This tour was fantastic! Erturk was our guide and he was so knowledgeable, patient and clear with all his instructions. He even had some humour in there. I would highly recommend this tour, such a good way to see Rome when you have limited time.

Maria we couldn’t have done it without you!

Our guide Enza saw was full of energy and full of knowledge and stories about each of the places we visited. She made our trip to the Vatican and the Colosseum and places in between exceptionally enjoyable and stress-free. In fact, I really can’t imagine having to navigate those places without a well experienced and patient guide. She also had a great sense of humor. She was the kind of person that if I lived in Rome, I would make sure to stay in touch with her. I can highly recommend a tour with Enza! Thank you Enza on behalf of our whole group!

This tour was awesome! Our guide Erturk was exceptional, he is honestly like a walking encyclopedia. Erturk gave us an invaluable insight into all the sites on the tour and it was not rushed. Thank you so much Erturk for a wonderful experience we will never forget.

Excellent guide, not the company fault that Rome was very crowded at this time of year. Guide was thorough, well disciplined and small group had no issues. Also, excellent recommendation for lunch. Sorry the Pantheon interior was not included but that was beyond company control. I would recommend this agency.

Wow! What a fantastic tour. The tour started at the Vatican, made its way towards the Trevi fountain and ended at the coliseum. We were expecting a great tour but our guide was above and beyond. She was so knowledgeable and spent the perfect amount of time at each location. Would absolutely do any tour that is led by this guide! Highly recommend. This is the best way to do Rome in a day!

Fantastic Tour!

We had an absolutely fantastic and jammed pack tour with Erturk. He was entertaining, enthusiastic, and incredibly knowledgeable about every stop. The “Rome in a day” tour hit all the major stops and gave a great introduction to the city. Highly recommend this tour, guide, and company.

Our tour guide was Erturk. His tour guide skills were topnotch. He made it fun to listen to the long and complex history of Rome. There were 11 of us, 2 of whom were 13 and 10 years old and he was able to hold their attention for the whole duration of the tour. The Vatican, the colosseum, and Rome in general has such rich lore that we suggest diving into the surface with Erturk.

Would highly recommend!

We had one day to spend in Rome after a cruise, and found Rome in a day by the Tour Guy! It was perfect! Alba our tour guide was wonderful, very attentive to all, especially an older lady who she would find places for her to sit, and a family with 3 school age children keeping them involved! Couldn't have asked for more all around.

Paola was a wonderful tour guide so much information and knowledge of everything we saw in Rome. We enjoyed it she was great. What upset me was the company charged us for the Fontana di Trevi and the Pantheon and all we did was look at it not able to go into both. That was upsetting because I had paid in advance.

Great Day!

We started early in the morning at the designated area that was detailed and oriented well. We checked in and were placed in the corresponding group. We met our Host, Monica and started our tour. Monica is well versed on all that we covered throughout the day with the history of Rome and also some cool tidbits of information that may not be found in history books. Monica kept the group well organized, timed and accounted for. Her timing throughout the day was spot on from entry into the Vatican all the way to timing lunch perfectly. I would definitely recommend “The Tour Guy” and absolutely recommend “Monica” as a guide.

Rome in a day, amazing!

First time in Rome, so my husband and I decided to book a tour and we came upon the RomanTour guy through their YouTube videos that were so informative and relevant to what we wanted to see in our trip. The booking process was a breeze and the instructions of where to meet and what to expect were clear. Our tour guide Roberta was kind, patient and very knowledgeable through the whole tour. Bathroom breaks were provided which was great! Snack opportunities as well. We began with the Vatican museums, continued to the Sistine Chapel and made our way to the breath taking St. Peter Basilica. Then continued with our walking tour of Rome which ends in the amazing Colosseo one of our favorite parts. They provide a headphone through the tour where Roberta was able to communicate with us the information while guiding us. Which was great to keep up and hear Roberta explain in detail what we were seeing. All in all, highly recommend this tour!

Excellent way to see Rome!

We loved our Rome in a Day tour with Faby! With limited time in the city, we wanted to make the most of our visit and this did it. Highly recommend if you want to see all the highlights but not be worried about how to navigate on your own. Faby was an amazing tour guide with so much knowledge and a fun personality!

This was an absolutely wonderful tour! It covered all the major highlights that everyone wants to see when in Rome. And Maria was a fabulous guide! She was a wealth of information about Rome, being Roman herself, and provided us with historical information that was interesting and not dry the way history can be sometimes if not presented properly. She also had a number of visual presentations that she used which helped make concepts very clear. Maria shared a few personal anecdotes, encouraged questions, remembered all group members’ names, and kept us all together and on time. Her warm, funny and exuberant personality made her a joy to spend the whole day with. Five star tour all the way.
