First time in Rome and first time using With Locals. This is a private tour in every sense and we couldn’t be happier with our experience with Max! He tailored everything to our preferences (including breakfast place recommendations and switching meeting place to our Trastevere neighbourhood). With our two boys (15 & 11) and in an actual heatwave, Max made sure we saw all the key sights, found us shade and water (and gelato) along the way and held their attention the whole time. His knowledge of history, culture, religion, art and literature was so impressive and he peppered it all with hidden gems and local history stories off the beaten track. This was the best start to our Rome visit and Max’s recommendations helped us fill the next day too. No hesitation in highly recommending Max! Best possible introduction to Rome

He had a wonderful time walking with and learning from Max. He is incredibly engaging, crazy smart, but has the agility to communicate with individuals of all ages and interests. Max knows art, architecture, philosophy, history….but you could have a whole normal conversation with him, and never know he is such an adapt intellectual. He is very easy to talk to, and we absolutely loved spending time with him! I would suggest him to guide any tour, he will really make you think or he can just make you laugh! Players choice…thank you, Max!!Max is Fantastic!

Paola was marvellous! She met us punctually & showed us so many more excellent points of interest than we could have imagined we could cover in three hours. We saw history, local culture & even strayed on to politics & identity. We did not fee crowded or rushed, it was most enjoyable & interesting. A taste of supli in a tiny local favourite cafe was a highlight. We asked Paola for a recommendation on a local bar where she ended our tour with a chat & then farewelled us to sit, reflect & people-watch. Perfecto! Charming, passionate local perspective.

We’d seen the sights before, but Simone brought them to life in a completely new way. His storytelling added colour, context, and depth to every stop and his kind, relaxed approach made the whole experience a joy. We also really appreciated his brilliant local tips and restaurant recommendations for the rest of our time in Rome. Highly recommend!Stories Behind the Stones

22 junio 2025

Simone was a hoot! It was a very casual and fun tour, with Simone very easy to speak with and making for a very fun tour. He personalised our tour on the fly and provided some great tips on where we could explore once our tour had finished. Our daughter slept in the pram for majority of the tour, but that didn't hold us back from touring the city. There was plenty of history, culture and insight into the Roman way of life, told through his eyes. We covered lots of ground (which we were very much open to). We stopped at a small local coffee shop much to my husband's delight and a pizza place - the best I'd sampled in Italy. Many thanks Simone. Laid back tour covering lots of ground

Francesca was a wonderful guide. Despite the heat she kept us and our teenagers engaged and interested in the art and history of Rome. She is clearly passionate about her work, and is able to make her knowledge relatable. She adjusted her tour as we went to include a savory snack of local Roman pizza which was delicious. We would hire her again for another tour if we had more time! History and art

(About local Simone)

19 junio 2025

In the three hours we were with Simone, We learned more about Rome than in the four days we spent here several years ago. He was able to teach history to my 21 year-old gamer through parallels from the game Assassin‘s Creed which one of the series was based in Rome. He kept my daughter captivated with the history, my husband with the ghost stories and me- I totally geeked out the whole time. I can’t tell you how refreshing it was to get a tour with someone like him. It was our first time using the Withlocals app. We had been canceled a couple times Withlocals with other tour guides- which we were really worried was going to happen again. But he showed up not only in person, but truly in The spirit of a true historical guide. I am so lucky that my children’s first experience in Rome was with someone like him. I would definitely book him for other tours. The other reviews are 100% true. Worth every dollar and more.Best tour in years— kept EVERYONE engaged!

Die Führung mit Niko war absolut fantastisch! Er hat uns mit spannenden Geschichten und vielen interessanten historischen Fakten begeistert. Besonders toll war, wie lebendig und verständlich er selbst komplexe Zusammenhänge erklärt hat – nie trocken, immer unterhaltsam. Niko ist zudem auf all unsere Fragen eingegangen und hat sich viel Zeit für uns genommen. Mit seiner sympathischen und offenen Art hat er die Tour zu einem echten Highlight gemacht. Wir können ihn wärmstens weiterempfehlen!Fantastische Führung durch Rom mit Niko

Max did a terrific job with our group that varied from 10 years old to 68 years old! He paced the journey just right for us and was very prepared with our requests and ideas. It was like strolling around with a good, old-time friend. He had such a great handle on a variety of topics and historical contexts, and his English was phenomenal. We had a very educational and memorable day because of Max. Charming Historian!

