Private cars for tours of Rome with English speaking driver-guide
   
If you decide to tour with me, these are vehicles you'll be driving in:
Mercedes E Class Mercedes "Vito"
Mercedes "E-Class" - Seats 4 + driver Mercedes "Vito" - Seats 8 + driver
The Mercedes E Class is a comfortable sedan which, Mercedes says, can accommodate four passengers plus driver. In reality, it's only comfortable for 3 people plus driver  The trunk is fairly large, but in the past there have been cases in which the luggage of 3 people hardly fitted in it. So unless the group of 4 includes at least one child, it is preferable to you the minivan to tour with 4 people. Obviously the cars is equipped with air conditioning, but what people really like in this car is it's double glass roof through which one can see all around and on above when sightseeing.   The Mercedes "Vito" is a very comfortable and modern minivan. It can accommodate 8 passengers plus driver, but you cannot exaggerate with luggage. It has a triple sun roof with is very handy when sightseeing. Separate air conditioning, front and back, provides good comfort to all the passengers. What makes minivans really good for sightseeing is that you sit up, higher than a regular car, and you can see over the top of the other cars or the parapets of bridges and such. One thing I have to say though, is that the 8th passenger doesn't have a whole lot of room.
