About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- munawarmannan0 contributionsAll round great experienceDid not book in advance and expected to get shafted on price. Thankfully this was not the case. We received a price from Fabio that was ÂŁ15 less than Uber. Brilliant. When we got to the car it was much nicer than we expected and very comfortable. Driving was safe despite the horrible Rome roads. arrived to our hotel safe and in good time. Would use again if I return to Rome. Fabio was a great guide.Written 21 December 2018
- muhammedhaque0 contributionsFabio is brilliantVisited Rome for a short visit with friends, and we were lucky enough to have Fabio as our first Italian contact and driver! He drove carefully and got us to our hotel. He was a joy to talk to, and he also gave us a lot of local knowledge we wouldn’t be able to get elsewhere. We really enjoyed his opinions on Rome and his tips about where to visit - it helped us plan our trip a lot more and made sure we were efficient with our time. Fabio was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and a great guy to know. I cannot recommend him enough, and if you’re ever in Rome make sure you get Fabio as your taxi driver!Written 21 December 2018
- himle20170 contributionsExceptional service from FabioReturned last week from a whirlwind business trip to Rome. I’ll never visit Rome without contacting Fabio first. From our airport arrival, through the ever so narrow streets of Rome, to the countryside at Castel del Gandolfo and...at last...back to the airport, Fabio was with us. His professionalism, skills and knowledge of the area made the trip superb.Written 17 March 2018
- Aaron R0 contributionsGreat ride!Fabio picked us up at the airport and delivered us safely to our hotel in his large and beautiful car. Speaks great English and recommended the best restaurant we ate at.Written 25 July 2017
- gregorymO5793DY0 contributionsHighly recommended!Fabio Manduca was excellent! Punctual, great English, beautiful clean new Mercedes van, detailed knowledge of Roman, Italian and Vatican history. Very happy to take the time to recommend him and his company.Written 14 June 2017
- Kathy M0 contributionsPrompt & ProfessionalWe used this wonderful service for a transfer from Assisi to Rome. Our driver, arrived in a spotlessly clean beautiful Mercedes sedan and had 2 waters for us in our cup holders. He was incredibly kind, spoke excellent English, and was a wealth of knowledge and information! He gave us tips for Rome and we enjoyed his company and conversation very much! He even stopped for us to get a sandwich at a local sandwich shop, and stopped for us to go to an ATM as well. We loved this service and will use them on our next trip! They were great with responding via email both before I left the US, as well as after we were in Italy. I highly recommend this company!Written 11 June 2017
- William K0 contributionsManduca and Luciano the MagnificentMr. Luciano aka Lucky gave us a ride from the airport to our hotel in Rome. Saying we were "Lucky" to land in his limo is an understatement. Mr. Luciano guided us through Rome's busy Saturday night car and pedestrian traffic effortlessly pointing out highlights of the city along the way. Three days later, Fabio Manduca, a colleague of Mr. Luciano picked us up at our hotel in spotless new limo and proved himself just as knowledgeable.Written 8 June 2017
- Amy E0 contributionsHighly Recommend!Fabio Manduca is wonderful! He was very professional and insightful. The vehicle was a new Mercedes - top notch!Written 6 June 2017
- Joshua M0 contributionsReally helpful! Grazie FabioI and my family arrived at 30th May. And used the cozy and luxurious Van. If you are travelling with 6 or 7 people, than USE it!!! The driver FABIO are really friendly and would like to give you some tipps!Written 30 May 2017
- Tom C0 contributionsThe best driver!When my family and a couple who are family friends came to Rome, we thought that we would just take the bus or train into the city but it was raining so we said why not, let's just take a car. We are so glad that we made that choice since we could meet Fabio, who drove us in from the airport and gave us a ton of useful information on the ride in. In fact he was so good and friendly that we asked him to drive us from Florence to Rome the next week after we had taken the train from Rome to Florence in the middle of the week. The trip from Florence was super comfortable and Fabio even took the time to take us on some side sightseeing along the way. It sure beat taking the train! Fabio has a spacious and comfortable Mercedes van that seats up to 7; there were a total of 6 of us with luggage and we fit in very comfortably. He also is very punctual and has a great attention to details and service. We will definitely ask Fabio to drive us again the next time we are in Rome or in Italy, for that matter. Great all around!! Thank you, Fabio!Written 2 April 2017

- Pavel M0 contributions6/5 rating!We did a return aiport-downtown journey with Fabio and it was just great! Got loads of tips not just for this stay, but also for the future ones to explore this part of Italy. I must mention great English and even better sense of humour! Awesome Roma experience, we have found our driver and guide for the next visits! Highly recommended to all!Written 11 September 2016

We have used Fabio and his team several times and their service is excellent! Their attention to our needs is always outstanding and they ensure that we are exceeding expectations on every visit. We have referred at least 15 friends and all have enjoyed the services that are provided. All continue to use his services. We couldn't be more pleased and know that you will too!

Booking with Fabio was easy, We met our guide outside of the Vatican Museum at a pre-arranged site. We booked a 3 hour small group private tour. The guide (Danielle (sp?)) was extremely knowledgeable. Before entering the Vatican Museum he provided us with an overview and history. He was personable and easy to talk with and ask questions. We also toured the Sistine Chapel and St Peter's. In St. Peter's he took us down to the lower level where the original chapel once stood.
Fabio offers other tours, but unfortunately our travel plans did not allow for other tours.
I would highly recommend using Fabio for your Rome tour needs.

