Rome driver

Forgot to say that is for Rome

I was willing to know if any of you hired a private driver to go around the city and if so how much it cost? Can you send me some address or e-mails of people that offer guide tours by car.

thanks

Hi Mc,

Rome has a reasonably good transit system.

Are you looking for a driver or a guide?

We have hired Paolo Appolloni as our driving guide for a half day tour of Rome in May
You will be impressed with his website:
www.drivinguide.com. Paolo has been great checking in with us and he does all kinds of different tours.
Have a great trip!

Interesting... I wonder if Paolo and Emilio are related. Their website info and prices are almost identical, and they have the same email!

htebiram-- Was Paulo recommended to you or did you just find him on the web?

Thanks,
Dina

Mcsampa - The going rate for a private driver is usually about €35 per hour - give or take.

These companies list city tours on their websites:

Hope this helps ...

Dina4,
A friend of a friend recommended Paoli and she knew someone who said he was good. Interesting that Emilio and Paolo have the same e-mail. Paolo never mentioned him in our faxes or e-mails.
When we return, I will let you know how we liked him.

htebiram,
I'd love to hear how you liked him.
I actually emailed Emilio, and Paolo responded! He said Emilio is one of his "collaborators". They must work together.
Have a fabulous trip!
Dina
