Roberto was a HUGE part of making my family vacation to Gaeta, Italy a success. I was able to…read morereserve airport transfers to/from Gaeta from both Rome and Naples through email from the US before we left. He was quick to respond and speaks English. He accepted deposits and reservations through Paypal which was easier for me and gave me piece of mind. The driver met us at baggage claim with a sign so we were quickly out of the airport and on our way. He has a variety of car sizes that accommodated all of us and our luggage. During our 3 weeks stay we decided not to rent a car and instead called or texted Roberto for day trips and even sent our teenagers off on their own to explore nightlife! It is best to book in advance, but even with last minute requests he was able to help us find rides through his network of cars and drivers. (** you may read online that Italy has rideshare Apps: maybe some places, but NOT in Gaeta! Roberto WAS our Uber**) As the owner/operator of a transportation company in Washington DC, I found the service and professionalism I received from Gaeta Taxi service to be exceptional.

Half-Day Tour of Pompeii with Lello: My partner and I wish…read morewe had booked a longer tour because we were beyond mesmerized with learning and seeing Pompeii's rich legacy and history. Our archeologist tour guide Lello educated us with everything we needed to know, so when the tour was done, my partner and I could navigate around the ruins with ease and soak in the must see spots we couldn't get to in the tour, with the knowledge Lello gifted us, that really helped with appreciating what we were looking at and where we we standing. Hopefully we get to go back to Italy in the future, and if we do do we would book another tour of Pompeii with Tours of Pompeii with Lello & co. Thank you for this amazing experience!

My step mother has been on tours of Pompeii before and she said this was hands down the best tour guide. Lello was not only extremely intelligent and informed, but he was hilarious too!

Book your tour with Lello, you will be so glad you did!!!

I had high expectations for Gianni's boats, especially since we paid €240 for a boat ride around…read moreCapri. The process it self is easy to book and the boat ride was stunning. This service could be 5+ stars but they lose it in the details. I'll give it four because I loved the view and overall it was a fun experience. Now, onto the details that could be improved. Our boat captain seemed pretty disinterested most of the time, occasionally pointing out sights but we had to ask him for information most of the time. He spent a lot of time on his phone, occasionally driving too fast over the waves, we actually got completely soaked at one point. We also never got the advertised and promised homemade limoncello, which was kind of disappointing. Despite missing out on the finer details, it was a beautiful ride around Capri.

You get a lot of food with the tasting too! It's well worth the money. I wish I could bring everyone here. I will go out of my way to come here next time I'm in Italy. Thanks for such an awesome experience!

My wife, mother-in-law and I used this company. We were running about 3 minutes late, even though…read morethe messaging we received was very clear to be early. My mother-in-law is elderly and getting around with her took more time than expected. Still, we arrived at the staging area and the staff was still very pleasant and accommodating. You can tell they were getting us to hurry because they know the area would be overrun with other tour groups. They really wanted us to have the best time and experience there. And they sat us in a very good spot for the Wednesday audience with the Pope. I would definitely recommend this company.

Great tours! We did the Colosseum and Vatican tour. The Colosseum tour was with Ferdinando and his…read moreknowledge and passion for what he was showing us was obvious. He is definitely highly recommended. He is an archaeologist as well so he had a lot of fascinating things to share with us. We actually ran into him on three separate occasions in Rome by chance and he was great to talk to each time. The Colosseum tour we took also included the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill (both even more fascinating than the Colosseum in my opinion). The Vatican tour was with Claudia and she was equally as knowledgeable and fun! She obviously knew the folks she needed to to get around in this massive complex without having to wait for anything. The "no-line" entry most tours get has lines here. She had the hookup to get us even past those lines. The tour starts through the Vatican Museum and it was very crowded at the time we were there. She fought to make room for us to get in front of the masses to get a close look at all the things she wanted us to see. It was great to see her genuinely care about our experience. Just about every other tour group we saw in this places had at least 30 people in them. Both tours we took with Real Rome Tours had less than 10. We all had an equal opportunity to experience these beautiful sights with great knowledgable folks who even stuck around to answer any questions we had. They also give great recommendations on restaurants and other places you need to see while in Rome. Gerard was also a pleasure dealing with while booking our tours. He is well organized and gave us a great alternative when we wanted to do the Colosseum Underground tour that wasn't available. It worked out perfectly for us. I couldn't recommend Real Rome Tours any more.

