Una exeriencia diferente!
Nuestra experiencia con Nicola fue, como poco, interesante. Hicimos un paseo interesante con mezcla de historia, comida, anécdotas y arte urbano. Nos gustó mucho y me pareció un plan interesante para ir con un adolescente!
Nicola estuvo abierto a hablar en los tantos idiomas que sabe y transmitió muy bien en español así que, los españoles que se animen a este bonito paseo!
Gracias Nicola! Un 10!

Great start for our First day in Rome
Valentina fue excelente. Tiene muchísimo conocimiento en el arte y arquitectura de Roma. Este tour no es en el centro turístico pero todo lo que aprendimos nos ayudó cuando visitamos otras áreas de Roma. Valentina es increíble!

Gelato + Kindness = Better Than a Tour!
Emanuele was such a wonderful host and guide—spending time with him honestly felt more like hanging out with a local friend than being on a tour. He even sent me the exact meeting spot with photos ahead of time (so even I couldn’t get lost 😅)
He showed me some really fun spots, like the gelato stand where the Obamas once stopped (yes, that famous one!). We stopped in and had some ourselves.
Along the way, he shared stories and explained little details—like why the statues in the fountains look so crisp and white—that really brought Rome to life. Where the Embassies were and where Julias Caesar was assassinated.
I’d reached out before the tour to let him know I have celiac disease, and he went above and beyond: sending me a list of gluten-free resources and even checking in the next day to see if I had questions. That kind of thoughtfulness meant a lot.
What I loved most is that he’s truly local to Rome!
He knows the side streets, the history, and all the stories that make the city so special. The whole experience was relaxed, personal, and genuinely enjoyable. Highly recommend!

Excellent Tour
Simone was an excellent tour guide. He was very personable and knowledgable about the history of the area. It was so fun hearing about the history of Trastevere and about different Roman poets. Along the stops, he’d read a poem in the original language and then translate it, going into the deeper meaning behind the poems. My favorite thing about the tour was getting to connect with a fellow poet. At the end, we both shared poems we each had written, and he even wrote about our tour and about each of our personalities. I’m so glad I found this gem of a tour. It was fun to explore Rome through the lens of poetry. If you’re interested in something a little more unique and love poetry then this tour is for you!