We did not visit Rome on this trip however, we contacted Fabio to help with our trip to Lucca, Italy. He arranged for us to be picked up at the airport in Pisa, he arranged a full day wine country tour (Volterra), and he arranged for our transportation back to the airport in Pisa. Everything went smoothly. Our first driver Emiliano, for the airport pick up and the wine country tour was amazing. He was polite, knowledgeable and personable. The transportation was excellent, clean and comfortable. Our driver, Andrea, for the return to the airport was also great. I will definately use Fabio as our "go-to" person in the future.

We were in Rome three years ago with our daughter and son-in-law and had an amazing experience with Fabio and his team, so needless to say when we were there this week, we went to the well again and reached out to Fabio for all our limo needs. It is so comforting to know you have someone that is reliable and prompt when you are abroad, and Fabio fits that bill. They get our highest recommendation and when we return, Rome Tours Connections will be our go to Firm! Thanks, Fabio.

My husband and I just returned to Chicago, IL from a 3 week trip to Italy to get married and enjoy our honeymoon. We eloped and planned this trip in less than 2 months, so it was a full-time job trying to get everything planned and ensure that we had all of our accommodations, travel, tours and sight-seeing all perfect for our once in a lifetime trip. This can be quite challenging when it is not easy to just call someone in Italy and speak to them about what you are looking for. Thankfully, my husband had been to Italy with his family 4 years ago, and the one person he spoke about constantly was this guy Fabio. All I heard for years was “Fabio this and Fabio that,” and at times it sounded like this guy was too good to be true…almost made up. Well, let me tell you, Fabio Manduca is THE REAL DEAL!
Fabio is top notch in every way, shape and form, as are his staff and various walking tour guides with whom he partners. Fabio is professional, courteous, extremely knowledgeable, enthusiastic, personable, and damn good at his job! He is simply THE BEST – hands down! We scheduled Fabio (one of his drivers actually) to take us from Naples to Ravello, where we got married. We rode up the windy streets, through the mountains in a clean, comfortable, Mercedes SUV, equipped with water, free wi-fi, candies, air conditioning, etc., better than any limousine service. Then, during our stop in Florence, Fabio arranged a walking tour for us with one of the best tour guides I have ever had. He then took us to Tuscany for the day to visit one of the best Chianti wineries, followed by stops at two smaller towns known for pecorino cheese and other types of wine. A few days later, Fabio met us in Rome and spent 2 full days taking us all around Rome, arranging tours at the Vatican, taking us to the Colosseum, out to the country-side of Rome to see the first road built in Rome, all the way to the Pope’s summer home overlooking a beautiful lake. At each stop along the way, Fabio ensured that we never had to wait in any lines for the tours and he knew all of the ins-and-outs to ensure we were given the best service possible. He even recommended the best restaurants at each stop along the way during our tour of Italy. We felt like celebrities when we were with Fabio (in fact, he has had many celebrity clients as well). Our trip ended with Fabio sending another one of his top-notch guys to drive us to the airport in a luxury car, with full on professional and courteous service.
Fabio and his company, Rome Tours Connections are truly one of a kind. You will not regret hiring him for the best Italy experience ever. He was a huge reason why my husband and I had the most amazing trip to Italy and the most perfect wedding and honeymoon. We were so impressed by Fabio and Rome Tours Connection, and enjoyed Fabio so much that we have already told him we will be using his services again next summer when we return for another visit to Italy. Fabio is more than a driver, a wealth of knowledge, and an expert of Italy. We consider him a friend now, and will continue to use him and recommend him to everyone we know who is looking for their perfect Italy vacation. We cannot thank you enough, Fabio, for making our Italy vacation, wedding, and honeymoon truly magical! We will see you again next year! Ciao!

If you’re booking a trip to Italy, right now you’re probably searching the internet trying to research and schedule some great tours and maybe find transportation between the cities you want to visit. Well I have some good news for you, you’ve found your one stop shop…and his name is Fabio Manduca.
First off, the clothes…on point. The man can dress. The car? A brand-new Mercedes van, oh so sweet. Let’s talk professionalism - it’s so high it’ll escape through the hole in the ceiling of the Pantheon. His knowledge is so impressive, he knows more about Italy than I know about myself. And the greatest part of all? You can understand everything he says, because he somehow speaks better English than most of America.
My wife and I just spent three weeks in Italy and we used Fabio Manduca’s services multiple times with great success. First, we had a transport in that beautiful Mercedes from Naples to Ravello on the Amalfi Coast. The following week we spent a full day with Fabio traveling all around Tuscany, going from the famous Antinori winery to the small but wonderful towns of Pienza and Montepulciano. The same week Fabio organized a private walking tour of Florence for us with a superb tour guide. Finally, we spent two separate days in Rome with Fabio, a full day tour of the city, and another visiting the Vatican (where he provided another great tour guide), and Castel Gandolfo, the summer home town of the pope.
At every step of the way, Fabio provided great class, professionalism, enthusiasm, and knowledge of the area. We skipped the lines at all the museums and attractions. He even gave us great dinner recommendations.
Does that sound like a good trip to you too? It was the trip of a lifetime, and a great deal of its success is due to Fabio Manduca and his company, Rome Tours Connections. Run, don’t walk, to connect with Fabio now and schedule your trip to Italy. I promise, you won’t regret it.

Fabio was amazing. His fluency in English was an initial plus and then his insider tour and access to places we wouldn't have seen was amazing. His energy and good attitude made everything pleasant. I would say that having him with us each day enhanced our total experience. Ci viddiamo dopo!!
