Our group of six (parents with adult children) had the pleasure of taking this tour with Marco on Christmas Day. We were only in Rome for 3 days and it being a holiday, were limited in what we could see during that time. Marco was a great communicator, prompt, and very accommodating for our tour. Since we had already visited the Vatican a day earlier, he quickly modified our itinerary to include some other sites. It turned out our favorite stop was the Basilica of St. Paul, which wasn’t even on the original stops. He was very knowledgeable about the area and we enjoyed his personality and jokes. We never felt rushed at any stop and it was awesome having him drop us off super close to attractions where parking was not possible. We could text him through What’s App when we were done and he was always there within minutes. Pick up and drop off was at our AirBnB (super convenient), he found us a great lunch spot for a mid-day break, and even zipped us up to the top of a hill for the daily noon cannon fire. Even though a few of the attractions were closed for Christmas Day (inside of the Colosseum and the Pantheon) we felt we had seen most of what we had hoped to experience. And honestly, with a large group, these private tours aren’t crazy expensive. I definitely recommend this highlight tour of Rome.
