Ahmed was an amazing and fun guide during our golf cart tour of Rome. We were able to see all of the major sights and landmarks during our tour even with the enormous crowds. Ahmed was able to navigate the traffic and crowds safely while explaining the landmarks we were seeing. I would highly recommend Ahmed and this golf cart tour to anyone with limited time to experience Rome.

Good timely service. Very helpful. Great experience.
My husband and I had just finished a great tour with Maya Tours through the Vatican with our kids and grandkids. They all headed off in another direction, so we decided to take a golf cart tour. It was definitely worth the price! We have been to Rome multiple times, but never to the places that he took us! Several were different overviews of the city. He also gave us a tour and explained the history of each place. It was a very hot day, so he took us to a great gelato place! This tour stops at quite a lot of places, so you will see plenty and unique sites that you usually don't see.
Ahmad was the best tour guide we have ever had! We had a 4 hour golf cart tour of all of Rome! He was so knowledgeable and knowledgeable even customized our tour to what we wanted to do. We would have never seen all we did without this tour! He let us hop on and off for pictures anytime too! Make sure you ask for Ahmad when booking with Maya tours in Rom by the Vatican!
Ahmad was amazing. He gave great explanations of the places we visited. The personalised when we wanted to spend more time at certain stops - we requested a nice panini lunch spot and he took us to exactly what we wanted. He was very helpful to take extra stops to help with some extra needs. Thank you for a fantastic tour - we will be recommending this to anyone that asks for a great day your in Roma.
Very good experience to see the city overview
It was a great experience! Even though it was a last-minute request, they still managed to arrange everything and find the time and a guide to show me around, which I truly appreciated. Ahmed was very friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. He showed me around Rome, and the trip lasted almost four hours. I felt comfortable the entire time. Ahmed gave me plenty of time to explore, take pictures, and ask all the questions I wanted. We even enjoyed a nice coffee at one of the famous places, which made the experience even more special. The fee for the trip was reasonable, especially since it was a private tour. It was perfect for what I was looking for. I highly recommend this tour company — and Ahmed for sure — whether you’re traveling solo, with friends, family, or your spouse.
We had a fantastic experience with our guide Ahmed. My mother has limited mobility so this tour was fantastic, she got to see all the sites with very little walking required. I would highly recommend this tour
Ahmad was our tour guide, what can I say, he was FANTASTIC, Rome Dec 8th is a crazy day but Ahmad made sure we seen all the sights, gave us great history, but more importantly he tailored the tour for our 82yr old mother who has mobility issues. He is 100% top guide, speaks 4 languages. Thank you Ahmd
Our driver, Ahmed, was wonderful. The golf cart enabled us to access areas that were not possible by car. We have been to Rome four other times and saw things today we had not seen. I would highly recommend this. So fun!
It was the beat ride with alot of learning and thr best trip 100% worth the price!! So much fun we had plus our guide dropped us off ar our air bnb
Ahmad was our guide on a golf cart tour. We loved the tour of historical site in Rome. He spent quality time explaining the different sites, he took the time not to rush us through the experience and most importantly he drove the cart safely and we did not feel that we were at risk driving around in the crazy traffic in Rome.
Wonderful tour. Ahmad was excellent and insightful, and cared for the safety of my young kids. Best way to get an intro to Rome before investing precious hours (and foot pain!) on deeper dives at important sites. Thank you and well done!
Excellent experience, a real highlight for our family in our visit to Rome. We took an evening and the driver was friendly, knowledgeable on the history, and generous with his time showing us all the key locations. We really lucked out by finding this tour. Kids also loved being passengers and enjoying the city this way!
This was an amazing experience for our three generation family. Ahmad was an excellent guide tour, took us everywhere in Rome, gave us great insights of the city. Highly recommend it! It was a lot of fun for all of us!
Best tourist guide highly recommend you can see all best place with the help of Jash very polite dependable, patiently booked with Jash the right choice
This was the perfect way to get around and visit all of the main tourist sites when you are short on time. We highly recommend @mayatoursroma to escort you around town and make it special. Great staff. Very knowledgeable and friendly. We made a last minute decision after we did the tour of the Vatican and it was the smartest decision !! Thank you Maya Tours!
Paola was amazing( intelligent , funny and patient. I will definitely recommend her and ask for her next time. Her sim was to please and make sure that everyone was happy. A very careful driver on our golf cart! Very knowledgeable!
Paola was the best!! Would highly recommend this tour and her. This was the perfect way to see all of Rome. This tour is a must!!
My night tour was incredible. I have a degree in European history and my tour guide was so knowledgeable he put me to shame.
We had a wonderful city walk with Jan. He was a great tour guide and he shared with us his vast knowledge about Rome and it’s secrets. definitely recommend and would book tours with Jan again. 5 stars.
We had a nice time with tour guide Jan,for a morning walking tour. He can speak English, Italian and Czech. As we were a private group with special request, and Mey did a great job according to our schedule. Always nice choice.
