(About local Vania)

25 July 2025

Vania was a great guide and took the time to 'show what you know' of her city, Roma. It would be difficult to squeeze in such an entire large city in the time allotted so it was an overview to experience more on your own itinerary/timetable. Vania was very detailed with sharing her knowledge of Roma and did exceptionally well at each site visited. We would recommend her to others to enhance their visit.Very enjoyable tour experience

Claudio gave us a brilliant experience of Rome over two days. The first day was a walking tour to so many amazing churches, fountains and places of interest. He is very knowledgeable but not over the top. He took time to know our interests and directed us accordingly. Day two he drove us up to the hills where we saw ruins even older than Roman. He also took us to a delightful vineyard and olive grove then off to a perfect lunch restaurant. Highly recommended. Great Tour with Claudio

28 June 2025

We had an amazing historical/architectural tour with Amandio yesterday. He is a great story teller, very animated and kept us and kids ( ages 13 and 11) interested the entire time. We opted to do it on e-bikes and did not regret a bit. It was +35 and having some air movement was great!!! We covered more area and saw way more than if we were to walk along the streets. Kids were very happy with little quizzes Amandio was giving them and were happy to learn more about Rome through this interactive approach. Amandio is an easy going guide and adapted effortlessly to our needs. We highly recommend him and will be happy to spend more time with him in the future in Rome.Amazing experience with Amandio!!

11 June 2025

Elisa really exceeded all of our expectations! We were in Rome for a quick day and a half on our Honeymoon tour, so we wanted a lay of the land and to see most things but how?! She was an ultimate life saver after a tour we booked cancelled, she took it upon herself to last minute show up for us to make sure we had a fantastic trip. We rented E Bikes and she was able to take us to every major stop you want to see in Rome, we even got gelato, took us the back roads to see how the locals do, pointed out coffee shops to head back to, and not to mention she made sure we got a great photo at each spot. She is also very knowledgeable about her home and gave us some good facts. Do not miss out on this friendly, kind, and funny woman! Book with her if you want a better way to see all of Rome! Elisa, you made our trip so fantastic and we will be talking about our memories with you for life—thank you!!Worth the price! Best overview of Rome!

(About local Romain)

25 May 2025

Auf unserer Rom Städtetour Anfang Mai 2025, haben wir Romain für eine 5 Stunden Full Coverage Rome City Tour gebucht. Zuerst einmal möchten wir uns noch einmal bei Romain für seine unglaubliche Flexibilität und seinen Kundenservice bedanken, da wir aufgrund von Anreiseproblemen erst mit 8 Stunden Verspätung in Rom eingetroffen sind und den vereinbarten Termin mit Romain nicht einhalten konnten. Internet sei Dank, klappte die direkte Kommunikation und Romain hat uns angeboten die Tour zu splitten, so das wir am Anreisetag 2 Stunden und am Folgetag 3 Stunden das Vergnügen hatten uns von Romain fachkundig, mit vielen Anekdoten und Hintergrundinformationen versehen, durch diese erstaunliche Stadt führen zu lassen. Oft liefen wir abseits der überlaufenen Touristenattraktionen, entdeckten versteckte Hinterhöfe, gingen kleine, schmale Gassen entlang, um plötzlich wieder auf einer belebten Piazza heraus zu kommen um dann in der nächsten Gasse weitere Jahrhundert alte Säulen und von außen völlig unscheinbare Gebäude, kaum als Kirche zu identifizieren, zu entdecken, die dem Besucher viele Malereien und andere Schätze bereit hält. Wir können nur jedem, der eine Städtetour abseits der normalen Wege sucht ( Closseum, Vatikan etc. sind groß genug, die findet man auch allein ;) ) eine ausgedehnte Tour mit Romain absolut empfehlen und würden diese auch jederzeit wieder buchen, da es noch viel mehr zu sehen gibt. 11 von 10 Sternen.Full Coverage mit Romain. Jederzeit wieder

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!

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!

Alessandra was absolutely amazing. We got to the meeting place early and she was there ready to start. I have 4 kids ranging from 7-16 and they were all so engaged in everything she said. She always made sure my youngest came to the front so he could see and hear. Alessandra was so informative, we learnt so much from our hour with her and she happily answered any questions that we had. We were all so glad we had an expert showing us around, it made the experience so much more worth it. I would highly recommend booking a tour with Alessandra with anyone looking to learn about the history of the Colosseum.

As someone who works in audit, I’ll be the first to admit: I’m an expert at spotting mistakes and always seem to notice the empty half of the cup. I rarely write glowing reviews because I’m trained to look for what’s missing. But with Amadeo’s, I have to be fair and square, this experience was flawless. No words can truly express the wonderful, craved, and utterly memorable morning we had. Amadeo guided us through Rome’s hidden gems as the city woke up, sharing stories and secrets that made every moment special. He was incredibly smart and patient with my 8-year-old drama queen, turning her energy into pure engagement and joy. The teens were kept on their toes the entire time, thanks to his thoughtful questions and clever insights. Out of the 9 tours we booked across 5 cities in Italy, this was by far the best. Amadeo didn’t just show us Rome but he brought it to life for every member of our family. For once, I have nothing to critique. Thank you!Your Guide to a hidden gem

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!

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!
