We wished we could see Pope Francis but we could never expected we could see him so closely thanks to Rossana great effort. Rossana and our driver Luigi are both great persons and the visit to the Pope very well organized. They both were professional, supportive, engaging and very helpful. Rossana took really a great effort to make the visit tailored to our needs and she had great sense of humour. Big thanks to R and L. We would highly recommend this tour.

We loved this game!!! It was a really good way to explore Rome and learn some of its history. It was easy to follow, a few translation issues but common sense helps. A word of advice, don’t forget that ladies need shoulders covered to enter the churches. Highly recommend this app game!

We booked this private family guided tour of the site of Ostia Antica for the third day of our 4-day visit to Rome. My husband and I and our four children thoroughly enjoyed the very interesting tour by Stefania (a highly experienced tour guide with a phd in history and a vast, impressive knowledge in the field). Not only did she provide fascinating information to my husband and myself, but she made the tour fun and interactive for the children (aged between 14 and 9). The site of Ostia Antica is absolutely incredible, providing a good insight into daily life of a Roman city in the old times. Having an experienced and articulate guide like Stefania makes all the difference and is a worthwhile spend to got the most out of the visit. Stefania happily overextended the 1,5 hour tour time to provide us with some extra insights and information. Take the train from Porta San Paolo in Rome, the journey is a mere 1,50 euros and lasts about 25-30 minutes. The site is also excellent to beat the crowds (even in non-covid days) as it is all open air and fringed with beautiful big old trees. We caught the train again at Ostia Antica and continued onto the beachside to have an excellent lunch.

What a fabulous afternoon! Andrea was an excellent guide, knowledgeable, friendly, and great with my granddaughters (age 3 and 6). We had perfect weather and, unlike another reviewer, found the cushioned seats quite comfortable. My sister and I have mobility issues and this was perfect for us. Loved that Andrea adjusted our stops and time stopped according to what was important to us. He took a few photos of us all that we will treasure. I would definitely take this tour again!! ❤️

We made a last minute booking with Rolling Rome as they were the only tour that was taking booking on same day. Our tour guide was Eugene and he was brilliant. Very knowledgeable about the city. He was very calm and put us at ease. We stopped off at a lovely cafe called Santeo for a cappuccino. There were many opportunities to take photos and Eugene was more than happy to oblige! I would highly recommend using Rolling Rome and Eugene as a guide.
