Giovanni and Maurizio are excellent tour guides!! I can not say enough good things about them. My 2 sisters and I made our 1st trip to Rome it was incredible. We were awestruck at everything we saw. Our tours were tailor-made to our request and it was just the 3 of us. We took 3 different tours with Roads to Rome and they were all amazing. We never waited in lines, got right into every attraction. Giovanni and Maurizio took great care of us and we will never forget them and our wonderful time in Rome. If you are planning a trip to Rome you MUST contact them. You will not be disappointed!!!

This is a first-class company!!! Both Giovanni and Maurizio are professional, entertaining, knowledgeable, personable, easy-going and very cool!!! These guys are amazing, their tours are first-rate and educational !!, They went over and beyond to satisfy and meet all our specific needs and requests. Giovanni and Maurizio literally worked overtime to coordinate and set up FOUR custom tours, for my family and my sister’s family over a three day period. They left no stone unturned, We didn’t have to worry about anything, they took care of every little detail.They responded to my numerous emails quickly and were a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Roads to Rome Private Tours. They will take great care of you and you will get a memorable, incredibly interesting and quality tour!!

We had a fabulous time with Giovanni exploring the UNESCO World Heritage sites Villa Adriana and Villa D’Este. Having his archaeologist perspective made the visit richer, imbuing substance and historical accuracy to the aesthetic appeal of the sites. Definitely, go with Roads to Rome for a unique experience!

We are a family of five and enjoyed two wonderful days with our guide Tiziana. She was so sweet and very knowledgeable! Each day we were picked up by a driver in nice clean SUVs and brought to our destination. We went to Tivoli on the first day and visited Villa d”Este and Hadrian’s Villa. You couldn’t possibly get all the information about either of these two attractions from a guide book and/or internet searches. It took years of learning and loving archeology from Tiziana that truly brought these places to life. On the second day, we visited Castel Gandolfo, Frascati, and Nemi. We toured the summer residence of the Pope, only recently opened to the public…so interesting! Nemi is a charming little town noted for its creations with strawberries. Each day we stopped for lunch at great restaurants. Roads to Rome responded quickly to my initial inquiries. Their pricing is very fair. One small note: we especially appreciated the bottled water that our driver, Maurizio brought us on the second day.

We took 3 private tours from Roads to Rome: Rome in a Day, Pompei and Positano, and Florence in a Day. I wish I could give more than 5 stars because I’ve never experienced tours at this level. Our tour guide for Rome was led by a very personable guide named Giovanni who was more than qualified because he was an archeologist! Our Pompeii and Positano tour was led by Kylie who is an anthropologist. Emilia led our tour of Florence. She is an Art History major and very passionate about her home city. She made every art piece come alive for us. I was actually brought to tears. With this tour company, you aren’t getting a guide who memorized a script for your enjoyment. You are getting experts in each field. In addition, each guide has a warm and engaging personality day.

This is the 5th year (maybe more) that we have had the opportunity to use Roads to Rome for our university group. This year our guides were Maurizio and Siriana. Both were extremely knowledgable, fun, personable and easy-going (in a very busy city). If you are looking for the best, use Roads to Rome, period. Don’t go anywhere else!! Thank you Maurizio and Siriana!!!!

Maurizio was our tour guide and was wonderful, knowledgeable about the sites, kept a really good pace for us, and somewhat of a celebrity among other tour guides. I had been to Rome before but had not done a tour of the historic sites. I’m so glad we went with Roads to Rome. I felt like a local was giving me the secrets of the city (and he was!). The tour felt highly personalized and not part of a corporate company that ushers you in and out of a site. If you want a private tour- this is the way to go.

My wife and I were fortunate to spend our 35th wedding anniversary in Europe. Specifically, Italy, France, and Spain. Our tour guide from Roads to Rome, Maurizio, was absolutely spectacular!! His historical explanations of all the sites visited were amazing. While we had guides while in France and Spain, they did not measure up to our experience with Roads to Rome and Maurizio. We have already begun to refer Roads to Rome with our friends and family.

The excellent reviews reflect the service and experience. From start to finish we loved Giovanni and Roads to Rome. I sent an email stating which yours we were interested in and our dates and Giovanni replied that night with an itinerary. I paid the next day via a PayPal link and it was done! Easy.
We did four tours in three days and our teenagers say they would not have done so much without Giovanni who made it fun, and easy to take in so much information.In fact his next career should be teaching! The Colosseum, Forum and Vatican are a must of course, but we all loved the Under Rome Tour. Giovanni bought to life the daily lives of ancient Romans amidst the complex layers of buildings detailing the historical and social contexts. Loved it all! Plus the restaurant recommendations and gelato stops were also first class.

Maurizio was awesome during our planning stages. He made recommendations and he reached out to reassure us his guide would be waiting for us in Civitavecchia. He paired us with Beatriz who was AMAZING. She has so much knowledge, and she is excited and happy to share. Bea also took us to an AWESOME restaurant, an experience we will not likely forget any time soon. The BEST pasta we have ever had.
When we go back to Rome, we are requesting BEA! Thank you for an amazing day

We had a limited window in which we could see the Vatican. On communicating through the website with Roads To Rome, we chose the early morning guided tour. We were lucky to have Maurizio as our guide as his experience and passion for the information made this an excellent decision. As a trained archaeologist his perspective and delivery were personalized to our questions. I would highly recommend R to R to anyone and especially North Americans. Thank you Maurizio, thank you Roads to Rome for an amazing morning.
