Private Tour in Rome - recommendations
 
Can anyone recommend a person or site to book private tours of Rome? I searched the board but everything looks several years old. I'd also be open to very small group tours. We'll be in Rome in March and I would like to get some things booked. Thanks in advance!

We used Nancy Aiello Tours this July, they were great, responsive and the allocated guide was great with our young child. Highly recommended.

We used Daniella Hunt for private tours....she is excellent! We used Walks of Italy for small group tours to the Colisseum and Vatican museum and were very pleased with both.

For the Vatican Tour with talks of Italy do you get to bypass any lines?

I just used Walks of Italy for VIP Coloseum Tour, which included Palantine Hill, and the Pristine Sistine tour, which does allow you to bypass lines but once the chapel was it was unbearably crowded.

Yes, the Walks of Italy tour does bypass ticket lines. If you ask for the Pristine Sistine tour with Stuart, he goes straight to the Sistine chapel (when it is practically empty) and then works his way back to the beginning of the museum. He is well known and the guards will let him take some shortcuts in the museum to get his groups back to the front without losing a lot of time.
