Francesca taught our group of 3 the pantheon, piazza navona, altare Della patria, Trajan column, and st Ignatious church. She was super flexible adapting to our eldest member pace and explaining everything from scratch so we can really understand concepts. she gave us practical tips and a good advice as to where to eat. We had fun and learned a lot!Knowledgable and fun!

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

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

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

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

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

3 January 2025

Alessandra is amazing and really outstanding in every way possible - she is very knowledgeable, extremely receptive to her audience and understanding of their needs (history and culture in our case) and excellent company (lovely personality and really easygoing and smart). We really enjoyed our time with Alessandra - we learned so much and her storytelling style really helped to bring home historical facts in the best way possible for us to remember them. We love “With Locals” to see places but Alessandra takes With Locals tours to another level altogether. A rating of 10 as an overall satisfaction score is unable to capture her skills and her talent - she exceeds it in every way. Our entire family recommends her without hesitation - you cannot do better than Alessandra on a tour of Rome! Alessandra is outstanding!

We wanted to see the city from a local's perspective and we got right what we wanted. Francesca is very knowledgeable about art and history and took us trough a very interesting walking tour, taking the time to explain in detail the history and stories about the places we visited. I travelled with my kids 12, 15, 25 and my wife, they all were mesmerized by her explanations and detail of information. I would definitely come back again and contact Francesca for another tour in the summer. Off the beaten path

Daniele engaged the adults and 11 year old in the group equally. Daniele sent me a proposal for our tour that focused on Hidden Gems. Everyone learned something new! The best part was that it didn’t feel like a tour, it felt like we were walking with a good friend who knew the area. Can’t wait until we can return and book Daniele again!Perfect Tour Guide for Entire Family

Simone gave us a very nice tour and was very attentive to all of our individual requests and questions. It was a unique experience to take a tour of Rome with our dog Ella. All of Simone's acquaintances were very friendly and gave us a warm welcome in Rome. The tour ended at a wonderful restaurant that Simone recommended and introduced us to, and who therefore treated us exceptionally kindly.Very individual and heartfelt

We asked Simone if he would take us on a cycling tour of Rome and he was happy to oblige. He changed the meeting point to a local cycle hire shop, and then took us on a 3 hour tour of all the main sights of Rome, filled with fascinating insights and stories, as well as taking us to a few great hidden gems. I’d thoroughly recommend Simone as a guide….we really enjoyed the experience.Cycling in Rome with Simone

(About local Claudio)

7 November 2024

Claudio introduced me to a wonderful mix of art and culture in Rome! I had an amazing experience in Rome with a local private guide named Claudio. If you're looking to explore the city beyond the usual tourist spots, I highly recommend him! Claudio took me to a fascinating Spanish art school where I learned about the rich history of art in the region. We also explored vintage shops filled with unique finds and artistic treasures. The art galleries he showed me were exceptional, showcasing both classic and contemporary works that truly captured the spirit of Rome. We enjoyed some great coffee at charming cafes and discovered vibrant bars that are perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. One of the highlights was attending an art exhibition that featured local artists—Claudio's insights made it even more enjoyable! Additionally, we navigated through the fashion scene, where Claudio pointed out some hidden gems and boutiques that reflect the city’s stylish vibe. If you're looking to see a different side of Rome and immerse yourself in its art and culture, Claudio is the guy to go with. His passion and knowledge make the experience unforgettable! I felt very safe with him and it was such a Luxus to have a translator with you . Local guides are the way to go

22 October 2024

Simone is personable and provided some local cultural insight. He adapted his tour based in our interest and knowledge. There were 2 minor issues with our tour. We stopped at a modern art museum although neither of us has an interest. It appeared Simone wanted to visit a friend and get us to buy him a coffee. The second is that we were about 20 Meters from the meeting point and Simone couldn't find us. We were the only 2 people standing near the meeting point and obviously waiting for someone. We eventually connected and Simone gave us the full tour. He handled the delay well and we enjoyed the complete 3 hour tour. Historical Rome

Simone was a fantastic guide. He showed me so many hidden gems that gave me a chance to further explore later in the day and during my remaining days in Rome. He is very knowledgeable about the history of Rome and is very personable. His kickstarter tour was a perfect start to my vacation! There is so much to see in Rome that a walking tour, especially with Simone is the best way to get acquainted with the city. We happen upon a ceremony that was dedicated to the tomb of the unknown soldier and we stayed to watch the ceremony. It was very moving. Simone knows all the back way and how to avoid the crowds. He also gave me a huge list of local spots to eat after the tour . I highly recommend him! Thanks Simone!A perfect way to start my trip!

