We ended up arranging for a private guide from Through Eternity and could not have been more pleased. Danny (an American who studied in Rome and then returned to live/work there because he loves the city so much. Danny met us at the train station and did a great job fitting in everything we wanted to see during our one day in Rome. We were staying in Florence and couldn't resist the opportunity to see Rome, even if just for one day. He was very knowledgeable and interesting. We saw the Colosseum, Forum, Vatican, Trevi Fountain, and more than a few other spots. He delivered us back to the train station in the evening in time for our train back to Florence. While in Rome we traveled via subway, city bus, taxi, and minivan depending upon which was most efficient to get us to our destination. Even though we were in Rome just one day we both felt that we saw the equivalent of several days' sites. And Danny's love of Rome was a delight to experience. It was MARVELOUS and Danny from Through Eternity was the master magician. Note that I ended up with Through Eternity because after a GREAT deal of research that company had the most positive reviews on various websites for multiple guides. Some companies had one or two folks who were consistently commended but Through Eternity received positive comments on several guides.

We used Claudio with a group of people. I would use him again in a heart beat.
