Lazio Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

"Arrive as strangers, leave as friends." We began our adventure with a trip to the local market. I felt as though I was shopping with a favorite friend. After a wonderful wander and shopping for supplies we went to their lovely home where we donned aprons and began a day of cooking together in an Italian kitchen. It was such fun! Unbelievable. We made tiramisu, squash blossom appetizers, pasta from scratch (like you read about in novels) and sauce. Hours passed like minutes. We then ate our delicious and beautiful creations on their lovely outdoor patio, adding wine and conversation to our dining. It's impossible to describe what a wonderful, memorable, treasured experience it was. Such lovely people. I will hold it near my heart forever.

This is a 'must do' when visiting Rome! Skip the line with a guide is the easiest and fastest entry. Absolutely magnificent! Our host, Andree was very knowledgeable and kind. Bravo!

I booked this tour through Cool Destinations in Feb 2026. We docked in Rome 2 Aug 2026. From the pickup at the port of Civitavecchia to drop off, Maximus Tour Service was professional and punctual. Our driver was Federico, who was such a patient, calm and reliable person. The vehicle was clean and air conditioned which really helped us in the extreme heat experienced on the day in Rome. We got to see so much in the 8 hours of the tour which makes me want to definitely visit Rome again to spend a few days exploring the city further. I recommend this tour to anyone doing a shore excursion in Rome, value for money indeed. Appreciated the opportunity and service offered by Maximus Tour Service!!! Thank you

Andreas was a terrific tour guide. He took us to the Etruscan neapolis before the crowds and the. A terrific walking tour of his home town including churches, historical buildings, a visit to an artists workshop and the city Etruscan museum. We had lunch at a lovely restaurants he recommended and gelato to finish the day. It was a very full day and worth the cost.

The booking process and communication with Maximus Tour Service was excellent. I was kept updated through to the actual date of the tour. Our guide was Federico, he was patient and such a pleasant person for the duration of our tour. He was punctual and we managed to cover all the sights of Rome within the 8 hour tour. I strongly recommend this service provider and tour of Rome, service levels and content was amazing!!! The comfortable vehicle accommodates 8 people which was perfect for the hot weather on the day. Thank you Federico.

Marco was an excellent driver. Contacted us in advance to tell us the plan. He was where he said he would be when we got there. Very friendly and accommodating. Ask for Marco if you need a ride from the port to Rome.

It’s was lovely. Tiziana was a wonderful guid. We got a good information about Romes history on the to Rome. Big recommendation from us. Not the last time we use oyo tours.

Tizziana is a delight, super helpful, very friendly, clarifies all doubts and gives many recommendations, great if you are going as a family with children, meeting point easy to reach 100% recommended

My daughter and I shared an incredible morning in Orbetello with Silvia. She and her Mother extended us such a warm welcome into their home that we instantly felt like family. After a quick introduction and visit over some delicious bruschetta, we got straight to work making our "ugly, but delicious" cookies and then progressed onto our pasta and tortellini filling. The hands on lessons and recipes that Silvia passed onto us have been in their family for years. We had so much fun making the pasta and tortellini. For the grand finale, we all came together and thoroughly enjoyed the fruits of our labour. What an amazing day with these beautiful women!! We are so grateful to have met them and will cherish and frequently practice their family secrets.

We had a fantastic day in Rome thanks to Anna C who gave us valuable information with a lovely honest tour guide on the coach from port, she was helpful, definitely a credit to the big bus company.

Visiting necropolis was not interesting, waste of time. The rest of the town was interesting, need to be ready for intensive walking.

We had Marco as a driver. He was professional, on time and happy to answer any of our questions. I would recommend him to anyone.

Great. The driver was fun and spoke English well and the tour took us through several towns in one winery.

The tour operator is top tier and they focus on their clients satisfaction during the tour and go out of their Way to have a great time, which we did. We highly recommend this company.

Laura took us on a beautiful tour tailored to our interests with great food, history and talk about her life in the city. Special thanks to Laura for accomodating my wife’s love for photography of the quirky.

One of the best tours we’ve ever had!! My friend and I were on a cruise and our original tour through the cruise line was canceled. We booked the “The Dying City "Civita Bagnoregio" w/wine tasting from Port.” The price was actually better than our cruise line tour and it ended up being a private tour because no one else booked the remaining 4 spots.Mirco was our tour guide and let me tell you…wow! He was SO awesome! He clearly loves what he does and it made the entire day so much fun. He showed us so many scenic locations. My favorite thing was how he would get happy right along with us for the grand reveal of each location because he knew how we felt seeing it for the first time. I loved how much he enhanced the excitement of each of these moments.He gave us current and historical information about what we drove by and what we stopped to see. He pointed out the olive groves and explained some of the farming techniques that are used. We learned a lot about making olive oil that we never knew as we drove.We visited Tuscania, Montefiascone and Civita Bagnoregio. Tuscania was beautiful and very calm because it was early morning. The winery was in Montefiascone and it was called Antica Cantina Leonardi. Our host was fun and knowledgeable. They served food with each glass of wine so we never had to get lunch. The wine was delicious and the location was beautiful. We liked this stop a lot.Last was Civita Bagnoregio. Mirco helped us with our tickets and showed us where to go and we had time to wander into the city of our own accord and walk around. We liked this a lot because we felt free to take as many pictures as we wanted. And photos are definitely something you’ll want to take here. EVERY corner is so picturesque!On the way back to the port, we stopped at an old Roman aqueduct and once we got to town, Mirco brought us to a well known gelato shop, Chalet del Pincio.Mirco was a very safe driver. I felt like we were in good hands all day. His personality is so warm. One of my favorite tour guides yet. Mirco and My Love Italy will definitely be on our top recommendation list for our clients traveling through this area!
