  • Which places can you visit on your walking tours in Rome?

    There are lots of fascinating places and natural sights you can see by walking in Rome. All you must do is tell your host where you want to go and they’ll make sure to take you there. If you’ve never been to Rome before, we suggest you to follow this path for your first Rome walking tour: start from Piazza della Repubblica. This is one of the most famous squares in Rome and it’s easy to reach. From there follow via XX Settembre until you reach Piazza del Quirinale. This square is on the tallest Roman hill. From here the view is magnificent. You can see the old city in all his glory as well as see some amazing monuments and parks.

    From here you can go down, following a beautiful flight of steps and reach Via della Dataria. Nearby you’ll find the famous Trevi Fountain, most likely surrounded by tourists. Walk in via del Tritone and enter via Sistina. This way you’ll be able to reach Piazza di Spagna with its famous stairs and church on top. Follow via del Corso to reach a smaller square called Piazza Sal Lorenzo in Lucina. This place is quieter and it’s full of bars here you can get a traditional snack.

    After enjoying a quick pause, follow the big marble dome to reach the Pantheon. Not far from it you will reach Piazza Navona. Its considered the most beautifulk square in Rome. From here follow via del Governo Vecchio and enjoy the small boutiques and traditional shops. Follow along until you reach Castel Sant’Angelo, a majestic castle near Saint Peter.

    This is a great way to enjoy many of the famous and not-so-famous beauties that Rome can offer. Do you prefer something surrounded by nature? Try with the Terme of Caracalla, elegant buildings with hot springs. Or maybe check out Castel Gandolfo Lake and, less famous but more beautiful, the Villa del Priorato di Malta.

Fun Rain or Shine

Valentina was so great giving us a tour of the Vatican museum. She’s very knowledgeable on art history and really enhanced our whole experience. Before entering the museum, we were struck with a downpour that soaked everyone, but she was a real trooper. Thank you for the great experience.!

Terrific and informative tour with Pietro

I really great experience. We did a Colosseum and forum tour with Pietro. He was very interesting and passionate about the history of Rome. Very good communication in organizing our meeting place and purchasing tickets for the Colosseum. Pietro was fantastic at explaining the history of the Colosseum and forum, and also stories about what they were used for. highly recommended.

One of the best tours we’ve ever been on!

We had the pleasure of touring the Colosseum in Rome with Monica as our guide, and she was truly exceptional. From the moment we met her, Monica was warm, thoughtful, and incredibly knowledgeable. She brought ancient history to life with fascinating facts and stories that made the experience so much more meaningful. Her passion for Rome and its rich heritage was evident in every detail she shared, and she made sure everyone in our group felt included and engaged. Beyond being a fantastic guide, Monica is simply a wonderful person to be around—kind, patient, and full of positive energy. We wholeheartedly recommend Monica to anyone visiting Rome. She made our visit to the Colosseum unforgettable, and we're so grateful for the experience!
