Five Australians booked a Segway of Florence tour through Odyssey Tours Rome in April whilst touring Italy. We had also booked the Vatican tour (fantastic,highly recommended) previously and therefore knew we would get great value. The Segway tour was 3 hours with excellent training on these contraptions. A great guide and an easy way to cover lorence in a hurry... More

Your tours of ASSISI and UNDERGROUND ROME were excpetional! The guides shared historical details about the sites at both an academic and practical level. The "UNDERGROND ROME" tour provided and amazing rare experience that took us back as close as one can get to 2,000 years ago. It's a higly recommended tour for travelers who have religious/historical interest. Travelers rarely... More

"I just went to Rome with a friend and was told to check out tours with Odyssey. So we booked a Vatican walking tour and the Colosseum and Forum. Both these were great and our guide knew so much history but also made it a fun and enjoyable experience....after all we were on holiday and didn't want to totally get... More

My mother and I took a mother-daughter trip to Rome for her 80th birthday. She is in great shape and enjoyed all the tours that I scheduled. Our Vatican Tour had a very informative tour guide. Although I had already been to the Vatican, I learned so much more on this tour. We also went to Capri, Florence and Assisi.... More

Did a tour of old rome and the colloseum, our tour guide was very knowledgable and friendly. Like most parts of rome, definitely worth seeing with a guide so you can understand exactly what you're looking at when you come up to it. The small groups that odyssey puts together are perfect, as you don't feel like a complete nonce... More

I traveled to Rome last month with friends to celebrate a birthday milestone and after such a great experience with tours by Odyssey the last time I was there, I had no hesitation in using them again for my private tours this time around. We visited Vatican Museum, St Peters and also had a tour through Trastevere - hearing all... More

My wife and I booked a tour of Naples and Pompeii with Odyssey. Apparently, they outsourced our tour with another tour group (Carrani). Our tour ended up being fine, but reading reviews of this tour group, we ended up being lucky. Would not book with this tour group again, you are not sure what you are getting. More

I do thank you for your comments and I am pleased to hear that your tour of Naples and Pompeii was fine. When researching the best of the larger bus companies that operate in Rome, we did find that, even with some problems, Carrani was definitely the best of the operators, which is why we decided to use them as...

Odyssey receives mostly very favorable reviews and is why I used them for my full day in Rome. Unfortunately, I was not aware they utilized co-operators until the time of the tour and I had a less than favorable experience. There were delays, the co-operator trying very hard to collect from me again saying that I had never paid, long... More

I am sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your tour experience with our bus co-operator, Carrani and that it did not seem clear to you that the tour was outsourced to them. We do provide full disclosure of this in our confirmation and I have taken on board your comments and have now noted this on the tour... More

My wife and I used Odyssey tours for Pisa/Florence and Rome instead of the tours offered by the cruise ship. It worked out to be the right choice. We were able to give Odyssey a list of what we wanted to see, they set it up and pre-bought all the required tickets. We were picked up at the cruise dock... More

Dear Helen, I am pleased to hear that you enjoyed the tour, your guide Carlos and that you loved Italy. With regards to the ages of clients on the tour, it is always hard to know as sometimes there are many younger people. On your particular tour on that date it seems there was not. I am also sorry that... More
