If you are in Rome, Italy and you want to see the city unlike any other tour you will find, this is…read morethe way to go. Before our trip, my wife found the Rome 500 experience online while searching for things to do in Rome. She knows I love cars and that I love to drive and saw that this tour allows you to personally drive a vintage Fiat around as you follow your guide in his fiat. Traditionally, multiple groups are scheduled and a trail of 5 or 6 Bright colored Fiats follow the guide all through the city. On the morning we booked, my wife and I were the only group scheduled so we had a private tour and it was a really cool experience. Our guide Giorgio was Awesome! His English was good, and he was very knowledgeable on the history of Rome. During the tour, we went all around the city and saw many places that you traditionally would not see if on foot or by taking a bus tour. The vintage Fiats are a lot smaller than a traditional car, and we were amazed at the small alley ways we went through. You are given a handset radio (walkie-talkie) so you can communicate with your guide and hear about the history of each landmark/area you drive past. The guide will make many stops during your approximately 3 hour tour and allow you to get out, take pictures and share about the history of where you are at. As you make your way through the city, do not be surprised if you become a tourist attraction yourself. Being in the Vintage Fiats, many people took pictures and did a double take as we drove past. The experience was priceless and well worth the money spent. One thing to keep in mind is being able to drive a manual transmission. They are not automatic, and you will need a driver in your group that can drive "stick". It was an experience of a lifetime and I will definitely recommend this tour to friends and family traveling to Beautiful Rome.

He opened out eyes to so many things that We had no idea and made our trip so much more special! When we return to Rome we will spend another three hours with him or a tour! Even if we took the same tour again it would be special!

While we enjoyed…read moremany remarkable experiences, the highlight of our trip were the tours we booked with Marco Misano. We took his tours of the Jewish Ghetto, Ancient Rome, and Vatican. Marco's knowledge of these areas is unbelievable. There was no language barrier. He spoke in clear English (with a charming Italian accent). The tours were anything but dry history lectures. Marco brought ancient history alive and kept us, and our 3 sons (a toddler, a tween, and a young adult) fully engaged. Marco was a wonderful resource and offered much appreciated assistance beyond our scheduled tours. He seemed genuinely happy to make our trip run smoothly. Marco helped us save time and money by assisting with advanced ticket purchases to the Vatican, Forum, and Colosseum; He advised us on restaurants (even making recommendations on what to order!); He suggested museums and sites that we should visit; He put us in touch with a driver for airport transfers and even recommended a wonderful guide for a private tour in Florence. Having Marco show us Rome was like touring the city with an old (and extremely knowledgeable!) friend. Our only regret was not booking more tours with this fantastic guide, I cannot recommend Marco highly enough! You will not be disappointed!

Wanting to learn the history of our destination and maximize our time wisely, we found overome tours on google and were not disappointed with the service we received from start to finish.

Our second tour-the Vatican wonders tour with Salvatore did not disappoint! If we want to book more tours we will absolutely come back to this company!

Not only is he a tour guide born in Rome but he spent some time in the U.S. and was able to talk us about how the cultures vary and his English is perfect. He is also an architect so he was able to on give us some great facts that no other guide could. He stopped when we needed to stop and even showed us things that weren't even suppose to be on the tour. He made the day amazing and I'd highly recommend Overome.

Crown Tours is one of the most popular providers for Colosseum tours on GetYour Guide, with almost…read more75,000 ratings and a 4.7-star average for the Colosseum, Roman Forum & Palatine Hill Guided Tour. The company is clearly much less beloved on Yelp, but my experience more than met my 4.7-star expectations. The Colosseum tour package starts at $45 a person for a basic English language tour with a large group. We went a few tiers up for a small group tour with arena floor access, and this cost us a little over $100 each, and included all tickets and fees. It was easily worth the money. The tour added a ton of value to our day of sightseeing. We met our guide Andrei at the Crown Tours office and got set up with handy audio sets, so we could hear him clearly throughout the tour. We were a small group, something like eight of us, and it was easy to get around together. The tour was around two-and-a-half hours long and entailed a good deal of walking, none of it was particularly difficult. We started at the Forum, then went to Palatine Hill, and ended at the Colosseum. A manageable, logical itinerary. Andrei was an excellent guide, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The tour was deeply engaging and educational. What a treat to learn about the Colosseum while seated inside the arena. I gather from other reviews that not all guides are created equal, but we were very happy with Andrei. I can't speak to Crown's other offerings, but I'd highly recommend the Colosseum, Roman Forum & Palatine Hill Guided Tour. It's a wonderful way to enjoy these marvels of ancient Rome.

We all gathered 15 minutes before the tour began. We were a group of approximately 15 English speaking tourists from US, UK, Australia, and Denmark. It was a hot day, but our tour guide Emilia was fabulous. Made sure we avoided the hot sun and stayed hydrated. We could tell Emilia was very well versed in her knowledge of Art history, Architecture and spoke perfect English. She kept us well-informed and answered questions. Plus she was pregnant!

And they sat us in a very good spot for the Wednesday audience with the Pope. I would definitely recommend this company.

He is definitely highly recommended. He is an archaeologist as well so he had a lot of fascinating things to share with us. We actually ran into him on three separate occasions in Rome by chance and he was great to talk to each time. The Colosseum tour we took also included the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill (both even more fascinating than the Colosseum in my opinion). The Vatican tour was with Claudia and she was equally as knowledgeable and fun! She obviously knew the folks she needed to to get around in this massive complex without having to wait for anything. The "no-line" entry most tours get has lines here. She had the hookup to get us even past those lines. The tour starts through the Vatican Museum and it was very crowded at the time we were there. She fought to make room for us to get in front of the masses to get a close look at all the things she wanted us to see. It was great to see her genuinely care about our experience. Just about every other tour group we saw in this places had at least 30 people in them. Both tours we took with Real Rome Tours had less than 10. We all had an equal opportunity to experience these beautiful sights with great knowledgable folks who even stuck around to answer any questions we had. They also give great recommendations on restaurants and other places you need to see while in Rome. Gerard was also a pleasure dealing with while booking our tours. He is well organized and gave us a great alternative when we wanted to do the Colosseum Underground tour that wasn't available. It worked out perfectly for us. I couldn't recommend Real Rome Tours any more.
