Our guides
Royal Tours is a Roman company. Here are some of the people who will drive you, tell you the stories and make sure everyone is comfortable.
Simone
Driver-guide
Ancient Rome is his thing: he tells the Forum like a detective story and skips the boring dates. The first to notice when someone needs a break.
Mauro
Driver-guide
Knows the traffic of Rome like a river: where it flows, where it stops, and which fountain is empty at which hour.
Francesca
Driver-guide
An art historian at heart. With her, a Baroque church stops being “another church” and becomes the best five minutes of the day.
Valerio
Driver-guide
Patient, precise and funny in two languages. Families with teenagers ask for him: nobody looks at their phone on his tours.
Leonardo
Driver-guide
The storyteller. Guests write that Leonardo knows the history of every stone and makes it sound like gossip from last week.
We had two elderly handicapped parents on our tour and Leonardo was very patient and helpful in making sure they could enjoy it. He made sure we saw everything we wanted to see.
David Ruben
Driver-guide
Great with children and the best photographer on the team. If you want the perfect picture at the Trevi Fountain, ask Ruben.
Ruben was fantastic! He was very accommodating as we had 2 young children. It would have been so hard to walk around everywhere with the kids. Thank you Ruben for everything.
Veronica Alessandro
Driver-guide
He knows the angle at every stop and takes the group picture before anyone asks. Quiet driver, generous with time.
Riccardo
Driver-guide
Calm hands on the wheel and a soft spot for Trastevere and the Ghetto. Good at slowing the day down for guests who walk with difficulty.
Karim
Driver-guide
Grew up between two cultures and makes everyone feel at home in five minutes. The one for large groups: keeps the convoy together and laughing.
And many more
Behind these names is a larger team of driver-guides who, between them, speak English, Italian, French, Spanish and German.
Why golf carts?
We started Royal Tours because we kept seeing visitors exhausted on the cobbles by midday, and grandparents waiting in hotel lobbies while the family went sightseeing.
An electric cart changes that. It is quiet, open to the air, it reaches streets that buses can’t, and it lets everyone in the family share the same day. We keep the company small so that every tour is private and every guest is looked after properly.
