Thank you Simone for the wonderful walking tour in Rome! You’ve made it both very interesting and informative for our children 6 and 9 years old and us, adults. It was like a fascinating walk with a friend through his home city with funny stories and secret places with delicious food. Perfect day in Rome👍

Despite terrible weather we had an enjoyable morning with Vania in Rome. She took us to interesting places that would not be obvious to a tourist and gave us some good recommendations. She was interesting to listen to and we would recommend her. Nice morning in Rome

My son and I enjoyed our private tour it was all we were looking for and more! Eleonora provided an individualized experience full of interesting facts and background information, and even sparkled a few refreshing more light-hearted pieces of information into our tour. I definitely recommend Eleonora, and will book her again next time I will come to Rome. John

We hadden een top middag met Vania. Na een heerlijke cappuccino in een historisch tentje nam ze ons mee naar verschillende kerken. Het waren verrassend mooie kerken die niet te druk bezocht werden. Tussen de bezoekjes door wist Vania allerlei weetjes. Heerlijk ijsje gegeten en geëindigd bij wijn bar met borrelplank met Italiaanse vleeswaren. Privé door 't oude Rome

Danielle was a fantastic guide! He accommodated my boyfriends pescatarian diet and his knowledge of the historical neighborhoods we navigated through made this so worth it! Danielle was so kind and friendly and had a smile on his face through the pouring rain on his birthday! We have already revisited the spots he took us to as well as the recommendations he made! So worth it!A Must DO!

Daniele, we asked Daniele to take us to sights and neighbourhoods away from the highlights in central historic room. This he did admirably. Collecting the 4 of us from our hotel, he took us to places we would not have gone to or found by ourselves. His anecdotes and humour also enlivened the walk and have given us a very good memory of a part of hidden Rome. We will happily recommend Daniele and hope to be able to walk with him again on a future visit to RomeA walk through time

I have been to Rome many times but saw places on our tour with Simone that I had never heard of. Her knowledge of the social and political history was impressive and as a native Roman she was able to give nuances of the day tto day lives as lived today and in the past Wonderful hidden sites

I spent a wonderful afternoon on January with Thomas exploring hidden foodie hotpots from the Vatican area and over a bridge to central Rome. We tasted everything from chocolate espresso to arancini, mouth-watering pastries, freshly squeezed pomegranate juice in an old market, to supply and 3 types of pizza. As we walked he also talked about art and history and was mire than happy to customise the tour if needed (he found me an amazing hidden place to photograph Rome from on high). At the end he even found my bus stop for me. Absolutely recommend!Fantastic foodie walk through Rome

We had not planned anything for our last day in Rome so I was looking for a short tour and came across this amazing wine tasting tour. I sent a message to Claudio, and he replied immediately, giving us a tailor made plan for a last minute tour that has been the highlight of our stay! Claudio accommodated our requests and did some last minute changes to the program because it was raining. Wow! Everything was excellent and Simone gave us a lot of information on the process of wine making as well as the wine we tasted at the vineyard. We also enjoyed a fantastic lunch with another wine tasting at a restaurant. Unforgettable!! Claudio is truly amazing, he is incredibly knowledgable, very friendly and will make sure you will have a fantastic experience. Worth every minute!!

We were so happy with Simone. He was so knowledgeable and passionate about all things Rome. My 16 year old daughter and I did this tour on the day of our arrival and it was a perfect start. We learnt a lot very quickly and discovered hidden places that we wouldn’t have known about otherwise. Simone gave us many ideas and tips for restaurants and meals too. His recommendation for an authentic Roman meal in Trastevere was the absolute best! Great experience with Simone

(About local Claudio)

17 January 2025

We had a pleasant tour with claudio. He was a very nice man and had a lot of knowledge. However the tour did not exactly go as we expected. We had no special requests for the tour and we expected the guide to have a clear plan for us, but instead we felt we were wandering aimlessly around the city. The places we visited felt a bit random, even though they were nice. Also, the tour guide did not talk and explain as much as we wanted. All in all this was a mediocre experience. Maybe this tour is suitable for people who have a clearer plan for their tour.Nice but not what we expected

