Wow, What a tour we had with Simone! When we look back on the tour, there was so much packed into the 5 hours and we saw and learned so much. This was the first tour we did in the day of our arrival and set us up for the rest of our stay in Rome. Simone was an excellent guide and very easy to get in with. Our group of four enjoyed the experience immensely! Great Experience

Vania is a thoughtful guide full of historic art and architectural information. She was flexible and able to adjust based on the needs of my daughter who was not up for the entire tour. Thoughtful and knowledgeable

(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!!

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

We had an incredible tour in Rome with Francesca as our guide. The day began at the Vatican Museums with a tour of the Vatican Gardens, which gave us a wonderful overview of Vatican history before we moved on to the Sistine Chapel and St. Peter’s Basilica. Throughout the day, Francesca shared fascinating details and pointed out many unusual and interesting aspects we would have otherwise missed. Her insight and deep historical knowledge made the experience unforgettable. From there, we continued on to the Colosseum and finished at the Roman Forum. The entire day was filled with captivating facts and stories that brought the history of Rome to life. Francesca’s expertise, enthusiasm, and ability to make every stop engaging truly set this tour apart. She is highly recommended!Franseaca brings Rome to life!

Sara gave us one of the best tours I have had in my life, she was a wealth of information about everything we saw, and went out of her way to explain things she knew interested us. She knows so much about history and the art that we saw. I asked her a few questions about the area before we came, and she really helped me feel welcome in the city, and relieved some stress and worries I had. I could not recommend her enough.Far beyond any expectations

Francesca was a great guide—very knowledgeable, flexible, and congenial. We have been to Rome a number of times but wanted to figure out where we were in relationship to our hotel. As we visited many city center cites she would tell us how to get back to our hotel. I must say this was very valuable information. Getting oriented in Rome

Exploring Rome with Emanuele felt effortless and engaging—every story was packed with history and insight, but shared in such a personable and down-to-earth way that the hours disappeared. Their kindness and warmth made us feel instantly at ease, and the balance of knowledge, humor, and local tips made the city come alive in a way we’ll remember.Found a Roman Friend

Anthony🇺🇸 United States

(About local Emanuele)

26 August 2025

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!Gelato + Kindness = Better Than a Tour!

(About local Yanira)

1 August 2025

Yanira had been referred to us by a friend who had taken a tour with her so we knew the tour would be great. The tour was so good she took time before we got into spaces where talking was not allowed to give the history, insight, and humorous back stories. You can spend days in the Vatican but our schedule (and a 15 yo) only allowed a couple hours and it was the perfect. Yanira was able to show us spaces and cut through busy areas to allow us to maximize our time and also gave us tips for things to do after our tour in the Vatican and in Rome. So grateful we were able to spend some time with Yanira and hope to do another tour with her soon.VIP vatican tour

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!

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.

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

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.
