Heidi's knowledge of ALL THINGS ROME was amazing. I felt like I was back at university and could ask her anything! She was more than patient with my two little ones that were hiking through the hot summer weather and she was a pleasant and lovely person. Highly recommend!

We had Magda as our guide. She was AMAZING!! As a former archaeologist, her enthusiasm describing the ruins of the Colosseum and surrounding area was evident from the very beginning. Her vast knowledge and description of the historical events painted a vivid picture of what was transpiring. She took her time and never rushed. My wife and I were so appreciative of the experience, I highly recommend you take a guided tour and I hope your lucky enough to have Magda as your guide!

I highly recommend every aspect of Real Rome Tours. I started dealing with Gerard months before our trip to Rome, I was looking to book tours for the Colosseum Underground and the Vatican for a large group (20-25). Immediately. Gerard said that they could definitely accommodate us for the Vatican, but that a group our size would have incredible difficulty booking the Underground Colosseum tour based on The way the Colosseum releases the tickets. He was upfront and honest, and some members of our group that felt strongly about the “underground” booked separately with another company and, just as Gerard predicted, their tour with a different company was cancelled 2 days prior. Heidi was our very lovely and informative guide for the Vatican Tour. There was constant communication from Gerard the morning of our tour until he knew that we successfully found Heidi and we’re on our way. The beauty of the Vatican speaks for its self, but we loved our time with Heidi and her vast knowledge. This is how a tour company should be...

Fantastic experience. From the beginning, the company worked with me to customize the tour I wanted, while paying attention to all of the little details. Our tour guide, Max, came so prepared that my wife and I were blown away in the first 20 minutes. I am a historian specializing in ancient Rome and I was still learning from Max through the whole tour. My wife, who doesn't know much about history, still very much enjoyed listening to Max. Highly recommend these guys and I will be using their service next time I'm back.

Absolutely incredible private tour of the Colosseum and Underground, and Roman Forum with Max, our tour guide. Despite the sweltering heat, he was patient and kind enough to spend over four hours with us, treating us to a history lesson that spanned from Ancient Rome to Mussolini's Italy and WWII. Max made sure we were hydrated and comfortable throughout and answered every question with an encyclopedic knowledge of events. Totally worth your time to book this tour and request Max, if you're lucky! A highlight of our time in Rome, for sure. Thank you to Gerard for clear, upfront information and great communication, too. Such a pleasure.
