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.

We spent an afternoon with Simone biking the best of Rome. Not only did he navigate the streets and crowds with ease, sharing much about the history of the places and sites we saw, he shared nuanced insights that added color and character to the tour. We covered a lot of ground, and were able to identify the areas we wanted to spend more time on our remaining day. Highly recommend whether you are spending weeks or days in Rome!Great bike tour with Simone

Simone was super nice to us. He adjusted his schedule last minute to a flight delay we had. He was super friendly and adjusted his speech and tour itinerary to our crew (family with two teenagers). Great guy

Simone was a hoot! It was a very casual and fun tour, with Simone very easy to speak with and making for a very fun tour. He personalised our tour on the fly and provided some great tips on where we could explore once our tour had finished. Our daughter slept in the pram for majority of the tour, but that didn't hold us back from touring the city. There was plenty of history, culture and insight into the Roman way of life, told through his eyes. We covered lots of ground (which we were very much open to). We stopped at a small local coffee shop much to my husband's delight and a pizza place - the best I'd sampled in Italy. Many thanks Simone. Laid back tour covering lots of ground

Simone is an outstanding tour guide! My family of four, including our two boys aged 11 and 12, did a walking tour of Rome last week with Simone. We chose him because we thought he would be great connecting with our kids, and he delivered. Simone knows the city so well, knows interesting off-the-beaten-track spots that we would never have found on our own, and has lots of interesting stories to share about Rome and Italy, from a historical, architectural, and modern standpoint. He just as easily related to our kids as to us, making the history of Rome come alive for all of us! He also took us to some beautiful churches, and hidden ancient Roman theater, and a fantastic Gelato shop, and made some great recommendations for food.and drinks afterward. I would highly recommend Simone to anyone who wants a fun, fascinating tour from someone who really knows Rome inside and out. Thanks, Simone!!Wonderful Tour of Rome with Simone

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
