This was booked through Viator, but the actual company doing the tour is Romaetravel. This was an excellent tour. They asked us if we could change the tour date from Monday to Sunday, which was fine. They picked us up at hotel, there were only 4 of us on the tour. We had a rest stop, then to Pompeii where we had another guide. Then on to drive through Sorrento and Amalfi coast, which was beautiful. Had a photo stop, then stopped at Positano for lunch and shopping, then on the Amalfi and a short stop there. Our guide Maure was wonderful, very knowledgable and personable. Our driver was excellent, expecially navigating all the windy roads. I would highly recommend this tour. It's a long day but totally worth it.

Excellent, thorough, and wonderful are just a few words to describe our great day with our guide,Livio. Since all four of us had been to Rome before, we really wanted to see some different sites. As we drove to Rome we planned our day with Livio suggesting that we first visit the Catacombs of St. Callixtus, since he knew that there was a 9am tour in English. This site is full of history, archaeology and faith. It truly was a highlight of our day. We then drove to a section of the original Apian Way. Our morning included visits to Circus Maximus, an overlook of the city where you can see the seven hills of Rome, The Keyhole Door, the ruins of the Forum, and the Trevi Fountain. We drove past several historical sites including The Wedding Cake. After a wonderful, delicious lunch at a local restaurant, we headed to Vatican City for the afternoon. There we were guided by a very knowledgeable guide, Rosanna. We spent over two hours visiting the Vatican Museum, the Sisten Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica. A day tour with Livio and his company is truly the only way to see and appreciate this ancient city. If we could we would give Livio ********** for this great tour. Thanks Livio for providing all of us with a wonderful day and some great memories!!
5. Spello, Roman mosaics and Renaissance masterpieces – Private Tour
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 1 reviews
Spello, known as one of the most beautiful town in Italy thanks to its wonderful medieval buildings made of pink limestone and colorful flowers, dominates the amazing Umbrian Valley from the slopes of Mount Subasio. Particularly beautiful are the remains of the Ancient Roman city, called “Splendidissima Colonia Julia” (“Most Beautiful Julia Colony”) by Emperor Augustus: imposing walls, majestic city gates and, above all, the Villa of Mosaics, one of the most important archaeological discoveries of the last 20 years. You will visit a wonderful Roman villa, that takes its name from the splendid colorful mosaics that refer to the beautiful Umbrian countryside, depicting wild birds and grape harvest, but also to exotic and fantastic animals, such as panthers and sea monsters. Entering the city through the Roman Porta Consolare (Consular Gate), you will enjoy the fascinating alleys of the medieval Spello and its wonderful churches. In the Church of Sant’Andrea Apostolo you will admire a sixteenth-century masterpiece painted by Pinturicchio, one of the greatest artists of the time, nicknamed “the Little Painter”. This notorious Umbrian artist is also the author of the frescoes of the Baglioni Chapel in the Collegiate Church of Santa Maria Maggiore: here you will also admire a splendid floor made of Deruta ceramics and the famous self-portrait of Pinturicchio, discovering all the details hidden in his masterpieces! Finally, enjoy the spectacular Porta Venere, built in Roman times but flanked in the Middle Ages by the mighty Towers of Properzio, and the breathtaking view of the Umbrian Valley!

Ele was just fantastic. She met us at Piazza Navona and took us through some wonderful highlights of Rome. We really enjoyed her descriptions of the sites, the Caravaggios we saw in one of the churches and the coffee we got. She also gave us some great tips on where to shop for gifts and places to eat while we visited Rome. She was fun to talk to and listen to and we're so glad we had a chance to enjoy a personal tour of some of the city's highlights. Thank you Ele! Our original travel date was November 2018 but we loved her so much we wanted to talk about it again.

A lovely lady called Gulia took my husband and I on a walk round Rome sampling food and drink from various shops and a superb pasta lunch. If you are going todo this tour I advise you not to eat much beforehand as we finished the tour around 2:00pm and did not eat another thing all day. We had meats and cheese with some wine to start off with and then followed this in a picturesque market square with tasting various oils and vinegars. Roman Pizza and beer were next, followed by a delicious lunch of two different types of pasta. Then followed dessert of either cannoli or tirimisu at another stop off point, ice cream and coffee to finish. Never felt so full. Guila was full of interesting conversation about her city. All in all a great day out ending at the Trevi fountain.
