We had a fantastic time on the Rome on a Golf Cart Semi-Private Tour with LivTours, guided by…read moreChris. He was personable, clear in his explanations, and attentive to our needs throughout the tour. What made it especially memorable was how he connected with our kids--getting them excited about gelato was a fun touch that they still talk about! The golf cart was a lifesaver, making it easy to visit several sites that would have been impossible to reach with a 5-year-old and 2-year-old in tow. We even opted for the cart to pick us up from the hotel so it was seamless from beginning to end. The car seat for our youngest was clutch. Actually the ride was so soothing that our 2 year old fell asleep for part of the trip. Chris also introduced us to the Roman Orange Garden, a peaceful spot we'd never have found on our own. While many sites in Rome are walkable, this tour gave us the freedom to explore comfortably as a family, and we truly appreciated the balance of convenience and insight. If you are someone who love to do all the research ahead of time, then maybe this tour is too surface level for you. I would recommend a more targeted tour for the Coliseum or Vatican City. Otherwise, I'd highly recommend LivTours--and especially Chris--for families looking for an stress-free way to experience Rome.

(Night Time Vatican Tour)…read more We really enjoyed the Vatican, but felt like our guide was rushing us while we were walking through. But the Vatican is big, so we assumed she wanted to show us other portions of the grounds. Our tour was supposed to go until 8 PM, but she ended things at 7 PM. She said we could walk back into the last wing of the museum to see things on our own but security would not allow us to walk back in. We spent seconds / maybe minutes, looking at whole sections of art. She left almost no time to stand and look at things, everything was "ok let's keep going". Although we still enjoyed things, we definitely left extremely disappointed given the cost of the experience. (We paid 318€ for two people to tour - 60€ was the cost of the tickets, so 258€ was the cost of the tour guide.

Our guide was incredibly knowledgable about Rome and the islands and was super fun and interesting. We had spent so much time in the city during our ten day trip and I can honestly say that ITER tours tour to Ponza and Palmerola was one of my most treasured memories from the whole trip.

We were able to see so much so quickly and Georgia shared stories and history along the way. When the tour was done, we asked to be dropped off not at our hotel, but someplace further away. Giorgia shared with us her absolute favorite place for lunch and dropped us there at our request - it was perfect and such a good use of our time in Rome.

"My 4 siblings and I just returned from taking our 83 year old mother on her dream trip to Italy…read more She wanted to experience Rome, Venice, Sorrento, and Capri in just a short 12 day vacation window. One would think this would be quite a challenge with these destinations being far apart, especially with the needs of an aging parent. Casa Mia Tours took this challenge head on. Gina, Eleanora and Carolyn gave so much of their time to consult with us about every detail: must see's, train itineraries and tickets, personal van transfer services, restaurants recommendations and reservations, personal tour guides, wine and food tours/tastings, ferry schedules, best spots for desserts and espresso, best walking and shopping neighborhoods, and so much more. Casa Mia Tours created a detailed itinerary for each day of our trip- from where we might want to eat to the schedule of our trains rides and van pick up to our tours for the day. Once we got to Italy, Casa Mia was available to lend a hand in any way to help make our experience as enjoyable as possible. They even helped with an unexpected trip to the ER with our mom! The personalized service from Casa Mia Tours is top notch, 5 stars, the best! Our family memories of this once-in-a-lifetime trip will be with us all forever. Thank you, Casa Mia Tours (Carolyn, Eleanora and Gina) for making this dream trip a reality for all of us, especially our mom. "

If you are planning a trip to Italy, you must consult with Casa Mia and arrange as many activities…read morewith them as possible. They are a one stop shop for everything including food itineraries, cooking classes, food tours and experiences. The thing I love most about this company is that they take time to listen to what you're looking for and cater to exactly what you want. I have taken 2 food tours with Gina and she is extremely knowledgeable and was able to take us to some of the best places for coffee, sweets, cheese, wine, snacks and pizza in Rome. She also booked us dinner reservations at places that are authentic and difficult to reserve. You will never find yourself at a tourist trap as long as you consult with Casa Mia. We also booked a private transfer from the Naples train station to our hotel in Sorrento with them and their driver was on time, easy to locate and extremely friendly. I took a private cooking class in Sorrento with Marcella in her home and it was the best lesson I have ever taken. I learned how to make delicious food and after the lesson, my family joined us to eat the meal we prepared in one of the most beautiful homes I've ever seen in my life. We took a private tour of the Amalfi coast and our driver took us to so many beautiful cities. He made us lunch reservations at a restaurant with the most stunning views of Amalfi that served food created with ingredients grown in their private organic garden located below the restaurant. At each stop, he provided us with recommendations of where to visit in each town. Casa Mia also provided us with recommendations of places to buy food souvenirs, find artisanal gelato, tasty street food and pizzerias in each city we have visited. Do not plan a trip to Italy without consulting with these experts. They will help make sure you have the best time in the most beautiful country in the world. If you are not planning a trip to Italy in the near future, I also highly recommend their online cooking classes. I took many of them during the lockdown in 2020 and learned how to make delicious meals for my family.

My family learned more than how to cook, we learned what to cook (and when!) and history behind Roman dishes. Chef Andrea is so passionate about his craft and it was contagious because my family talks about how this experience was one of the best we've ever had as a family and in Rome itself. Be open to talking and sharing time - the human connection is essential to cooking. Don't do those tacky tourist places please!!!!! This is why you started looking for a cooking class. I promise you will write just as stellar a review as I have. Chef Andrea, if you are reading this, my family in Miami, FL can't stop talking about the best artichokes and chicken they have ever had. Thank you for making my family have this shared memory that will last a lifetime.

Nice way to relax and see a big city such as Rome.

We used Rolando for three separate days in our stay in Rome. On day one he unfortunately had to…read morestay home with a sick daughter but he sent us a very professional driver by the name of Domenico. We used Domenico for a day trip to Florence. We were picked up in a clean huge Mercedes passenger van. Domenico was pleasant to talk to but I had a sense he was more of a reserved person. He did answer questions and make suggestions though when asked. This was charged at a flat rate. Our second scheduled day Rolando was able to make it. This was a day in Rome where we wanted him to essentially chauffeur us through various religious sites. We gave him a list and depending on time he figured out the best way to see what we could. He would literally drop us off in front of any site and wait for us. This was pretty helpful as some of the churches were a bit far from where we were staying in Rome and we would have been zigzagging on public transportation in sweltering June heat. The comfortable air conditioned MBZ minivan was so much easier. Rolando suggested an awesome lunch at La Carbonara (see review). This day was charged at an hourly rate. Our third day was a last minute addition. He had a cancellation so we decided to have Rolando bring us to the Umbria region where there were medieval towns. This included stopping at Assisi, Civita, and Orvieto. These were magnificent to visit. Again Rolando suggested an awesome place to eat in Assisi. This was charged at a flat rate. Rolando takes pride in his vehicles keeping them clean. He stocks them with water for you and the vehicle is WIFI equipped. Rolando is very personable. He gave unsolicited information about places we were passing by so we had not just a driver but a tour guide. I totally recommend him!
