    We really enjoyed our visit with Paolo who leads his visit well and is very educational. He knows how to make the visit exciting. Line skippers save us invaluable time! We recommend.

    What an incredible tour and guide! Romina told us fascinating details, was a great storyteller. We learned things we never would have seen or known. She made our trip incredibly special. We can't recommend Rome Private Guides enough. It was actually our third tour in three days, and each one was the absolute highlight of our trip (or any trips ever. I don't usually post reviews, but seriously, it was just stellar.

    J’ai eu la chance inouïe d’effectuer une visite guidée privée avec Marina. Compétente, cultivée et dynamique, elle a enrichi cette découverte d’anecdotes surprenantes tout en donnant un panorama élargi des splendeurs romaines. Je la remercie sincèrement pour cette première à Rome d’avoir concouru à donner une très belle image de la cité millénaire et je la recommande vivement.
