Traveler reviews
Great family experience!
The tour was wonderful. So glad we chose the private tour. Since it was just our family, we could linger where we wanted to linger and take things in very much in our own way. Our tour guide, Iliana was so lovely and very knowledgable. It was like being taken around by a friend or a cousin -- but one who really knows her stuff. This private family tour was a splurge for us -- but very much worth is because it allowed us to experience what could be an overwhelming place in our own way, but with expert guidance so we could have a sense of discernment about what we were looking at. Iliana made sure to elicit opinions from our boys so as to tailor the tour to them. She really had them engaged, which was great! If you want to splurge on one thing while in Rome, this might be the thing to splurge on. It was for us. A wonderful experience!
