable, and showed us places in Rome not on our list! He made our first trip to Rome memorable and amazing! I would highly recommend Gabriel for a guide. He was very punctual and a very pleasant man.
