Very customizable to what we hadn’t seen and areas he knew of off the beaten path. Our guide Andrew’s so full of knowledge. We have been dining at a few of his suggestions for some of our best meals.

Itinerary
Overview. Your tour guide will give you all the information from the outside of the most famous ancient monument of Rome.
It is the best-preserved of all Ancient Roman buildings. It has been in continuous use throughout its history and, since the 7th century it is a church dedicated to St. Mary and the Martyrs. The price of the tickets is Eur 7,00 per person cash
The monumental stairway of 174 steps built by French diplomat Étienne Gueffier’s bequeathed funds of 20,000 scudi, in 1726 linking the Bourbon Spanish Embassy, and the Trinità dei Monti church that was under the patronage of the Bourbon kings of France, both located above to the Holy See in Palazzo Monaldeschi located below. The stairway was designed by architects Francesco de Sanctis and Alessandro Specchi.
The largest Baroque fountain in the city and one of the most famous fountains in the world. It was designed by Italian architect Nicola Salvi.
The open space which lies before the basilica was redesigned by Gian Lorenzo Bernini from 1656 to 1667, under the direction of Pope Alexander VII, as an appropriate forecourt, designed "so that the greatest number of people could see the Pope give his blessing, either from the middle of the façade of the church or from a window in the Vatican Palace" Bernini had been working on the interior of St. Peter's for decades; now he gave order to the space with his renowned colonnades, using a simplified Doric order, to avoid competing with the palace-like façade by Carlo Maderno, but he employed it on an unprecedented colossal scale to suit the space and evoke a sense of awe.
One of the most beautiful squares in Rome and Europe built on the site of the Stadium of Domitian (1st Century AD). Piazza Navona was transformed into a highly significant example of Baroque Roman architecture and art during the pontificate of Innocent X, who reigned from 1644.
Piazza Venezia is the central hub of Rome, Italy, in which several thoroughfares intersect, including the Via dei Fori Imperiali and the Via del Corso. It takes its name from the Palazzo Venezia, built by the Venetian Cardinal, Pietro Barbo (later Pope Paul II) alongside the church of Saint Mark, the patron saint of Venice. The Palazzo Venezia served as the embassy of the Republic of Venice in Rome.
The most important of the famous seven hills of Rome. From its top you can admire the square designed by Michelangelo for Pope Paul III. You will also be able to see the entire ancient area of the Roman forums with its temples and basilicas.
Via del Corso is a well-known historic street in the center of Rome that connects Piazza Venezia to Piazza del Popolo and measures approximately 1.6 kilometers. It is the central artery of the road complex known as Trident.
The Circus Maximus is an ancient Roman chariot-racing stadium and mass entertainment venue in Rome, Italy. In the valley between the Aventine and Palatine hills, it was the first and largest stadium in ancient Rome and its later Empire
Piazza del Popolo is a large urban square in Rome. The name in modern Italian literally means "People's Square", but historically it derives from the poplars (populus in Latin, pioppo in Italian) after which the church of Santa Maria del Popolo, in the northeast corner of the piazza, takes its name. The piazza lies inside the northern gate in the Aurelian Walls, once the Porta Flaminia of ancient Rome, and now called the Porta del Popolo. This was the starting point of the Via Flaminia, the road to Ariminum (modern-day Rimini) and the most important route to the north. At the same time, before the age of railroads, it was the traveller's first view of Rome upon arrival. For centuries, the Piazza del Popolo was a place for public executions, the last of which took place in 1826.

Our guide Andreas was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. He went over and above to make sure we were comfortable and saw everything we wanted to see. We were initially disappointed that a golf cart was not possible as planned but the van was very comfortable and we enjoyed the tour.
Excellent ! Hit all of the highlights and more of Rome! Would recommend. Great for all ages. Great driver
This is the way to see Rome. Way less walking and our tour guide Aundrea was amazing . He gave us so much information and also showed us so much . I would highly recommend
Our driver Andrea was knowledgeable, charming, and entertaining. Our 3-hour tour included the spots we asked to see and some of his hidden favorites tourists wouldn't know to seek out. Navigating Rome at the height of tourist season, and in record heat, made being a tourist so much easier in his golf cart.
Due to rain chances we opted for an enclosed ride in a comfortable Mercedes van. Driver and van (Belvedere tours) were excellent. Compared notes with a friend who took the golf cart and smoother ride plus better sound quality for hearing the guide told us we chose the right transportation that day.
This was a great experience that allowed us to customize what we wanted to do and see. Nikola was the tour guide while Andrea (i might have that wrong) was the driver. They were both very accommodating and friendly and we were very happy with our overall experience. Nikola was a wealth of information, which made it even better that we were able to learn so much about the history as well as ask questions my in-laws and husband were very fond of this set up.
We are very happy to do 3 hours private tour. We only had 2 & half days to enjoy at Rome. My hubby has problem to walk. So very quick way to 3 hours to must see Rome places chose from this company. Pick up us at hotel, should be 9am, we were 10 minutes earlier than 9am. Young man( from us.) Mr. Andre was already at front of hotel waiting for us. What a nice start!! He asked our schedule and where we wanted to see. So he adjusted for us. Cause few places are we plan to visit after this tour. And Operator’s info was driver won’t guide. So I thought will be very quiet ride, no information at all, but Mr. Andre speaks perfect English, and he gave us a lot of information about Rome & History! He may not have licensed?? but a lot of knowledge of Rome! Very good surprised!! We really had good time! And many to see and took pics!! We couldn’t do this without Mr.Andre. Also before this tour stated date I sent many times questions Operators responded my questions each time quickly! That’s important point to use this company, too! We are Very happy to choose this company. Thank you for Mr.Andre good taking care of us. Also quick answered Operators!! We Love this tour and recommend!!!
