Hi there! Nice to meet you

Simone

Ciao! I am Simone.

I was born and raised in Rome and I love my city! I want to share all the great things that my hometown has to offer and leave you with insider information you will only get from a true local and lover of Rome. The tour I am offering is for people who have limited time but want to gain a genuine feel for Rome, without missing the top attraction.

Variety (never routine!) is a key part of keeping things interesting and fun. So with me, you will find my tour is fresh and flexible. As a guide, I love to learn what interests you so my tour can engage and leave you with a real feel for my city.

I'm an urban cyclist with a big passion for football, I​ love meeting people from all over the world and making them comfortable in Rome. I also love cooking , farm and great wine. I love animals (especially my dog) and being outdoors. I'm a football(soccer) lover and in the evenings I coach a local youth team of which I am very proud.

As a side job in the low season, I tend to numerous olive trees in the countryside hills where I grew up, located north of Rome. During the harvest season in November and December, these trees yield an abundance of high-quality olive oil.

Let me show you my beautiful city and share my passion for art, architecture, history and the local stories of my city.

Our family took a 90 minute walking tour with Simone. He was very pleasant and knowledgeable and brought us around places in Rome that we otherwise would not have seen. We'd definitely book with him again and would recommend if you're thinking about using him for a tour in Rome. Great Walking Tour with Simone

We did a 3 hr walking tour at the end of the day along some obvious highlights of the city but on the way Simone also showed us some hidden gems. Churches, residences, local restaurants etc. No rush, good stories and historical information made it a great and interesting tour. My 17 year old son was very pleased as well. Thank you so much!Wander like a Roman

We spent a few hours walking the streets in the historic center of Rome with Simone. He was very knowledgeable about the history of Rome and a very engaging conversationalist. He quickly adapted to what we were interested in hearing about and seeing and tailored the tour accordingly. Also, he introduced us to Roman pizza which was amazing as well as stopping off at a place with 152 flavors of gelato. I highly recommend Simone as a guide who will tell you and show you things about Rome and it's history that you likely didn't know about!Hidden Gems of Rome

Interesting 3hrs with Simone, didn’t go too heavy on history but enough to be informative. Pace was about right and we did the major, and not so major, sights. Very pleased overall. Would recommend. Lively and informative

Being on a business trip in Rome and with some spare time in the evening I decided to go to downtown Rome to see something of the cultural treasured of Rome. Alone in an unknown city it's maybe boring and you run around aimlessly. Having a lot of positive experience with the Withlocals service in many other places of the world I decided to book a guide. Everything went very well. Simone showed me some hidden places, the Pantheon and we had a nice talk. Almost at the end of the tour we walked up a little hill where I had a wonderful overview over the Forum Romanum and on the other side I could see the St.Peters cathedral. In this momentan I heart the bells of the cathedral ringing and I knew it must be the announcement of the new Pope. Simone realized that this is important for me and offered me to bring me to the St.Peters Place. It was quite a long walk along the Tiber river but we made it in time and I became part of the historical event when the new Pope entered the balcony. Although the booked time was long over he stayed with me and finally brought me to a place where I could order a taxi to go back to the hotel. Simone is definitely a nice person and a great guide with an excellence sense for his customers. I can fully recommend him. He is fully engaged and it's nice to talk to him. Simone thanks for this unforgettable tour.Habemus Papam!

We had Simone for the 90 mins tour and he was fantastic. He arrived on time and was easy to find, especially with the extra details he provided through the app. We chose to focus on the Trastevere and Jewish Ghetto areas and Simone even managed to show us a few other great sites and landmarks. Simone was incredibly friendly and kept great conversation with us the whole time. I would definitely recommend booking with him! Thank you Simone. Great intro to Rome experience

Simone was an excellent guide for myself and my toddler. Very patient with her, happy to help with the pram when she decided she wanted to be carried everywhere, and really brought the city to life. Thank you!Fascinating and family friendly

This was the absolute best tour. You must book with Simone if you want to have a unique and fun experience. Simone was warm and engaging. He took us to many important sites in the city but also mixed in fun stops to sample cheeses, meats, wine and Roman pizza. We ended the tour on top of this beautiful spot with views of the city, including St Peters. There was a lovely restaurant with stunning views. A perfect way to end our trip. We wished we had booked Simone for another day. I highly recommend Simone. A day to remember

Simone was a wonderful guide, tailoring the day to exactly what we wanted to see, giving us detailed information about every landmark and all the history in this city. He was knowledgeable, funny, flexible, and a great family photographer. I would recommend him to anyone - keeping teenagers engaged isn’t easy, and he brought us to some special places no guidebooks mention. Amazing afternoon with Simone!