This was our first time using the With Locals platform. We loved that we got to pick our guide and that we were put in contact with him after booking, allowing for easy communication. Our group was a mix of people who had been to Rome before and some who hadn’t, including two small children ages 5 and 3. Max was able to put together a tour that kept everyone entertained. He was extremely patient with our two children. He showed us a wonderful toy store and played games with the children along the tour. We were able to see all of the main highlights in the city center with some hidden gems for those of us who had been to Rome before. We really could not have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Max to anyone visiting Rome in the future. Thank you again Max for an afternoon well spent!!Afternoon in Rome

I had never been to Italy and I don't know anyone who lives there, so I wanted to start our week off with a general understanding of our context. Francesca exceeded my expectations; we all learned SO much from her. Importantly, I was able to make connections to what she taught us all throughout the rest of our trip. She helped me to understand how the city of Rome is constructed, the Baroque style of art that we saw in so many places, and so much more. She was attentive to the needs of our group of five and worked in a break for my mom to sit down in a cool church. She kept my 10- and 11-year-old daughters engaged. (Their review of Francesca is "she was nice!"). She ended the tour with a recommendation for a pizza place that even by the end of the trip (and after tasting many pizzas), remained my kids' favorite. The three hours went by very quickly. Booking this tour was definitely one of the best decisions I made. I highly recommend Francesca.Worth it!

My family and I did our first walking tour of Rome with Max. Max wss super communicative from the start, chill and very easy to talk to . He’s funny, kind and very accommodating . We had 2 kids who weren’t always the best behaved through the 3 hour tour ( some tantrums and fights along the way) but he was super patient and went with the flow. He took us to this amazing gelato place too :) Max had lots of stories to tell which made all the history so fascinating - his depth of knowledge and all those details that he knows are clearly impressive . We had an amazing tour - and would highly recommend him to anyone ! Great walking tour !

Simon provided us with an absolutely outstanding walking tour of Rome that exceeded all our expectations. His deep knowledge of Roman history brought every monument and landmark to life with fascinating details and lesser-known facts that you simply won't find in guidebooks. He easily navigated us to all the attractions we requested while sharing interesting stories and historical context at each stop. Simon treated us to authentic pizza and gelato from neighborhood spots that we never would have discovered on our own. These touches made the experience feel special and gave us a true taste of local Roman life. Simon's knowledge, and genuine care for providing an exceptional experience made our day in Rome unforgettable. If you're looking for a guide who will show you the real Rome while ensuring you see everything you want to see, Simon is your person. We couldn't have asked for a better introduction to the Eternal City! Exceptional

We thoroughly enjoyed our morning tour with Francesca. She is a lovely and delightful young woman and we felt comfortable with her from the very start of the tour. Her vast knowledge of art history and the historic center of Rome was impressive. It made for a very fun, interesting and entertaining tour. We learned so many things that we would have never known had we tried to investigate the city on our own. She provided many helpful insights and then followed up with a very informative text that provided additional information. We highly recommend Francesca - she clearly loves her city and is a marvelous representative.Francesca is a treasure!

