We knew right away that the day was going to be interesting. We thought the driver was going to meet us at the port at 7:30am but didn't show up until 8:30am. Allegedly, the tour company didn't receive my text reply to their message confirming the 7:30am pick-up. Carlo, from the tour company, argued with me and stated I didn't send the text when I could clearly see it was delivered.
Once we got into the minivan, our driver Tony, told us that our tour guide was in an accident, and they were trying to find a replacement. He said he was going to drive us around while they tried to find someone. Carlo called us and said that there were no guides because everyone is on vacation in Rome right now. We asked if we could possibly join up with another group, and he said it was not possible. He said our driver could drive us around, and we could look at the Colosseum from the outside. We asked if we could have a refund for our tickets since they were included in the package. Carlo said he could email us the tickets, and we could tour by ourselves which we agreed to. It was disappointing to tour the Colosseum by ourselves, but we made the best of it.
After the Colosseum "tour", we were taken to the restaurant for lunch. The food was great, and we were given several options to select from. The wait staff was friendly, and it didn't take much time to get our food. This was the highlight of the day.
We were told that a guide was located for the Vatican portion of the tour. We met up with Giancarlo who led us through the Vatican museum, the Sistine Chapel, and St. Peter's Basilica. Due to the time we spent waiting at the beginning of the tour to find a guide, we had very little time to get through the "fast track" line and the lines inside. Giancarlo was extremely knowledgeable and did his best to get us through as quickly as possible before we had to get back to the cruise ship.
This day in particular was the day we were looking forward to the most, and it turned out to be the biggest disappointment of our entire trip especially for the money we spent. Tony and Giancarlo really tried their best to make the experience as good as possible.

Smooth on-time pickup at our cruise ship, then dropped off with our tour guide for the day, Massimo. He was outstanding. He had the timing down perfect - when to go in to each venue, where to stop along the way for discussion, photos, etc. He was extremely knowledgeable me about everything we saw and Rome’s history. I would highly recommend, as it was our family’s best day of our trip (4 teenage boys).

What an amazing experience! Our Driver, Carmela, picked us up right in front of the ship and took great care of us in the crazy Rome traffic. We were met at the Vatican Museum by Marco who was beyond fantastic. He was very knowledgeable about what we were seeing, we had a fabulous lunch and finished the tour with the Colosseum and Forum. Marco and Carmela made sure we were back to our ship in time for departure. This is the only way to see Rome in a day and well worth the extra $$.

Maximus was FANTASTIC. He explained everything to my family to the point there were only a few questions asked. His personality is very calming and he is a very patient Guide. All of us fell in love with him. He’s the best. Thank you for sending him to us. We learned a lot that day.
