Read what the reviews say:

“Absolutely the perfect way to get Rome AND history. Our driver was knowledgeable and very precise with his history. Our stops were not along most tourist sites and we felt we saw a part of Rome otherwise unseen. This was well worth it and I would strongly encourage this tour. We did it our first day and it was perfect. We felt safe (seat belts!) and overall….just A+. Thank you!
