Here’s our SUNDAY (and religious holidays) SPECIAL: We’ve developed a unique Sunday program in response to our Wow Tour’s popularity when the Vatican is shut.

  • LIMITED MOBILITY Ancient Rome area and Vatican Museums visits involve SIGNIFICANT WALKING. The Roman Forum and Palatine surfaces are uneven, but a considerable portion of the area has wheelchair paths. Please note that the pathway from the Sistine Chapel to St Peter’s Basilica has 50 steps downwards and is not wheelchair accessible. The tour can continue to the Basilica only if all members of your private group can walk down the stairs, but, for safety reasons, it is not possible to carry wheelchairs and walkers down the stairs. If your private group includes participants with reduced mobility, we can still bring you to the Basilica, going back to the Museum’s entrance and reaching it from the outside with the car. Although there is a dedicated pathway for wheelchairs, please be aware that there may be a queue to enter the Basilica. Also, note that other participants in your group will have to take charge of pushing the wheelchair.
  • VATICAN IS CLOSED ON SUNDAYS (and religious holidays). Due to the Wow Tour’s high request, we designed a Sunday experience when the Vatican is closed.

The guide makes all the difference! - The quirky little stories Luca shared with us about the many works of art we saw. Having been to Rome before, Luca added to our experience. He made the whole day feel relaxed and easy. We admired how in tune he was with the needs of our group. He was attentive to each of us in a skilled and kind way. We respected his knowledge and his ability to enhance our understanding of what we were seeing.

Best way to see Rome in a day - Worth every penny. Our guide Patrizia was incredibly knowledgeable and so funny. We would not have been able to see so many things in one day without her. Our driver Andrea got us from location to location in style and was so kind. Highly recommend.

Worth the money! - This was truly the best way to see Rome in 1 day with very limited time. Amira was our driver and picked us up right at the cruise port and got us into Rome quickly and safely, she handled Rome’s traffic very well. Our tour guide was Laura and she was so sweet and informative. My boyfriend walks with a cane and needed to take breaks while walking and she was very understanding of that and made sure he could use the elevator when possible. Truly was skip the line, felt like VIP’s. Lunch was amazing!! Overall, it is definitely pricey but if you only have a small amount of time in Rome it is 100% worth it. We would have never been able to see the things we did without a private driver and tour guide and we had an amazing time!

See Rome in a day - Seeing all of the historical sites was a great way to take in Rome in a single day. Andrea was a great tour guide. He knows so much history and his background in archeology was very interesting.

Best Tour Ever - My sister and I only had one day in Rome before boarding a ship to cruise the Mediterranean, so I booked the WOW tour and it was a WOW. They provided a driver to get us around town and a tour guide to get us in to all of the most sought after sights in Rome. Get us in they did! We walked in to all of the places like VIP’s. We had enough time to enjoy the sights and our tour guide, Elenora was fabulous and knowledgable about all of the places we went. I would say it was the best tour I’ve ever been on and would definitely recommend it.

Rome in a day - Had an amazing day seeing some of Romes most important pieces of history. Andrew our driver was punctual, polite, knowledgeable and we felt very safe. Daniel our guide was very knowledgeable giving us enough information that we could understand and more if asked. He was very loyal to the history and respect it required. It seemed a long day but flew by. We loved it and would highly recommend. Especially the team we had looking after us. Thanks Andrew and Daniel

Rome in 1 day is doable - Tour guide Andreas was amazing, very knowledgeable and allowed us to be interactive. If you want and need to see it all in one day, this is the tour. It is a lot of sight seeing in one day however with the limited amount of time for a port adventure it was perfect. Gave 4/5 stars due to the driver. Tour came with a driver and a tour guide, 2 separate people to tip. Unfortunately, the main road to Rome was closed; our driver did get us to where we needed to be because we had timed tickets but the driving was slightly erratic. The driving continued throughout the tour and on the way back to port despite having enough time to board. Again very thankful however I think I lost a few hairs. I also wasn't prepared to split our tip. I had brought enough money for the tour guide based on the cost of the tour however didn't expect the driver to be with us all day, definitely something to keep in mind.
