An Ancient City

Discover Rome in a day like a true local! From starting with breakfast at the Trevi Fountain and finishing with a night out in Trastevere, there are so many interesting things to do in Rome in 24 hours! Below you can discover some top ideas for what to do in Rome in a day to explore new things. Morning: Breakfast and city sightseeing Start your day early with a cheesy breakfast at the Trevi Fountain, then set off on foot to explore the ancient city of Rome. With so much to see in Rome, you may like to visit the quieter churches and stroll through the market at Campo de’ Fiori, or head straight for the bigger attractions like the Spanish Steps, Circus Maximus and the Colosseum. Discover the fascinating stories of ancient Rome and the civilization that was well ahead of its time in history. Afternoon: Lunch and the Vatican City After enjoying a traditional Italian lunch with antipasti in a quiet piazza, it’s time to make your way to the Vatican to explore Rome’s tiny independent state. Visit the Vatican Museums or St. Peter’s Basilica and admire Michelangelo’s amazing ceiling in the Sistine Chapel! You may even have the opportunity to see the Pope as you venture into the heart of Catholicism. Evening: Dinner and drinks Sightseeing in Rome is continuous, and the evening atmosphere is magical beneath the glistening city lights. Visit the Pantheon at dusk, have dinner beside the beautiful fountains at Piazza Navona or stroll through the buzzing streets. Have a glass of Chianti with the perfect pasta dinner, then head to the lively Trastevere area for a few drinks with the locals in a trendy hangout.

Max is the best!

We enjoyed an informative and lively tour of Rome with many sites and stories we would have otherwise missed , had Max not been our guide. Moreover, his humor and laid back approach made questions and dialogue easy and fun!

Great walking tour !

My family and I did our first walking tour of Rome with Max. Max wss super communicative from the start, chill and very easy to talk to . He’s funny, kind and very accommodating . We had 2 kids who weren’t always the best behaved through the 3 hour tour ( some tantrums and fights along the way) but he was super patient and went with the flow. He took us to this amazing gelato place too :) Max had lots of stories to tell which made all the history so fascinating - his depth of knowledge and all those details that he knows are clearly impressive . We had an amazing tour - and would highly recommend him to anyone !

Humour and information combined

Bado met us on time and was prepared for an informative tour. He knew how to get us into the colosseum quickly and he knew when to share information with us. He didn't overwhelm us with facts and he answered our questions clearly. Bado has lots of knowledge and a skill for sharing it. We had a great time.

Bado is the best

I booked Bado sort of last minute (2 days beforehand) and I’m so glad I did! He is such an interesting man, speaks 5 languages, is extremely knowledgeable and informative. We had a wonderful tour of the Coliseum that was just the 3 of us which felt so much more personalized and so reasonably priced in comparison. I highly recommend him as a guide. Good luck on your Masters Thesis Bado!
