  1. Did anyone do the Catacombs with RIL instead of the Vatican? I've been in contact with them about doing but wondering if anyone else has too.

     

    Yes, we just did that very thing on our recent visit. We notified Jany when we booked the tour that we did not want to do the Vatican but wanted to do the catacombs instead. We also made sure the driver guide knew when he picked us up. No problem. He knew exactly when and where to take us and it was fantastic. For some in our family group of 8, it was the highlight of the day.

  2. I'm a little delayed in writing this but wanted to add my voice to those that have wonderful experiences with Rome in Limo. We used them for transfers as well as two tours in Rome. We found them to be more than punctual, even showing up early at our Rome hotel to transport us to Civitaveccia, and very professional.

     

    While staying Rome, we had Maurizio as a guide for a tour of Rome, hitting all the highlights. We had seen the Vatican already so instead he took us to the catacombs. Maurizio was charming and professional and was particularly attentive to my son and neice (ages 10 and 11). Our group of 8 thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Maurizio and would strongly recommend him and Rome in Limo.

     

    The day we ended our cruise, our family of 3 hired Rome in Limo again for a slightly truncated version of the Etruscan tour with a transfer to the airport (our flight was that evening). Another Maurizio was waiting for us when we got off the Noordam. He suggested a possible modification to the tour as that day there was an English guided tour of the Medieval castle at Bracciano. We happily agreed. So, we started off the day at Cerviteri tromping around Etruscan tombs. Fascinating and fun. There were no crowds as it was still early. We then drove to Lake Bracciano where Maurizio treated us to espresso. If you have not been, Lake Bracciano is beautiful and serene. Then, it was off to the castle for a tour. The castle was lovely. The tour was informative, and the views were spectacular. We then went to Ceri, another Medieval town, where there is a special little church. We had lunch at Ceri in a restaurant that used to be a Medieval prison. The wine cellar, which we were invited to visit, was an old tomb. Again, the views were spectacular and the food was wonderful. Alas, we did not have time for the Etruscan museum as we had to catch our plan. Well, we will just have to go back for more. This Maurizio was just as charming as the first and kept us entertained with his stories. I have decided this was the best day of our trip.