I can’t say enough about how fantastic these folks are! So knowledgeable and so kind. They saved my trip and made it so easy to see all of Rome! Literally they too us to every beautiful place and we got to see Rome from a true Roman . We went to places off the beaten path that we never knew about. Ask for Nicola and Lorena you will not regret it!
Our guide Andrea was very knowledgeable and friendly. He knew all the right places to take us for the absolute best photo opportunities. He taught us a bit of Italian and we taught him a bit of English! An absolute MUST tour if you are in Rome.
THE best way to see Rome. We had the best driver and tour guide, Sabrina. She was soooo wonderful! One of the best things we did! Do i! Worth it!
Learning about the history of Rome. The guides were very knowledgeable, polite and accommodating. We were able to see a lot in 3 hrs
Our tour guide planned the itinerary according to our requests. She was very kind and knowledgeable! The driver was also very accommodating. Best memories!!!
Nicola was an amazing tour guide for our one-day tour of Rome. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the city's history and was able to share it with us in a way that was both informative and entertaining. He was also very passionate about the city and his enthusiasm was contagious. In addition to his knowledge and passion, Nicola was also very accommodating. He was willing to adjust our itinerary to fit our interests and time constraints. He also made sure that we were always comfortable and well-hydrated. Overall, Nicola was an excellent tour guide and I would highly recommend him to anyone visiting Rome. He made our one-day tour unforgettable.
Our driver Marco was amazing and Valentina our guide was incredible. They showed us the best parts of Rome that only locals would know about!
When I was first going through the different tours and which one to decide on I decided to go with a private tour. I figured if I am traveling all the way to another country I may as well pay for a tour where I could have a personal experience where the tour was catered to what I wanted to see and at a pace I wanted to move at. Yes it costs more but you get what you pay for and I will say Limousine Services in Italy not only delivered but went above and beyond. They were so good that we booked them again for another day. The first day we had Nicola, and he was great, very well knowledge about the history of Rome and I loved the passion he had when he would talk about the ingenuity behind the ancient Roman structures. He showed us around Rome visiting sites like the Trevi Fountain, Piazza De Navona, the Colosseum, the Pantheon and the Spanish Steps. We even got to experience seeing some catacombs which was amazing as we never would have thought to do that on our own. The second day we had Alessandra and she was just as amazing, very lively, fun and friendly. She took us around the Vatican showing us the museum, St Peter's Basilica and the Sistine Chapel. In addition to that she took us to the Malta Villa Magistrale where we got to see a pretty amazing spectacle which we never would have heard about let alone think of going to. We also visited the Basilica of Saint Clement another location we never would have visited and got to see just how deep layers of Rome were. We had our own vehicle which really helped during the intense heat that was happening during our visit. They also provided us water to make sure we were hydrated the entire time. It was nice to have our own vehicle that we had to ourselves that would take us to various sites, the tour was also catered to things we wanted to see along with places that both Alessandra and Nicola thought we would enjoy. Lunch was not provided however they took us to some amazing Italian restaurants (again this was based on what sort of food we wanted to eat) and helped order for us to make sure we got to experience an amazing meal. I would highly recommend this tour and Limousine Services in Italy in general as they made our first visit to Rome a memorable one and really made us feel welcomed. If you are traveling to Rome for the first time and you want to make the most of your experience I would recommend going with Limousine Service. Yes they cost more than a group tour but you get what you pay for and if you are traveling a while away to experience a new place you have never visited, then what you gain in experience, convenience and memories is very much worth it.
We arrived FCO early but Nicola quickly collected us and introduced us to our guide, Alessandra. She was very knowledgeable accommodating and agile. Definitely one of the best guides we have ever had. Special arrangements for Marco to drive us to Civitavecchia to board our cruise. These guys went above what was expected. Will use them exclusively for our next Italian vacation
Our group of eight had an amazing time ,worth the 8hrs tour ,Alessandra, Nick and Maurizio from LIMOUSINE SERVICE IN ITALY made our day extra special by delivering Superior Customer Service !! Will definitely use LIMOUSINE SERVICE IN ITALY again and highly recommend for everyone else !!
This private tour was great! Thank you for an amazing tour of Rome and my lifelong dream of visiting the Vatican!
Words can't express how amazing this tour was! Nicola, our guide, blew us away with his knowledge and passion for Rome and its amazing history. He had every minute of our private tour set up perfectly. Both he and our driver Stefano gave us an unforgettable journey through Rome. I can't wait to travel back there so we can do it again!!
Had the most amazing day! Stefano was a great driver and Nicola, our guide had excellent knowledge of the history of Rome. A very entertaining day. Would definitely recommend these guys.
This was the best decision we took in Rome. We only had two days and had limited time to see all the sights. Luca and Sergio were the best guides one could ask for. They had answers to all our questions and it is amazing how much they knew about Rome. Some guides are just guides and some guides you could see yourself being friends with. Luca and Sergio are the latter. They are highly recommended! Congratulations and good luck with the baby Luca!
Great tour!!! What a way to see Rome, our tour guide was extremely knowledge and the driver super friendly and professional. We loved their company so much we treated them to lunch at a great little Italian cafe. My daughter has gluten allergies and they went above and beyond to accommodate her dietary needs. Highly recommend - we learned so much about Rome that day.
The tour was a great way to spend time in Rome! It was perfectly suited for my family, as we had already seen some of the major sites in Rome, we asked to see some of the less common ones. Laura was very knowledgable on all the sites and our driver was great! Would recommend to anyone wanting a tour of Rome without the lines and without the stress.
