We were a group of 3 couples staying 4 days in Rome after a trans Atlantic cruise. We knew what we wanted to see and relayed this info to Ally. What an organizer! Our driver, Alberto, met us promptly at the port and was informative and an excellent driver for the 3 trips we undertook - Assisi, the Amalfi coast... More

We used this company in Rome and They are the best. My husband is handicapped and they went above and beyond to make sure he had and did everything he could. Our guide was Daniela and so very knowledgeable about all of Rome. I can not say enough great about what Ally did for us and then the perfect guide... More

We were a group of 6 women who came to Rome and Umbria to experience Italy in a more personalized way. Ally organized 3 tours for us (2 in Rome and 1 in Orvieto) which were amazing. All of the guides were entertaining and informative. Marco in Orvieto brought the cathedral and its Signorelli frescos to life. Ettore ("Stroll as... More

My family (husband and 2 adult children) were excited about touring Italy. We were working the trip around work and spring break so we could not go on a set tour. Through Trip Advisor I found Italy Hotline Custome & Gourmet Tours. My first email to them was - "help - what should we do!" Ally responded with a suggested... More

As my 10 year old son aptly put it, "I give them 15 out of 10 stars!" This was my son's first trip to Europe and my husband and I organized 4 different tours to give him a taste of Rome. Italy Hotline Tours was recommended by a friend and I can't imagine having better tours of Rome! We were... More

If you want that personal touch anywhere in Italy, this is a reliable quality operator. We used them in florence and rome and never had a bad tour. Guides all spoke perfect english and were truly interested in their subjects. Plus you can customize as you go to see only those places desired. Highly recommend the food tour in rome.... More

This review, too, is long overdue. We’ve been to Rome twice in the last two years, and both times with done tours with Italy Hotline and Gourmet Custom Tours. The first year we did the Vatican and a walking culinary tour of central Rome. The culinary tour was excellent; we found places we’d never have discovered on our own, and... More

This review is long overdue... but I must write this review as I look over old pictures of our trip in 2009. We visited the Vatican and since I was pregnant, had a 2 1/2 year old son, and an elderly (but active) Aunt with my husband and myself... I figured we might need frequent breaks and would not do...

My adult daughter and I were in Rome for a short time and we wanted to see ancient Rome and take a cooking class. Siena and her team gave us an experience and memories that will last a lifetime. Daniela gave us a tour of the Forum, Colusium and the Palatine that was the equivalent of a college level course... More
