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, which will also be available for tasting.

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

Thank you Simone for the wonderful walking tour in Rome! You’ve made it both very interesting and informative for our children 6 and 9 years old and us, adults. It was like a fascinating walk with a friend through his home city with funny stories and secret places with delicious food. Perfect day in Rome👍

We had a great morning exploring Roma with Simone today. He is great company and a thoroughly knowledgeable guide to the city, particularly good with children. The many hidden open doors of Rome were revealed to us upon this tour. Thank you Simone for sharing your city with us. Great morning in rome

We were so happy with Simone. He was so knowledgeable and passionate about all things Rome. My 16 year old daughter and I did this tour on the day of our arrival and it was a perfect start. We learnt a lot very quickly and discovered hidden places that we wouldn’t have known about otherwise. Simone gave us many ideas and tips for restaurants and meals too. His recommendation for an authentic Roman meal in Trastevere was the absolute best! Great experience with Simone

Simone was super flexible and had good communication. He was very knowledgeable about the city and took us to places that we never would have been to on our own. He was great with the kids and very patient with all of us. When we return to Rome we would book with him again!

Simone is a natural storyteller who enthralled us with stories of Rome. Showing us a way to explore the eternal city more deeply he gave us confidence while showing us beautiful, non crowded locations. Would definitely recommend! Thank you Simone!!Amazing!

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
