Hands down, the best tour we’ve taken in Rome. Real Rome Tours was personal, communicating in a friendly thorough text with all the meet up info. Vincenzo was great! He is a such a great teacher about the history of the Colosseum, Palantine Hill, and the Forum. He took care of us, directing for best photo ops too. Thoroughly enjoyed this VIP Colosseum Underground and Ancient Rome Tour.

We took the underground colosseum tour and we were able to be the first to enter, it was a great way to see this landmark. The guide was very informative and we had a great time walking around and hearing about the history of the sites.

Heidi our tour guide was outstanding. All information given prior to the tour was exceptional very clear and left nothing of concern prior to meeting up. The tour was informative and ran at a really good pace. This was booked for my wife’s birthday which was on the day we took the tour and it made her trip and birthday, an exceptionally memorable one. When we came out of the Colosseum, the tour owner was there with a small gift and a handshake which went down exceptionally well. Will use this company again for personal and business trips. Thanks

Real Rome Tours was awesome! Heidi gave us amazing walking tours of Rome including the Colosseum, Forum, and all the best highlights. Her knowledge, communication skills, patience, and passion for the subject matter were all top notch. I highly recommend the Colosseum Underground and full day walking tour of Rome with Real Rome Tours. It really brought Rome and it’s history to life for us including our teenage kids.

Real Rome Tours

We had a private tour of the Vatican Museum and St. Peter’s Basilica. Our guide, Heidi, was fantastic! Everything was very easy for us and ran smoothly. Heidi’s historical knowledge was impressive and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Heidi asked us for our interests and let us choose certain things to see. I believe she tailored some of the time according to our conversations and reactions. She hit the nail on the head for my son who loves Roman history. We will cherish this memory for years to come!

Gerard was very attentive, patient and helpful in coordinating with us on our 5 customized tours as we were specific about the holy sites we wanted to visit during our 2 week stay in Rome! Throughout our entire correspondence (which lasted a few weeks haha!), we had each query attended to and he even took time to check in with the tour guides and anyone else for any information that could help, even when adding in new locations / churches to our itinerary that were well outside Rome (Pompeii). He went the extra mile to suggest pit stops along the way and new holy sites that we didn’t know about, once he understood that our main goal was to organize a personal pilgrimage. Gerard still took so much trouble to find details about places that were outside his expertise – an excellent coordinator and someone you would really want to assist you in planning ! As for the days leading up to each tour, Gerard would give gentle reminders – he even assisted us to book a taxi from a restaurant back to our hotel when my daughter and I were stranded late on Christmas Eve night. Even when we were in the taxi, he wanted us to let him know when we reached the hotel, going above and beyond to ensure our safety despite him spending time with his family. During our tours, we were blessed to have Heidi as our tourguide as she was so caring in ensuring each tour was at a comfortable pace, Heidi was very conscientious, even assisting us to communicate with the Royal Guard at the Vatican to collect our mass tickets. She would act as a big sister to gently remind us on securing our bags infront of us. On our walking tour, she had even prepared bus tickets as she knew I might be too exhausted to walk long distances – it came as a great relief and pleasant surprise as it showed the level of care she has for us. Heidi was also highly competent and knowledgeable, and we could see how passionate she was with her work from the way she would prepare for the tours itself - printing info and explaining the different histories. She paid close attention to what we were looking for (holy relics, books etc. ) and would remember these details along the tours - even reminding us of them! One good example is when we had a list of holy books and sacramentals we wanted to get, she would take note of the piety/book shops in the area and also the timing of what was open. In the churches we visited, she would also secure access to the holy relics. Our customized tours with Real Rome Tours were extremely well organized and executed from start to end (even till we landed back in Singapore!). I would recommend this especially for small families or couples because you would get to better enjoy and revel in the beauty and history of the holy sites, and have more time to venerate at each location. It would also be at a pace that is comfortable and tailored for you. Thank you Real Rome Tours for taking good care of us & ensuring a wonderful and memorable experience ! Highly recommend 200% - would love to engage you for our tours if we are ever back in Rome !

Absolutely fantastic time with Real Rome Tours, very professional, informative guides and lots of FUN. We were a group of 8 friends who visited the Vatican Museum, Sistine Chapel, St Peter’s Basilica then the Colosseum and Forum two days later. I had been to the Vatican and Sistine Chapel a few years ago but this time I learned and saw so much more from our tour guide Donatella. Contact with Jer from the start was excellent and he designed a tour to suit our needs. He was very prompt in replying to all our queries. I would highly recommend Real Rome Tours, if you want a professional yet friendly day out in Rome. They even gave us ponchos for the rain and lovely restaurant recommendations.

Our tour of the colosseum was better than could have been imagined. Heidi, the guide, gave detailed history about all aspects of the site, complete with additional visual aids of the historical site. We could not be more pleased with the experience.

This tour was long but great! If you’re in Rome and want to know all the history then Sabrina is the one! She taught us many new things and took us to all the beautiful historical sites. She was easy going and accommodated to our needs (restrooms and pics taking breaks).