Francesca was the perfect guide. We were looking for places away from the main tourist attractions with a focus on art history. Francesca provided an insightful and interesting tour of several historic art locations across the city. It’s also great when you can connect with your guide which Francesca did with my wife and me. Such a lovely person. It really made our visit to Rome. Thank you Francesca!The Perfect Guide

We spent a few hours walking the streets in the historic center of Rome with Simone. He was very knowledgeable about the history of Rome and a very engaging conversationalist. He quickly adapted to what we were interested in hearing about and seeing and tailored the tour accordingly. Also, he introduced us to Roman pizza which was amazing as well as stopping off at a place with 152 flavors of gelato. I highly recommend Simone as a guide who will tell you and show you things about Rome and it's history that you likely didn't know about!Hidden Gems of Rome

A casual stroll about the city, but worth every turn and dodged Vespa! We were shown epic churches, wine shops, lunch places and local spots! We ended up going back for lunch / espresso at recommended spots! Epic! We were shown “off the tourist” path things- details you can research unless a local shares the details! Highly recommend and will book next time here for further info to Rome! Worth it in so many ways!

Being on a business trip in Rome and with some spare time in the evening I decided to go to downtown Rome to see something of the cultural treasured of Rome. Alone in an unknown city it's maybe boring and you run around aimlessly. Having a lot of positive experience with the Withlocals service in many other places of the world I decided to book a guide. Everything went very well. Simone showed me some hidden places, the Pantheon and we had a nice talk. Almost at the end of the tour we walked up a little hill where I had a wonderful overview over the Forum Romanum and on the other side I could see the St.Peters cathedral. In this momentan I heart the bells of the cathedral ringing and I knew it must be the announcement of the new Pope. Simone realized that this is important for me and offered me to bring me to the St.Peters Place. It was quite a long walk along the Tiber river but we made it in time and I became part of the historical event when the new Pope entered the balcony. Although the booked time was long over he stayed with me and finally brought me to a place where I could order a taxi to go back to the hotel. Simone is definitely a nice person and a great guide with an excellence sense for his customers. I can fully recommend him. He is fully engaged and it's nice to talk to him. Simone thanks for this unforgettable tour.Habemus Papam!

Dear Max, We thoroughly enjoyed our morning with you during our recent trip to Rome. From the very beginning, the communication was excellent. We appreciated you meeting us at our hotel in Trastevere and how you tailored the tour to perfectly suit our group of four. You were incredibly engaging, knowledgeable, and interesting, and you answered all our questions with detail and good humour. Having taken many private tours, we can confidently say that this was the best experience we could have hoped for. You truly exceeded our expectations in every way.

This was the absolute best tour. You must book with Simone if you want to have a unique and fun experience. Simone was warm and engaging. He took us to many important sites in the city but also mixed in fun stops to sample cheeses, meats, wine and Roman pizza. We ended the tour on top of this beautiful spot with views of the city, including St Peters. There was a lovely restaurant with stunning views. A perfect way to end our trip. We wished we had booked Simone for another day. I highly recommend Simone. A day to remember

We went into churches that we would definitely have missed without him. We also caught the changing of the guard at the presidential palace and had a nice beer and a chat in a rooftop bar. Daniele gave us some tips on some other things to see while we were in Rome which were really useful. We highly recommend Daniele as a guide.Daniele is a pleasure to spend time with

We had a really wonderful time with Max, from the moment we met up near Piazza Navona. Not only was he incredibly kind, personable, knowledgeable, and charismatic, he also deeply cares about the history of Rome and sharing it with us. He was very passionate in sharing the hidden gems of Rome and went out of the way when he knew we would really care to see something. His joy and expression when we engaged him with questions and excitement about what he was sharing, only made him want to tell us more. We really appreciated the care and time he took with us, and his great story-telling! He also had great restaurant recommendations for later in our trip, which was great! We have done tours with "with locals" in a few Italian cities and have high-expectations...Max exceeded them. If you see him available for a tour, book him quickly! Thank you so much Max, very much appreciated! Max was a fantastic tour guide!

Our first day in Rome, my husband and I were a little put off by how crowded the city was, even though we are from NYC. I had messaged Simone that night that we had already seen some attractions that we did not want to revisit so he graciously customized the tour to show us other important sites and some hidden gems as well. We spent our second day in Rome with Simone, and he gave us a fresh and unique perspective of his beautiful city. He was very knowledgeable and opened our eyes to the rich historical beauty of Rome. We really enjoyed the day. See Rome with Simone!
