Raves About Rick’s Best of Rome Tour
There's nothing like discovering the many layers of Rome with a talented Rick Steves guide by your side. But don't take our word for it. Here's what past tour members had to say about our week-long Rome tour…
"My 'wow' was the museum tours and Colosseum tour led by local guide Francesca. She was a wonderful storyteller and set the stage for an excellent visit to the Vatican Museum, the Borghese Museum and the Colosseum."
— John in Rio Rancho, NM
"Italy in itself is a 'WOW!' experience! We started with Rick Steves Rome tour, then spent 20 more days touring Italy. We loved the ancient sites of Rome and the tour guides' expert opinions, knowledge, and insights."
— Cynthia in Lynden, WA
"The San Clemente Basilica provided such a perfect metaphor for the city of Rome. Getting to 'travel back in time' to see the separate levels of the building from the different centuries was amazing."
— Mike in Novato, CA
"Every day we had new experiences that were unique. Art, history, architecture, culture, religion, food, and community. After the RS tour, I feel I know Rome well enough that I could take someone there and show them the city."
— Jennifer in Huntington, IN
"My favorite 'wow' moment was viewing the vastness of the Forum from high-above on Capitoline Hill and imagining what it must have been like to stroll through it in its glory all those years ago."
— Stephen in Manchester, MO
"After spending several days in the busy city, it was great to go to Ostia Antica and wander through the ruins. There was hardly anybody else there, we had a wonderful tour with our guide, then had time to wander on our own."
— Constance in San Anselmo, CA
"If I have to pick my favorite 'wow' moment it would be visiting the Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica where I was in awe to see Michelangelo's Pieta with my own eyes."
— Deanna in Haverhill, MA
