Christano was our driver and did an excellent job navigating the narrow traffic laden streets of Rome. We were able to see all of the “must see” sites and even added several more stops which enhanced our experience. If you have ever considered a private tour, I would say this company is well worth the cost. Would highly recommend.

Most amazing experience and private tour I have ever taken! Johnnie met us right off the ship and was immediately funny and personable. The drive into Rome, Johnnie entertained us with historical facts and stories that were so interesting. We were able to see so much with our driver dropping us off at each site, avoiding the crowds and picking us up right after. He took us to out of the way restaurants allowing us to enjoy a peaceful lunch away from the throngs of other tourists. He was absolutely perfect - helpful, accommodating and so knowledgeable. Then he took us to meet our private guide for the Vatican and Sistine Chapel. Maria whisked us right through the hoards of people and gave us a 2 1/2 hour tour of the Vatican. She had so much knowledge and was able to expertly guide us through the museums. This trip was the trip of a lifetime and our two guides had such a tremendous impact on making it absolutely worthwhile, perfect and informative. We plan to go back for a longer visit and hire the same guides to see the rest of the city. They were both outstanding and the company was fabulous. Can't wait to see them again. USE THIS COMPANY- you will not regret it.
