“The guide Daniel was wonderful. He brought us to the most important monuments. My only con is The Spanish Steps were not on the tour but I can see we would not have had enough time since we had to get back to the ship. We had a great driver as well.”

“Ricardo our guide was excellent, getting us to 10 sites in Rome in only 6 hours! He found us a tour slot for the catacombs, which was one of the highlights of the day. My only criticism would be of the tour scheduling (not in Ricardo's control) . We were never given a pickup time but were asked when reserving the tour for our arrival time. We assumed that our pick up was between 7:30 and 8:30 am. When no one was there to meet us, we called and were told 9:15 was pick up time. We could have got an extra hour of sleep.”

“Marco met us at the ship and took as to more historic sites than we imagined possible. He parked strategically for scenic photos and to get us close to entrances which was especially helpful for my husband who cannot walk long distances. He was quick to adapt to our preferences and recommended whether to explore the outside or the inside of site based on ticket cost and crowds. Marco shared about Rome past and present and willingly answered our questions, always with a smile. We did all this in the rain and he opened the car door with umbrella in hand. It was an excellent day and Marco is a…”

“Good tour to see all the major sights in Rome. Group of 8 was perfect and driver/guide excellent. A little chaotic at first with a change of drivers at port entrance and a delay. Our driver rearranged the order of sightseeing because of political and religious events in the city. He made sure we saw everything and got us back to our ship in good time.”

“When you book excursions like this one, you are really depending on a company to accurately pick you up from a ship at an exact time and get you back on time. Sadly, that was NOT our experience. After correctly filling out all of our information and even confirming with them the day before, we got off of our ship in Rome to no driver. We had also booked photos in Rome with a photographer so we all stood there in our nice clothes on the doc in a panic over where our driver could be. After wandering around I FINALLY got a bar of cell service enough to call…”

“Can not say enough good things about our experience with our Viator tour of Rome. We were picked up at the cruise port by Stefano Zanetti in a very nice Mercedes. During the tour, Stefano took us places where an NCL shore excursion bus could never go. Upon request, he briefly detoured off the main highway to show us the remanence of the Roman aqueduct. Stefano knew all the side streets, back alleys and places to park so our walk to the different attractions was always a short one versus having to walk blocks with 50+ people from a tour bus. He was VERY knowledgeable of Rome and its history,…”
