The guide we had for the statue of David was knowledgeable. If you are in a hurry this is a good time crunch way to see things otherwise book the events separately and enjoy more of Florence.”

Villa d'este is stunningly beautiful though demanding to manage the many stairs and slopes, especially on a hot day. Our driver, Mario, was also pleasant and drove in a comfortable and safe manner. We never felt hurried and did feel we received good value for the tour. Information was clear to find the meeting point.”

Private day trip from Rome to Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast, with skip-the-line ruins and time in Positano and Amalfi.

“It was a long day, but worth every penny! A magical tour of Pompeii and the Amalfi coast. Truly so worth it. Our day trip guide was Yara, who was incredibly knowledgeable and shared tons of history and culture along the way. She speaks more languages and is incredibly sweet and smart. Our Pompeii guide was Paolo who was excellent. The driver, Emmanuele, navigated all the turns of the Amalfi coast so easily that none of us were even worried despite the hair raising road. This trip was the perfect amount of history and culture, without overwhelming. You are taking too long. The pace was perfect and we enjoyed about…”

Appia Antica bike rental for one full day: helmets and locks included, guided catacombs visits, quiet ancient road, flexible stops.

We had limited time so didn't stop to visit the nearby catacombs but, having cycled 12Km to via di Fioranello, we took a detour on the return journey to visit 'Aqueduct Park'. Beautiful scenery, fabulous archaeology and highly recommend leaving the centre of Rome to enjoy the experience of cycling along one of history's oldest highways.”

He was so friendly and personable. On top of the main sites of Rome, we saw so much we never would have found or known about. He customized the tour as well when we expressed interest in a few sites. This wound up being our favorite tour of the vacation. 100% a great tour!”

“Our private tour of Rome was perfect. We had one day to see all the sights in Rome and chose the private tour with driver and skip the line passes. Our driver, Marco, drove us to all of the most important places in Rome. We have 3 children and to be able to see the Spanish Steps, Catacombs, Colosseum and Vatican Museums in one day was priceless. Our tour guide for the Colosseum and Vatican was very knowledgeable (her name is escaping me) and knew how to adjust the tour to keep the interest of our kids.
