No regrets! Book Real Rome Tours! Highest recommendation possible for Real Rome Tours! Before we even arrived, Gerard was fantastic at communication, tailoring the tour to our interests, and figuring out the best times to arrive at each spot. They were always on time to pick us up at our hotel and stayed on time throughout the day. The Mercedes van was always clean and had water in it for us. There was only two of us but it would have comfortably seated 6 people. We booked them for the evening walking tour--a must to see Rome at night with Heidi, the next day a full tour of Rome complete with the Vatican, Colosseum, and more with Max and Fabio, and in our final day an amazing drive to Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast with Fabio and Katerina. Highly recommend all three tours. At the end of each day they always gave their recommendations on dinner choices and dessert. Gerard, Heidi, Max, Fabio, and Katerina, many many thanks!

Amazing In July 2022 my family began planning our European vacation. When it came to our trip involving our visit to Rome I sought out professional tour companies to assist with our four day visit. After searching Google and reading customer reviews, I contacted Real Rome Tours and a gentleman by the name of Gerard Breen responded promptly to my email in English. I went over our timeframe and what we were looking for during our trip, and he made a proposal, which sounded exactly what we were looking for. After we finalized our travel dates we again made contact with Gerard, who made detailed plans for our four day visit. During our visit is my wife, yes, myself and our 42-year-old daughter. My wife has MS and walks with crutches. So traveling for her is a little slower than normal. We didn't want to partake in a large group because we felt like we would be holding up other tourist. Through Gerald's company, we were able to arrange private tours to old Roman Colosseum, the Vatican and the Sistine chapel, a day trip around Rome, as well as one day trip to Tivoli. We had two tour guides for our four days stay. Heidi was our first tour guide when we went to the Colosseum and old Rome as well as a one days driving tour around Rome to see numerous site including Trevi fountain, the Spanish steps and much more. Our time with her was very high-quality, and she tailored the tour to our needs, and our ability to walk on the uneven pavement. We were able to take frequent breaks as needed and what was very nice about the individualized tour was we were able to interact frequently and ask all types of questions regarding what we were seeing. During the day driving tour, our driver on this day was Selvio, and unlike many of Romes drivers his ride was smooth and relaxing in a very nice luxury van. For the final two days in Rome, our guide was Antonella. She took us through the Vatican, Sistine Chapel, Saint Peters Basilica and on the second day we went to a much less crowded venue of Tivoli to tour the grounds and garden and fountains. This was a more laid back day and a nice way to wind down our vacation. We had lunch with our guide at a restaurant called Il Ciocco, eat on their terrace with a most spectacular view. Antonella who is a wonderful tour guide, taking time to explain all of the key elements of what we were observing and not bugging us down with a lot of unneeded detail. She also was able to accommodate and make sure my wife was able to safely navigate all of the cobblestone and steps that we encountered during our trip with her. Our driver on the second day was Fabio. Lke our first driver, we found his driving style, very relaxing and smooth and again we were in a luxury van. He spoke good English, and really contributed to our enjoyment that day. Everything about our trip in Rome was outstanding, thanks to real Rome, tourism, and the guides and drivers that we had. If I go back to Rome, I will definitely be using Real Rome Tours and Gerard Green for any future trips to Rome. I would love to have Heidi and Antonella again as my tour guides. I cannot give a high enough rating for the excellent service they provided. The photos below show our group along with our tour guides.

Amazing monuments and statues The sights were amazing, and we learned a lot on our tour with Francesca. It’s was busier than expected and we were tired from several days of walking so be prepared for that. Our favorite were the monuments, statues, and being inside St Peter’s Basilica. Truly amazing.

Fascinating underground tour Thoroughly enjoyed our VIP tour of the Colosseum Underground and Ancient Rome. Our tour guide, Nic was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Wear comfortable shoes and plan on a lot of walking before, during, and after. It’s worth it. Gerard was very good at organizing, communicating, and confirming everything.

Excellent Colosseum experience with Real Tome Tours Booked the small group tour of the colosseum. Was expecting a group of 5/6 people in total however we were the only two which was a bonus. Heidi was a great guide. Very friendly, knowledgeable and the tour flew by. was impressed by the contact before and after tour to ensure we got to our meeting point firstly and then checking in how we got on after. Very impressed and would definitely recommend.

Highly recommend - learn about the Colosseum and Ancient Rome from an expert I took the Colosseum Underground and Ancient Rome tour with Real Rome Tours. Heidi was our guide, and she was absolutely wonderful. Full of knowledge, and a lovely person too. I had heard great things about this tour company, but my expectations were far exceeded. The main difference between Real Rome Tours, and other companies, is that Real Rome Tours are very small and tailored. I noticed many other guides with up to 20 people, whereas we had a very small group which made it much easier to ask questions and have a very personalized tour. Thank you so much to Heidi for making this tour so memorable.

VIP Colosseum Underground & Ancient Rome Tour VIP Colosseum Underground & Ancient Rome Tour This tour exceeded our expectations. Heidi, our guide spent so much time with us and was able to answer all our questions, plus expand on every possible topic. Do not hesitate to book this tour. It might be a bit more expensive than other companies, but the outcome is definitely worth the price. We saw other groups with 20+ people traipsing through the Colosseum. Our group was supposed to be a group of 6, but turned out to be just the two of us. Who doesn't like a private tour. Thank you so much Gerard and Heidi. I highly recommend your company to anyone wanting an indepth tour of Rome.

Coliseum and underground tour The incredible knowledge of the guide and the ease with which the tour was booked and all the information about the tour was provided. Heidi the guide was friendly and extremely helpful and as I said knowledgeable. Well worth the cost of the tour!!!

Perfect Colosseum tour! We had a wonderful tour with Heidi! She was very knowledgeable and kind, answering all of our questions with ease — we would definitely tour with this company again!

Good Tour Gerard, the organizer, has amazing communication. He sent me everything I needed to know for meeting and prep by email and sms. He also was very quick to reply to me and help me when I got there so that I could find the group more easily. I paid for the Colosseum (undergound and main), palantine, and forum. Francesca was our tour guide. it was a group of 3 so pretty much a private tour. Francesca was kind and knowledgeable of the sites. The only reason I don't give 5 stars is because I wouldn't say that the tour exceeded mu expectation. although the guide new the sites, she didn't animate much. She seems to have told us just the bear minimum of what we needed to to know based on main things that we needed to see there. I would have given 5 stars if I had a guide that was a great story teller showing an obvious passion for the history and the sites with additional historical anecdotes about the roman sites. overall would recommend 🙂