He has an intimate knowledge of all things along the Amalfi Coast. His excellent recommendations both during and after our tour(as well as his friends recommendations along the way)were off the beaten path or a quiet haven within a bustling village. The tour was never rushed. He had stops he thought we would enjoy from our conversation and adjusted the tour for impromptu stops if we had questions about certain things. I recommend booking his tour on your first full day of your stay along the Amalfi Coast, as it helped us to plan our excursions during the remainder of our stay. Thank you, Luigi!

I booked a Colosseum guided tour through LivTours for my family during a long planned trip to Rome,…read moremeant to celebrate my son's graduation from Lehigh University and my daughter's high school graduation. Instead of a memory to celebrate, we left with one none of us will forget for the wrong reasons. LivTours guides do not give guests individual paper tickets. The guide holds all admission on an electronic ticket and hands each guest a small sticker as the only proof of entry. On an extremely hot day, my sticker came loose. Our guide walked ahead with two other guests to the bookshop and, by her own account, only glanced back and saw our group heading toward the exit. She never confirmed we actually made it out and never checked that each of us still had proof of admission. When I reached the exit checkpoint, staff asked for my ticket. I had none, because LivTours never gave me one. I was told it was illegal to be in that area without a valid ticket, pulled aside, and questioned. The police were called. I stood there while my wife and children watched and had to step in to try to help me. My wife eventually pulled up our purchase receipt on her phone, and that is the only reason I was allowed to leave. LivTours admitted in writing that the guide saw our group heading toward the exit and left without confirming we made it out. She did not secure our exit. She did not check that everyone in the group actually cleared the checkpoint before she walked off with two other guests to the bookshop. Making sure a group actually exits a controlled site, not just watching them walk in that general direction, is a basic responsibility of a tour guide, especially one holding the only ticket that gives that group the right to be there in the first place. As an African American man in a foreign country, being publicly stopped, questioned, and detained by police in front of my family was humiliating in a way that is hard to put into words. This was supposed to be a trip celebrating my children's accomplishments. Instead they watched their father get pulled aside like a criminal because a tour guide walked away without making sure we had what we needed to leave. A LivTours representative called me shortly after and told me directly that a refund would be issued. Weeks later, after I put the complaint in writing, LivTours reversed course completely. They now claim the tour was "completed as planned" and that the incident was outside their control. Their own emails contradict that. They admit their guide saw us walking toward the exit and left without confirming we got out safely. They admit they do not provide physical tickets to guests. Those two facts together are exactly why this happened, and it happened because of how LivTours operates, not because of anything my family did. I would not recommend LivTours for any tour requiring facility exit past a checkpoint. Ask directly whether you will receive an individual physical ticket before you book, and get it in writing.

When beaches and shopping seem to be just scratching the surface of the amazing Positano and you want more or something different... call Marco Predieri. He was a wonderful, knowledgable tour guide! He knows the Amalfi Coast inside and out! He speaks perfect English and he is a walking history book. He will take the time to understand your needs and help you custom plan your itinerary. We had the great surprise of engaging in a few tours he offered that were literally off the charts. We went on amazing hikes seeing ancient waterfalls thru acres of pristine lemon groves. We took a cooking class in the kitchen of a gorgeous restaurant-side by side with the master chef. We went on a private boat tour along the Amalfi Coast with detours to cave dive and eat in a hidden gem of a fishing town. My only regret was there was not enough time to see and do all the wonderful tours he recommended. Marco makes you feel like a friend who has come to visit Italy for the first time and he wants to show you what you may not otherwise get to see. We felt like we were being escorted thru the town with an old friend who introduced us to his home and friends. The experience was a dream come true!