Enjoyed this tour James our tour rep was very good and the atmosphere at night is just loverly in Rome with the night light.
An amazing place with lots to do and see. Stunning place, everything is amazing. Put it on your bucket list
We booked the tour through the men standing on the street however was shown the office and we wanted to see Rome at night, the walking tour was perfect! It was meant to be a group of us however just me and my partner and our fantastic tour guide Claudio who spoke very well English, had great knowledge of Rome and was great at recommending things to do/ places to eat as we were unsure being our first time in Rome. Rome is of course amazing lit up at night and to understand the history of was very interesting and not boring at all. Recommend this!
<p>Our guide was Claudio, an artist who passionately described the sculptures and history of fountains and historical landmarks. He was an excellent guide and very informative. It was our first night in Rome and it greatly increased our awareness of the treasures we would find in this glorious city. Wear comfortable walking shoes. This is not a leisurely stroll.</p>
<p>Claudio was THE BEST. His knowledge of Rome is insanely detailed. Our group was small enough to keep up and we got great tips with the history. This was our first day in Rome and could not imagine a better start.</p>
<p>We did this on the first night because I'd read other reviews that recommended doing that. It was great advice! After this tour we knew where we wanted to go back to on our own, what side streets to take, etc. Claudio was very informative and headed us in the direction of an excellent restaurant near Piazza Navona at the conclusion of the tour. LOTS of walking - over 4 miles!</p>
<p>This tour is a must if traveling to Rome- Rome is so different at night. Our guide, Claudio, was the best, very interesting and we learned a lot from him. We would not have taken away half as much if we had done the same tour on our own. Claudio's passion and love of this beautiful city helped us to see Rome in a very different light. Well worth the price.</p>
<p>This tour was the best! We had a luggage issue that we had to deal with and therefore only stayed for part of the tour. However, this tour was probably one of our family's favorite even with the reduced time! VERY knowledgeable and truly shared his passion and love for history with us. We would highly recommend this one!</p>
<p>One of the best.I strongly recommend Alfredo Noya. I enjoy tracking his adventures on social media. He is very talented and educated on the beautiful history as well!</p>
<p>Had read previous reviews about doing a walk by night tour on first evening in Rome. This one was great because it wasn't such a late start. It IS a great idea to do this tour in the first night in Rome because it gives you a great basic understanding of some major sites. Claudio was wonderful!</p>
<p>Alfred was absolutely brilliant. Charming and informative</p>
<p>Amazing!!! Our guide was so very educated with Roman history!! Could not have asked for anything better. Alfredo was amazing!!!</p>
<p>An excellent walking tour of Rome by night with our guide Alfonso Noye. He was excellent and certainly knew his Roman history throughout the ages. Took us to places that we as tourists would have simply passed by and also gave us a detailed background to the tourist sites such as the Trevi fountains, the Spanish steps, etc. All added to getting to know Rome and its marvellous historic past. Well worth investing in this trip and well worth the 2 hours plus walking with a very knowledgeable individual. Rate this tour very highly!! PS: wear sensible walking shoes!!</p>
<p>Our tour guide Mido was amazing .. lots of good information and sights to see around Rome .. its beautiful at night .. highly recommended!</p>
A truly fantastic tour of Rome! A beautiful experience that allowed us to discover the city through the eyes of those who live there every day. Ahmad made the tour even more special thanks to his stories, his knowledge, and his passion for Rome. An experience that I absolutely recommend!
I took a beautiful tour of Rome aboard a golf cart and was truly very satisfied! It was a pleasant and original way to see the city and discover many beautiful corners and places, even those that you might not be able to find on your own. Our guide, Ahmad, was excellent: super competent, kind, and helpful; he accompanied us throughout the route, telling us many interesting facts and showing us some truly beautiful places. You could tell that he knew Rome very well and that he had a great passion for what he did. It was a truly pleasant experience that I absolutely recommend to anyone who wants to visit Rome in a different, comfortable, and fun way. Definitely worth doing again!
Beautiful experience❤️ We took a tour of Rome and had a really great time. Everything organized to perfection, the guide was super kind, helpful, and knowledgeable. We saw many wonderful places and discovered interesting facts we didn't know. We had a great time! Highly recommended⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A nice experience to have. Ahmad was welcoming, helpful, and knowledgeable. He let us visit and "experience" enchanting places through his storytelling.
Simply excellent. Great guide, allowing you to explore Rome at your own pace, stopping at all the important and interesting places. Great tour. Highly recommended.
Our guide guided us safely and charmingly through narrow streets and to hidden highlights that we would never have found alone. Comfortable, flexible and perfect for anyone who wants to experience Rome intensely and stress-free – highly recommended. Rome at its best!
Today as a family we had a very good experience guided by Gabriel de Maya Tours. Excellent!!!! Very friendly and concerned in your explanations, in answering each of our queries. All fast and very fluid despite the large number of people. Highly recommended!!!