(About local Paola)

13 January 2025

Paula had prepared for our culinary tour very well; she took us to interesting and high quality places. She packed a lot into our two hours: different kinds of food and drinks and we moved swiftly between places. She also included a lot of interesting cultural and especially architectural detail. She had clearly planned our two hours carefully in response to our requests and interests. She was a pleasure to be with and gave us a very enjoyable and useful experience. For the price/value rating, I am aware that the platform adds a very large percentage to the fee which the guide receives, hence the evening is quite expensive. It was definitely useful and enjoyable for us though. Paula is thoroughly professional while being very friendly and easy to relate to.Friendly and very knowledgeable guide

It was a fantastic walking tour with Simone, the actor. We believe he can officially represent Rome, bcoz, he has an in-depth historical knowledge of Rome and explains everything with passion. We got to know so much historical facts of Rome and its history. The socio-political significance of those eras and changes in the society till date. Indeed a valuable knowledge to carry on as memoirs. Thank YouAwesome Historical Rome

What a great tour! Our guide Eleonora made us learn about some roman food specialties but also about the neighborhoods we visited and about Italian culture. She was so funny that the 2.5 hours we spent with her were flying. I could have followed her for a few more hours. Thanks for this wonderful experience, Eleonora!Great tour thanks to Eleonora

Daniele was an amazing guide and was like the dear Roman friend we all wish we had. His insights into Rome, Roman culture and history, architecture, and his knowledge of Italy as a whole is unmatched. Time spent with Daniele was time well spent, and my family and I were very happy to have spent 1.5 engaging hours with him. We wish it were more! I would encourage anyone who wants a kind, genuine, engaging and worldly Roman Friend to choose Daniele as your guide.The Roman Friend You Wish You Had

Our tour with Daniele was one of the best experiences in our 4.5 weeks in Europe. We did the tour with him on the first afternoon in Rome so was a perfect introduction. His explanations were clear and really interesting. He took the time to understand what we were interested in and incorporated this in his tour. We didn't go to the 'big'tourist spots in Rome - he took us to amazing street food (some of the places we revisited in the following days), we wound through neighbourhoods we may not have discovered on our own and had a really great three hours. Thank you - my husband and I really enjoyed it - and our three teenagers absolutely loved it. Excellent introduction to Rome

Simone was our guide for two separate tours in Rome. He’s witty, well mannered and very knowledgeable, providing a tailor-made, personalised fit to please his tour guests. He let us delve right into the respective times to imagine how people lived. Long story short, we really enjoyed two immersive and great tours with a very amicable and outstanding guy!Excellent local guide!

Enjoyed a fun, interesting and yummy food tour with Amandio with our family of four (children 10 & 12 loved it just as much as the adults!). He took us to local favorite places we would have never found on our own and wove in some amazing history lessons as well. He made sure we started on a day and time that would provide for the most open and enjoyable options. This tour was a highlight of our trip and I will recommend Amandio over and over again to anyone visiting Rome!!! Book now- Amandio is wonderful!

Paola was my partner and I’s first tour of Rome, and I strongly believe her tour was the perfect introduction to the city. As we got started, she asked what our Rome itinerary was to create a unique experience with minimal overlap and opportunities to explore niche locations that we never would have found. Paola was warm and friendly and shared many insights on the extensive history of Rome. An amazing way to experience Rome, I highly recommend. Incredibly insightful and fun tour

Paola is very knowledgable and passionate about her town and showed us highlights and hidden gems we would have never discovered otherwise. But being perfectly honest, 3 hrs. is never enough to fully discover such a magnuficent city - we only visited a very restricted part of it. 3 hrs. facts and figures and so much fun!
