Tour guide in Rome

[Cleopatra52]

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.

I have been recently in Rome and booked Domizia,she is very professional and was able to entertain the kids in the party as well.We visited the main attractions in two days and truly enjoyed our stay.She is reasonably priced and can be reached at dcatini@alice.it

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:

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

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.

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.

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.

Of course, adding that 3% surcharge (or setting miniumum charges) is in violation with credit card regulations!

 

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!

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?

Yes, Nina the 3% credit card fee will cost me a total of 8.25 Euros. No big deal.

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.
