Quick Intro: What’s on Offer?
This review covers a private transfer service that takes you from your hotel in Assisi directly to your accommodation in Rome. Offered by Stefano’s RomeCabs, this door-to-door service promises to make your journey seamless, stress-free, and a bit more luxurious. For a flat rate of $849.68 per group (up to three people), you get your own deluxe Mercedes-Benz vehicle, a professional driver, and the flexibility to sit back and avoid the chaos of public transit.
Two things I really like about this service:
First, the personalized nature of this transfer feels like a real upgrade to the usual bus or train options. Knowing your driver will pick you up at your hotel — and only your group — adds a layer of comfort and exclusivity. Second, the value of not worrying about luggage can’t be overstated. Your belongings stay safely in the vehicle’s luggage compartment, freeing you from hauling bags through crowded stations or urban chaos.
A potential consideration:
While the service is straightforward and highly praised, it’s strictly a point-to-point transfer without sightseeing or stops. If you’re looking to explore on the way or make a sightseeing pause, this isn’t the right choice. It’s mainly aimed at efficient, comfortable transportation from one hotel to another.
Key Points / Takeaways

- Luxury Mercedes Benz vehicle ensures comfort and climate control.
- Professional English-speaking drivers provide a smooth, informative ride — Daniela and Silvio get high marks for punctuality and friendliness.
- Flexible rest stops are available upon request, great if you need a bathroom or a quick break.
- Includes bottled water and all fees, saving you from extra charges.
- No sightseeing or tours included, so plan those separately if interested.
The Experience: How the Journey unfolds

When I read about this transfer, I immediately think of it as a practical way to start or end your Italian adventure without the hassle. If you’ve just finished exploring Assisi’s stunning Basilica of St. Francis or wandered its charming streets, the thought of navigating a train station or bus with luggage might seem daunting. That’s where this service shines.
Booking and Confirmation
Once you reserve your spot through Viator, you’ll receive confirmation within 48 hours, pending availability. The process is straightforward: you provide your hotel address in Assisi, your desired pickup time, and your hotel in Rome as the drop-off point. You also specify your luggage count, which helps ensure the Mercedes is appropriately equipped.
The Driver and the Ride
Reviewers consistently mention the professionalism and punctuality of drivers like Daniela and Silvio. One reviewer notes Daniela arrived promptly, was friendly, and helped with luggage, making the ride feel warm and welcoming. Silvio was early, friendly, and even waited patiently when needed, which is a big plus when your schedule might be tight.
The Mercedes-Benz vehicle offers air conditioning and plenty of room for luggage — a small detail that makes a big difference after days of sightseeing. Bottled water is included, and all taxes and fees are covered, so no surprises at the end.
During the Journey
The ride lasts roughly 2 hours to 2 hours and 20 minutes, depending on traffic. It’s a direct, non-stop route that avoids the unpredictable delays of trains or buses. You won’t have unscheduled stops unless you ask for one, which is useful if you need a quick restroom break at a rest station.
What You Can Expect
You’ll enjoy the sights as you leave Assisi’s rolling hills and head into the urban sprawl of Rome. While this isn’t a sightseeing tour, some drivers may share insights along the way, making the journey more engaging. Plus, knowing your driver is local means you’re in good hands if you need recommendations or quick tips.

Why This Transfer Is a Smart Choice
For travelers prioritizing comfort and convenience, especially those with luggage or tight schedules, this service is tough to beat. It avoids the chaos of train stations, crowded buses, or confusing public transit, letting you focus on the trip rather than logistics.
For first-time visitors or those arriving late, the reliable pickup and drop-off can reduce stress. Knowing your driver will be punctual and friendly — with excellent reviews to back it up — adds peace of mind.
If you’re traveling with a small group (up to three), the cost per person becomes more reasonable, especially considering the value of avoiding multiple train tickets or taxi fare splits.
On the downside, since it’s a point-to-point transfer with no sightseeing included, it doesn’t serve travelers wanting to explore along the way. If your goal is a scenic or multi-stop journey, you might want to consider other options.
Who Will Love This Service?

This transfer is perfect for luxury-minded travelers or those with tight schedules who prefer door-to-door service. It’s especially valuable if you’re arriving in Assisi or leaving for Rome with heavy luggage or simply want a hassle-free start or end to your Italian trip.
It’s also a good fit for first-timers who want to avoid navigating unfamiliar train stations, or for groups who appreciate personalized service. The drivers’ professionalism and friendliness are often highlighted in reviews, making the experience feel genuinely welcoming.
Price and Value: Is It Worth It?

At around $850 for up to three people, this might seem pricey compared to train tickets or taxis. However, when you factor in the comfort, convenience, and peace of mind, it quickly becomes clear that this service offers value. You’re paying for a private, direct route with no stress, reliable pick-up, and a vehicle equipped for comfort.
For couples or small groups, especially those traveling with luggage, the cost per person can be justified by the time saved and the comfort gained. Plus, the included bottled water and all fees covered add to the overall value.
The Bottom Line
If your priority is a seamless, comfortable transfer from Assisi to Rome — avoiding public transit chaos and luggage hassles — this private service from Stefano’s RomeCabs is hard to beat. The drivers’ professionalism, the luxury vehicle, and the flexible rest-stop options make it a smart choice.
While it’s more expensive than taking a train or bus, that premium pays off in peace of mind and comfort, especially after a busy day exploring Assisi. It’s ideal for travelers who value personalized service and want a smooth start or end to their Roman holiday.
