Huge thank you to Sabino for his amazing personalized tour of the eternal city. As soon as we stepped off our cruise ship, Sabino was waiting there with his roomy Mercedes van to take my party of four (including an elderly disabled woman with a walker) on an incredible eight hour tour. Sabino’s encyclopedic knowledge of history, religion, art, architecture, politics, and human nature, along with his humor, made for a fascinating and entertaining day. He drove us around the entire city, to all of the major sites and hidden gems. Along the way, we stopped for coffee and pastries at a neighborhood bar, mingled with locals, and then hit some iconic spots for photos. Sabino drove us through areas and piazzas inaccessible by most cars so we could get the vibe from the many neighborhoods. The benefit of the overview is that we identified which areas we wanted to return to the next few days that interested us. I highly recommend Sabino if you want to experience Rome in a day so you can maximize the rest of your trip and focus on the sites that really interest you.
