Sara was fantastic, fun and positive! She did everything from start to finish. We only had to show up! She not only has a wonderful tour, she pre-bought our train tickets having them ready for us to go to Naples from Rome, before we even met her at the train station in Rome to go to Naples. We enjoyed that she took us to places that most tourists do not typically see, and taking us to places where locals eat. Sara was able to show us hidden gems along our tour that we would have missed if she was not with us. She would patiently wait as we went into places she suggested, or if we stopped to buy pretty jewelry from street vendors. She knows exactly where she is going and was observant regarding time. When we would go to Foodie places, we did not stand in long lines. She went to the front person and they immediately had our food ready. The food was excellent and there was plenty of it. She suggested for us to have WhatsApp on our phone, which was very helpful in conversing with her prior to the tour and for an easy meeting point. Great tour and Sara helped us to make some fabulous memories!! Thank you Sara!!! Nibbles in Naples with Sara

We were lucky to have Eleonora as our guide during our visit to the Colosseum and Roman Forum, and she truly made the experience unforgettable. Her passion, and engaging storytelling brought the ancient ruins vividly to life — for both us and our teenagers. She struck the perfect balance between historical depth, fun facts, and interactive moments. It never felt like a lecture — more like a fascinating journey through time. Thanks to Eleonora, we didn’t just see the monuments, we understood the stories behind them. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to experience the true heart of ancient Rome!

Eleonora was the perfect option for me and my 17 year old son. She was knowledgeable and moved at a pace that suited us (fast, but she seems adaptable to other preferences). She also agreed to do the tour on a day that was supposed to be off for her. Very accommodating and knowledgeable. Highly recommended.Quick Tour of the Colosseum

25 July 2025

Of all our tours in Rome, this one was the best. Our small group of four felt like true Romans, walking the side streets of Rome to get to all the sites. Simone explained the history of this marvelous city and took us to some great places off the beaten path. Simone was very knowledgably, informative and patient. It is really refreshing to see someone who truly enjoys his work. We all had a great time. Bravissimo Simone!

Eleonora was an amazing tour guide for our family of five, which included our three children, now young adults. Not having been to the Vatican before, we were so grateful for her knowledge. She had the perfect personality to keep all of us engaged and interested. She covered a lot of information and territory within our 2+ hour tour. Given the volume of crowds, a private tour is definitely the best way to see the Vatican. We highly recommend Eleonora as your private guide!Excellent Private Tour of the Vatican

Paola was an incredible guide—warm, knowledgeable, and full of local insight that made my short visit to Rome truly unforgettable. In just a few hours, she brought the city to life, guiding me seamlessly through iconic sites like the Colosseum, Spanish Steps, and Trevi Fountain. Her deep knowledge added so much meaning to each stop, and she tailored the experience perfectly to what I wanted to see. We ended our tour with an amazing lunch at Angie’s—an absolute gem I never would’ve found on my own. Grazie mille, Paola! You made my first time in Rome so special.Grazie mille Paola!

We had the pleasure of exploring Rome with Paola as our guide, and she made the city come alive in the most engaging and insightful way. Her deep knowledge of Roman history, art, and culture was matched only by her warmth and enthusiasm. Paola struck the perfect balance between storytelling and historical detail, keeping everyone engaged and answering all our questions with patience and passion. She brought us to hidden corners we would’ve never found on our own and helped us appreciate the layers of history beneath Rome’s streets. This tour truly elevated our trip, and we left with a deeper appreciation for the Eternal City. Highly recommend booking a tour with Paola — she’s a gem! An unforgettable experience with Paola!

We spent an afternoon with Simone biking the best of Rome. Not only did he navigate the streets and crowds with ease, sharing much about the history of the places and sites we saw, he shared nuanced insights that added color and character to the tour. We covered a lot of ground, and were able to identify the areas we wanted to spend more time on our remaining day.

I booked an all day private tour with Sara and she was amazing. She was able to speed the tour up and skip a few things to appease our crowd. It was about 100 degrees and everyone was done after a few hours. We still got to see all the highlights we wanted to and had an expert in our pocket throughout the day. Great day with Sara. I cannot recommend her more. Great day in Rome

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.

From start to finish, Romain gave us an incredible experience. He didn’t just guide us through delicious bites—he shared the rich history behind every street and dish, answering all our questions with patience and passion. What made it even more special was how flexible and personalized the tour felt. Whether it was tracking down a specific dish we were craving (hello, fried artichoke—so good!) or taking a break when we needed one, Romain made sure the day was exactly what we wanted. Every stop felt thoughtfully chosen, and the conversations along the way were just as memorable as the food. If you're in Rome and want more than just a generic tour, Romain is your guy. Highly recommend!Unforgettable– History, Flavor, and Heart!

Emanuele is a wonderful guide. We were in Rome for five nights, and we spent time with him for three of them. He showed us marvelous gems that were not crawling with tourists, and is super knowledgeable about Roman history and art. He planned special surprises for our 15 year old son -- including the Capuchin Crypt, a super-creepy crypt decorated with thousands of bones that is definitely worth a visit. He showed us a Michelangelo sculpture of Moses that is an absolute masterpiece in the Basilica of San Pietro in Vincoli, and countless other surprises. He took great care of my 80 year old mother-in-law and made sure that she was not getting too tired on the walks. For part of the tour, we drove around Rome in his car, and we would park and get out and walk a bit, which was a great way to really experience more of the city. Highly recommended.Wonderful guide

I would highly recommend Eleonora if you want to do a private tour of the Vatican/Sistine Chapel. This was the first time at the Vatican for our 18 and 20 year old granddaughters and Eleonora struck the perfect balance of providing interesting info about the most important features of the Vatican museum and Sistine chapel without getting bogged down on any one subject. Even though my wife and I have been to the Vatican several times, Eleonora made it interesting for us as well. She also did a great job of maneuvering our little group through the throngs of tourists. To top it off, Eleonora has a great personality.Best Tour of the Vatican and St Peters

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

Simone is an outstanding tour guide! My family of four, including our two boys aged 11 and 12, did a walking tour of Rome last week with Simone. We chose him because we thought he would be great connecting with our kids, and he delivered. Simone knows the city so well, knows interesting off-the-beaten-track spots that we would never have found on our own, and has lots of interesting stories to share about Rome and Italy, from a historical, architectural, and modern standpoint. He just as easily related to our kids as to us, making the history of Rome come alive for all of us! He also took us to some beautiful churches, and hidden ancient Roman theater, and a fantastic Gelato shop, and made some great recommendations for food.and drinks afterward. I would highly recommend Simone to anyone who wants a fun, fascinating tour from someone who really knows Rome inside and out. Thanks, Simone!!Wonderful Tour of Rome with Simone

We had a very educational and memorable day because of Max. Charming Historian!

First day in Italy, just off the plane, 4 adults and 3 small children. If this first family adventure was to be a success we had to do a Coliseum tour that first day... Eleonora made it happen and with her having an architectural background and with what appeared to be a Nanny's understanding of small children the experience couldn't have been any better. She read her audience (us) recognized what we had just endured and made our first visit of the trip a memorable experience. I will always seek out when traveling "with locals" for that personal feel, friendliness, understanding and on hand to provide quick suggestions for any other assistance you may be in need of. Thank you so much Eleonora for such a wonderful experience. DanEleonora is the best!

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
