petlover Posted August 7, 2005 #3 Share Posted August 7, 2005 This is who we've used a couple of times for tours as well as transportation to and from Rome. Very very good and he speaks perfect English. He is a Rome native. He also works with his son Daniele. Here is the info on Remo: Executive Limousine Rome Remo Melaragno http://www.driverinrome.com email: shuttleservice@tiscalinet.it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Max Posted August 10, 2005 #4 Share Posted August 10, 2005 We booked a Rome transfer / tour with Paolo Apolloni; http://www.drivinguide.com for 10-22-05. Check his rates because he spells out the 10% VAT tax added and the 3% fee for using a credit card. Cheers General Max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Host Karen Posted August 12, 2005 #6 Share Posted August 12, 2005 We thought Driver In Rome was terrific as well, but keep in mind that they are not licensed tour guides and as such cannot accompany you into museums and the like. Remo gave us a fabulous tour of Rome during our port stop and arranged for a guide for us in the Vatican. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liv4cruzin Posted August 12, 2005 #7 Share Posted August 12, 2005 We too chose them in '03. And I would use them again & again. I was able to e-mail Daniele & give him a list of things we wanted to see during that one day. He was so good about writing back w/ a suggested itinerary, which we tweaked a little more as time drew near. Daniele was on vacation during my visit; but he sent a delightful man named Aldo in a late model black Mercedes. Although not a "guide" he provided a good bit of history, gave helpful hints & advice on navigating ourselves through attractions & recommended a fabulous (reasonably priced) restaurant for lunch. We also let Daniele arrange for a driver the next day when our ship reached Livorno/Florence. You can't go wrong w/ them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godskidisme Posted August 24, 2005 #8 Share Posted August 24, 2005 At the beginning of the month, we used Stefano in Rome who was great and very reasonable and a really good guide as well as driver. His e-mail address is romecabs@yahoo.com I wholeheartedly recommend him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, yes, I do accept credit cards in my own very small business and have to write off between $2000-$3000 yearly in transaction fees.... But, everyone needs to play by the same rules!

NDRB Posted August 25, 2005 #10 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Which are the licensed tour guides and approximately what are their daily rates? What is the best way for two people to travel to Rome from the cruise ship? Nina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joyofcruising Posted August 25, 2005 #12 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Does anybody know a good guide in Rome?:confused: I am going for a pre-cruise stay and would like to have someone to show my family the sights. We had Daniele from Driver in Rome www.driverinrome.com. He was quite polished, and we had a very productive and pleasant day with him. We highly recommend Driver in Rome in general, and Daniele for a tour of Rome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
