Awesome
Excellent knowledgable guide
Good for those w limited walking ability.
Guide was ok. He was knowledgeable but we had to keep asking questions to get more information. A lot of lost time without information. The small cart tour was good for limited walking ability for my mom.
Must try!!!
Edwin was great and very knowledgeable! Great history and jokes. We had a great time and definitely recommend. We went to places I would have never thought to check out and the views were amazing!! I have a great picture to share yet I don’t know how to add it. Must try this! It’s a fantastic way to see Rome.
Best views of Rome
This is the best way to see a lot of Rome - in an open side car with no obstructions. Stefano and Giuliano are terrific guides and safe drivers. I highly recommend them!
