Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
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.

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.

Guided tour of the House of Livia just opened to the public with the recently restored frescoes was a magnificent experience thanks to the competence and ability to tell of the guide Luca. In truth, the House of Livia was only the last stage of a magnificent journey inside the Roman Forum begun by Trajan's Column. Rich in anecdotes and curiosities the story made us appreciate many monuments in a new key. Thank you very much and as always very good!

We had the illusion of knowing Rome as a family and thanks to Ximena the experience proved a success. The quality and clarity of their explanations, as well as the closeness in the treatment, made us enjoy even more of an impressive city. He helped us with our scheduled visit to Pompeii and recommended excellent restaurants.
It has been a pleasure to meet you and we definitely recommend visiting Rome in your company to give added value to the experience.

Now back from the Baths of Caracalla, a wonderful experience Anastasia, the guide who welcomed us and immersed us in this open-air paradise, was sweet, helpful and competent, unique in her kind. Tour to be done again as soon as possible with the Roma Bella association, to be able to visit other wonders of the Eternal City. Thank you.

We ( a group of three retired adults, a couple and friend traveling together) spent an enchanting 3 days in Rome last September (2012) and much of our enjoyment was due to an excellent tour of the Vatican and St. Peter's Basilica conducted by Ximena Amarales. Ximena is extremely knowledgeable about the art, architecture, history, and politics of Italy and she really helped our understanding of the vast collections on display. We greatly appreciated her emphasis on tailoring the tour toward our interests - she questioned me ahead of our trip so we were able to make the best use of our limited time. In addition to her skills as a tour guide, Ximena is a lovely person - fun to be with and generous. We desperately wanted to visit the Borghese Gallery, a museum that requires advance reservations. Ximena graciously helped us obtain the reservation on the only day we could squeeze in the visit and made sure we had all the necessary details and paperwork for admittance to the gallery. We hope to visit Italy again and would welcome spending more time with Ximena!

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.

We took Roma-Bella's Ancient Rome and Vatican tours. Both tours were outstanding and we completely enjoyed the time we spent with Ximena Amarales. From the first time I e-mailed to inquire about scheduling the tours, Ximena was so helpful to tailor our tours to provide what my husband, my 90 year old father and I were interested in seeing. Ximena is warm, kind and knowledgeable. She shared her wealth of knowledge of Rome and its history. I was fascinated by all we learned. She brought the Colosseum and the Vatican to life.
Between the time we scheduled the tours and when we traveled to Rome, my dad's ease of mobility changed. Ximena assisted in arranging for use of a wheel chair and was so great in making sure we were able to see as much as possible on our tours.
I cannot say enough about how happy we were to have chosen Ximena as our tour guide in Rome.

Having only a short amount of time after a cruise to tour Rome we decided we had to make a trip to the Colosseum and Ximena Amarales made this a Colossal experience. Ximena speaks Spanish, Italian and English fluently, so our first meeting at our Hotel put us at ease to have someone who could speak our language, English, so clearly and succinctly. Our tour of the Colosseum gave us knowledge that we had not attained prior to this visit. She took her time explaining each part of this historic structure which will forever remain in our memories of Rome. When we return we will definitely book Roma-Bella for an even more in depth tour of Rome, sadly, we just ran out of time. We highly recommend Ximena Amarales whether you need your tour in Spanish, Italian or English. It will be an epic memory not soon forgotten.

This has got to be the BEST tour I've ever taken! Led by architectural historian Ximenia Amarales we discovered the Seven Hills of Rome and much more from the back of a scooter. Ximenia's commentary relayed through a headset was at all times interesting and informative and gave us previously unknown insights to the life of ancient Rome as well as a few funny stories. Our drivers were confident and experienced in weaving their way through the pretty scarey Rome traffic while ensuring our safety with their expert driving skills. I have visited Rome many times yet most of what I learned on this tour was new to me. If you like to so something different and get off the well known tourist trails then this tour is a must do. Ximenia will tailor the tour to suit your tastes based on previous visits and the 3 hours simply flies in. Pick up and drop off at our hotel was also included. Check out her website

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
XIMENA AMARALES
