We'd like to hire a private guide for one day and are trying to decide between:
Vatican City & Museum
-or-
Forum, Colloseum and that area

Good morning, a very fun and interesting way to discover the Ancient Rome is without doubt the Segway Tour with personal guide, for more information you can visit www.romesegwaytour.com. Have a great vacation!

Answered by silvia , Roma, Italy

I agree with Mauro, a private guide in the Forum can let you zappreciate much more the site and give you insight details about other visitis including the Vatican tha t you can visit on own or maybe renting an audioguide.
If you need more info you can write directly to us at info@afriendinrome.it or visit our website www.afriendinrome.it

Dear family

Thank you for the request, and it would be a pleasure guiding you all here in rome.

Deciding between vatican city and Ancient city will not be easy as these are the two highlights of rome. I can offer a day tour this would cover both of them in an easy stop & go tour. The vatican musuems ( all the most important galleries , courtyards & monuments ), The sistine Chapel. St peters Basilica. The Roman & Imperial Forums (Inside) and The Colosseum (Inside).
7hr. 50euros/per hour. 350euros. (Lunch & entrances are not included).

This is a private tour and not a group tour, i.e. just you and your family.

Dear Family, thanking for your request!
I agree to choosing a private guide to smell the really spirit of Rome.
I agree to the suggestion of others and I would like to suggest you also my sister that is a guide too. Please, tell me the date when you think to have this tour in Rome and, if you want, I will connect you to my sister. In any case, please don't hesitate to contact me to have more information.
Have a nice journey here in Italy!
Désirée

As my colleagues, I definitely suggest you to hire a private guide for the Roman Forum-Colosseum area.
Walking in the Roman Forum it's easier and more pleasant with an (official) guide, because in the archaeological area there aren't many panels or indications.
Sometimes people get lost, wandering "Where am I??".
For Vatican Museums, there are good books and (as Silvia wrote) even audioguide for rent.
If you want more info you can write me info@allascopertadiroma.it

Hi, to visit the Roman Forum, a guide is essential. Even Romans did not orient themselves among so many ruins. For the Vatican Museums having a guide with you is not indispensable. There are audio guides to rent for a few euros. If you want to be guided in the Roman Forum by a licensed guide who is also an archaeologist contact me at info@archeoguidaroma.it.