We had an excellent off the beaten path tour with Simone. I loved his approach to walking through open doors to see treasures hidden inside whether it be churches, gardens or other hidden places. It felt like a true exploration. We also got to taste authentic cannoli and pizza and see excellent panoramic views of Rome. Simone was very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this tour if you are visiting Rome. Walk through open doors to find treasures

We had two tours with Simone, the City Tour and the Food Tour. Both were great. Simone is very friendly, very flexible, and very knowledgeable. He took time to explain the history of each place and is a good engaging story teller. He moved our food tour to Campo de Fiori because the Vatican market was closed on Sunday, and introduced us to different foods based on what we liked. He even sent us a list of recommended places to visit and restaurants to try. Great experience with Simone; highly recommended Knowledgesble, friendly sbd flexible

We haven’t stopped talking about our tour with Leonardo. Somehow he managed to address my husband’s interest in the Roman Republic, my interest in renaissance art and the kids interest in gelato! He was intelligent and informative without bombarding us with too much information. He was able to adapt on the spot to our level of previous knowledge and expand on it from there. I highly recommend this kind, courteous and generous guide. Leonardo catered to all our interests

Nico was superb, he embraced my teenage children’s excitement and awe with Rome coming from a very different South Africa. Nico is well travelled, interesting and a dedicated Rome local. He had such interesting stories and experiences to share which made our first day an easy transition into the Roman vibe. Nico has a deep knowledge of intriguing insights into Rome’s history and works amazing well with the group dynamic to pay each member personalised attention - maximising the experience.

We booked Niko on the first day of our 2 weeks in Rome for an "introduction to the area" private tour. It was our first time in Europe, so I was a little stressed. Niko fixed that. By the end of our 3rd hour, I felt like I was finally on vacation! We enjoyed Niko so much, we booked a private food tour as well! (I highly recommend that)! We will be using Niko in the future and will happily recommend him to friends and family! Thanks again for the memories Niko!!Nico was the best!

Alessandra was an excellent Tour Guide. She definitely took us to some less touristy places, but also hit the major sites of Roma. She was very knowledgeable, personable, and friendly. You could tell she really loves her city. This is our first experience with Withlocals and since our tour with Alessandra we have booked three more in other cities via WithLocals. She also gave us recommendations for multiple places to eat around Napoli, depending on where our adventures took us. This was above and beyond and again it’s another city that she clearly, clearly loves which was evident when her face began to light up as she began to speak about places in Napoli. We highly recommend her!We LOVED Alessandra!!!

Thomas was a very good and knowledgeable guide, we only had a day in Rome on a layover and hiring Thomas was the best decision we made. I was traveling with my 15 year old son and Thomas was very accommodating to our timeline, he knew what we could do in a short time during peak tourist season to get the most out of our experience and he showed us the best spots possible. And was a wealth of information. He made the history come alive for us, He took us to cafes owned by the same family for many generations and I had the best cappuccino of my life! He also went above and beyond to make sure we were on time to the right train back to the airport. Without him we surely would have missed our train. Thank you Thomas, we would love to come back and spend more time in this incredible City and definitely do another tour with you!Wonderfully knowledgeable

Simone did our kick-off tour of Rome. Unfortunately, I planned poorly and scheduled for 3.5 hours after 20 hours of travel, so a wee bit tired. Not Simone's fault at all, and if only we had the energy he did. He was awesome.....all week long, when we re-visited, oh look, Simone brought us here! He covered so much in so little time, absolutely all the highlights, and gave us a great start to get our bearings of this beautiful city of Rome. He was like walking with a friend, showing us the beautiful sights and explaining the history, and even stopping at a little street pizza spot that was awesome. He was a straight up book of knowledge. After our tour, Simone sent a message via WhatsApp with a list of suggested restaurants. We tried 3, and he scored on all of them....best restaurant suggestions while in Rome, with Sora Margherita being our favorite! Simone, no words could express our thanks enough. Thank You Thank You Thank You! Simone, a friend indeed! Book of knowledge
