Excellent service!

Great tour. Manny spoke good English. He took us to all the places we requested and then some. The reservations he got us for lunch were perfect. Great food, great prices, and service to match. We would definitely consider Shore Excursions again when in Europe.
Amazing Experience

Luca and Natalie provide professional and fast service when booking and inquiring about tour information. Mani our driver/guide was amazing! On the day of our tour, our ship docked late due to inclement weather. Mani was waiting for us right at the exit of our ship and we were on our way to Rome within minutes! He tried his best to get us back on schedule which allowed us to still do everything we wanted to do. Mani was extremely knowledgeable and just a great person to be around. I would not hesitate to book another excursion with Rome Private Excursions!
Must Do!!!
