Rome with Michelangelo!
Our driver, Michelangelo, was amazing! He had a wonderful sense of humor and was very personable. He always dropped us off close to the sights. He took great care of us, and made excellent recommendations for lunch and for what to see in Rome. He made it so fun for our young girls (he even played special music for them). We would highly recommend him!
Response from the operator: Thank you very much !! We are happy when you are happy!!!!

You will see it all!
We had a cruise stop in Rome and because it was my first time there, and I have been fascinated by ancient civilizations since I was a girl, I wanted to see everything I could in the very limited time I had. Luckily, Mauricio and his Mercedes made it happen. No one can believe the amount of things we packed into a 7-hour visit. And, these weren’t just drive-bys. We went into 2 churches, walked around the Coliseum and inside the walls of the Vatican, climbed the Spanish steps, threw a coin (sweet Mauricio gave us each one since we had only bills!) into Trevi Fountain, had a cappuccino at a sidewalk cafe, and stopped for pictures at almost every place we saw. We didn’t do anything that required reservations or extra cost, we just went for a ride with Mauricio and with his expert guidance, we covered enough of Rome to feel like we spent two days there! What an amazing city!! Mauricio is very professional, knowledgeable (born in Rome so he knows the history and the shortcuts!), and he offers an incredible value because he covers so much ground, yet you never feel rushed. Also, like the best guides, he takes you to a local restaurant where someone speaks English and gets you seated and taken care of. 100% will call him again when I’m next in Rome, because believe me, I will return!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much! it is a pleasure to make you happy! Grazie!!!

The Best Driver Guide You Could Find !!
Two words to describe Mr. Mauricio from Carratoni Tours - EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE !! :) We went on a 7- Day Western Mediterranean Cruise with NCL to celebrate our dad's 70th birthday at the end of October and there were 14 of us (10 adults, 4 kids). Since there are so many of us, we were contemplating whether we should book the Excursion from the ship (to make sure that we won't be late and left behind) or if we should use some other companies where they offer excursions in private/ smaller group. A family friend told use about Carratoni Tours and they were very happy with the service, so we decided to give it a try... We booked 2 vans (7 people for each car). Booking was super easy (you can do through email or whatsapp) and Mrs Yamamoto was very helpful and always replied to any questions that we have quickly. They also could provide us with booster seats for the smaller kids! We booked our shore excursions from Port Livorno, Civitavecchia and Naples. Sadly the day before we arrived at Naples we had a very bad weather that has caused the ship to skip that port completely. I was able to reach Mrs Yamamoto online and cancel the tour for that port at the last minute with no problem! And since we arrived at the next port (Civitavecchia) a day early, I was also able to book an extra day tour with them! Whether you know where you want to go or even if you don't, Mr Mauricio will arrange everything for you! There is no special Tour Guide (if you need one in some places, let them know and they can help!) but he is the best driver guide you could ask for with lots of knowledge and information! He will give you recommendations to places to go, great restaurants to eat and will make sure you have the best day every single time! You were picked up right at the Port ( he always arrives on time/ early!) and we didn't have to wait in a long line up with the rest of the excursion people from the cruise. Definitely felt like a VIP! The Mercedes Van was new, clean and very comfortable. But most of all, the customer service Mr Mauricio provided to us was above and beyond. On our last day he even surprised the kids with some loot bags which made them very happy! Thank you Mr Mauricio Carratoni for the exceptional service you provided, we couldn't have asked for a better person! If you are thinking about using Carratoni Tours, think no more and BOOK NOW! I highly recommend them and you won't be disappointed! :)
Response from the operator: Thank you very much and I hope you will return a greeting soon!

Great Day, but carefully check opening times
Driver picked us up promptly on the shore next to our Cruise Ship. Timed entry to the Vatican Museum (9:30 am) and Colesso (2:30 pm) we prebooked by the tour company. Upon arrival in Rome discovered that St. Peter’s is closed every Wednesday morning for the Papal audience. Meant we did not get to enter St, Peter’s. Would have thought an experienced tour company would have known this and arranged the tour to the Vatican/St. Peter’s area in the afternoon to avoid this disappointment. Some confusion with driver about meeting point, but were able to get into the Colesso late anyway. Do your own homework before you book, don’t rely on the tour company. Private tour is the way to go! More flexibility, see more (don’t have to wait while 40 others disembark from and reboard the tour bus. If there are four of you, it will be far less per person than the excursions offered by the cruise line.
Response from the operator: Hello Thank you very for your message. In the future as well we would like to respond to customers requests on a flexible and organized more. Thanks again Mauricio Carratoni Carratonitours

Rome wasn't built in a day, but this...
<p>Rome wasn't built in a day, but this tour showed us that Rome can be SEEN in a day! We're still raving about it and our driver/guide, Mauricio days after. 5 stars isn't enough as this was worth so much more. Mauricio picked us up at the port right on time and was easy to find. After a drive to Rome learning all about what was in store, he zipped us around and about Rome all day long. He picked an amazing place for lunch and had a prime table already reserved. He dropped us off closer than any other car could get to the sites. Top notch in every way, and Mauricio is a MUST request as your guide.</p>

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Rome Tour with Drive Guide: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rome.
How much does Rome Tour with Drive Guide cost?
+
Prices start at $190 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Rome usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Rome Tour with Drive Guide take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Rome is not rushed.
Is Rome Tour with Drive Guide worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Rome, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Rome Tour with Drive Guide?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Rome Tour with Drive Guide suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Rome Tour with Drive Guide?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Rome can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Rome and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Rome Tour with Drive Guide start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Rome within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Rome?
+
Rome runs on skip-the-line access. The Colosseum underground, the Vatican before opening, and the catacombs south of the walls all require a licensed operator, and the price gap between the good ones and the rest is smaller than you would expect. We rank by guide credentials, group size and how reliably the promised access actually materialises. On Outty we rank every Rome experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Rome Pasta and Tiramisu Class: Ravioli, Fettuccine & Fine Wine 5*, Pasta Making & Wine Tasting with Dinner in Frascati from Rome, Rome: Pizza & Tiramisu or Gelato Class with Flowing Fine Wine 5*. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Rome?
+
April, May, September and October. August is hot and half the city is shut. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Rome?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
