I'm booking romeinlimo for some of my pre-cruise time in Rome, thanks to the many accolades here on CC. My questions:
1-They are suggesting an 8 hour tour with a driver, and a guide for the Vatican. Do we need a guide for other sites? Or is the driver usually knowledgeable enough to provide info?
2-Have you ever just gotten a guide at the Vatican rather than scheduled one in advance? If so, how did that work out? Did you still have to stand in line for tickets? Can you just visit the "church" on your own without tickets? (I obviously have lots more research to do! I visited Rome years ago, but I was on a tour and they took care of everything.)
3-Do you tip on top of the fee for the driver, or is it included?
4- Not a romeinlimo question, but has anyone ever done a day trip from Rome to Pompeii? Is that possible?
Thanks in advance for answers to my questions!
Just got back from a cruise and used RIL for our tour of Rome. It was our second time using them. We pre-bought our tickets for the Vatican and Coleseum and it worked perfectly. The 8 hour tour was perfect and the whole tour was awesome. Our driver, Manuel was excellent, and yes, we did tip him. We shared our car with another couple we found on Cruise Critic and had a wonderful day. I would definitly follow Jany's suggestions and you will have a great day touring Rome with them.:):)
