Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We took the private tour to the Coliseum (1 hour) with Julieta, our guide in Spanish and it was great! Just what we wanted.

If you want an in depth commentary of the history of the magnificent city of Rome whilst zipping from one monument to another on an iconic Vespa, than this is the tour for you. Ximena knows her stuff and tailor makes a tour according to your wishes. The fun of following her from one place to the other, whilst hearing her commentary, makes it so much fun. Scooter driving knowledge is recommended.

As this was my children’s second trip to Rome, but my husband’s first, we asked for a tour of everything we knew he would love as well as a few things my girls and I hadn’t yet seen the year before. It was a blast! So, so much better than the big tour operators we have used in many European cities! This tour was reasonably priced and far more fun than others we’ve been on.
Ximena is so personable and was able to engage our 10/11 year old girls but also to keep my husband and I fascinated with the history of beautiful Roma all day long. Her recommendation for lunch was also perfect for us. Big tours clearly pick restaurants that will be cheap for them, give a good referral fee, etc. but on this day we truly enjoyed an exceptional neighbourhood restaurant, as well as having time to visit a local farmer’s market for fresh snacks.
We will always recommend Roma-Bella Tours to all of our friends.

Visiting Rome for the first time from New Zealand with our daughter and her partner - both architects - we felt very lucky to have stumbled upon Ximena's webpage. We had the most wonderful time following her whilst listening to her in-depth knowledge of history and architecture and her many anecdotes. Having a private tailor-made tour with Ximena really brought Rome to life and made it an unforgettable experience. Very informative, lively and bereft of any boredom! Thank you Ximena for your time and your kindness. Hope our paths cross again some day! :)

It was so challenging for me, be your guide and sharing with your family my Roman experience and knowledge. I wish I could have had more time to show you other places. For me it was a pleasure.
I hope you can return some day to Rome.
All my best to you and your family.

We travelled to Rome for the first time with our 3 kids (14,13 and 9 years old ) in June 2019. We wanted some fun and educational Rome tours for the kids and Ximena came highly recommended through a friend and she didn’t disappoint. Being an architect her vast knowledge of Ancient Rome was amazing and she had us interested and engaged by her thorough knowledge. We loved both half day tours of Ancient Rome and the colosseum and the Vatican And Sistine chapel. Ximena picked us up at our apartment and we were pleased about not lining up long with hundreds of people in the heat, a definite perk of having a private tour !
We highly recommend Ximena from Roma-Bella, you won’t be disappointed with her tours.

Went to the Coliseum several times, one of my best places to visit. Exploring the inside, energy rises hearing the roar of the crowd and seeing the gladiators.

Ximena took my wife and I and our three kids (ages 10,10 and 12) on the Ancient Rome tour one afternoon and a tour of the Vatican the following morning. She was well engaged with our kids. That is a lot of information for kids but she did a great job in putting many things in a perspective they would understand. She even arranged our transfer to the cruise port for us when we finished with her. This is the second time I have toured with Ximena and I would highly recommend her services.

Ximena was absolutely fabulous. My husband and I did 2 full days with her (private tour). We did the Vespa tour and walking. There is no way we could have covered so much ground any other way. Amazing sites, and she was so informative. We saw everything we wanted to see and more. We did not stand in any lines. Loved every minute of it.

Ximena showed us the Rome we always wanted to see and hear about. Her knowledge and her ability to relate it made this the best guided tour we have experienced in any of our travels. She is extremely professional and every detail while booking our tour was handled quickly and efficiently. I would highly recommend her to anyone who desires a truly first class tour of Rome.

Gentile cliente
Vi chiedo scuse se rispondo con questo ritardo, ma ho visto la sua richiesta solo ora. Per quanto riguarda la sua richiesta, ci dovremmo rivolgere alle imprese che fanno questo servizio di navigazione e bisognerebbe prenotare il biglietto. Una volta arrivati a Ostia io posso farvi la visita guidata della antica città porto di Roma
Vi prego farmi sapere se ancora siete interessati e vi invio altri dettagli.
Grazie e cordiali saluti
