We travelled with our boys (16 & 13) from the cruise ship for a day with Gilberto in Rome. The advice and support we received from Gilberto and Julia from his team beforehand was excellent. We agreed in advance when to book which sightseeing tours so that the programme could be worked through well.
The day with Gilberto was wonderful and we learnt a lot about Rome. Gilberto explained everything important about the city and its history in the best German during the trip. Thanks to his licence, we were able to drive right through the narrowest streets to the sights. Thanks to the free water provided in the car, we were able to withstand the 38 degree temperatures. We visited many of the city's important sights in 7 hours: Victorianum (at the top on the viewing terrace), Colloseum, Forum Romanum, Pantheon (all from the inside), Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, St Peter's Basilica from the inside and the Pope's tombs. In between, Gilberto recommended a great restaurant for a Roman lunch.
On the way back to the ship we were tired but super happy!
Thank you dear Gilberto for a wonderful day :)
