Wow, What a tour we had with Simone! When we look back on the tour, there was so much packed into the 5 hours and we saw and learned so much. This was the first tour we did in the day of our arrival and set us up for the rest of our stay in Rome. Simone was an excellent guide and very easy to get in with. Our group of four enjoyed the experience immensely! Great Experience

Simone was amazing. He was warm and friendly and showed my husband and I a true feel of Rome and history of its food. The food spots he picked for us were top tier. Amazing local family run places with the best food to offer. I would highly recommend. A fantastic experience

We loved our tour with Simone. He was able to keep my kids (aged 8, 10 and 12) engaged and interested and adapt his tour to our family's interests. He gave us a great lunch recommendation too. It was one of the best tours we did all summer. Highl recommended. Great personalized tour of Rome

What a great way to explore the city and learn more about it in an engaging way. Simone tried to make the history relatable to the kids and shared some great stories. Our family really enjoyed it and would recommend! Great first day in Rome

We’d seen the sights before, but Simone brought them to life in a completely new way. His storytelling added colour, context, and depth to every stop and his kind, relaxed approach made the whole experience a joy. We also really appreciated his brilliant local tips and restaurant recommendations for the rest of our time in Rome. Highly recommend!Stories Behind the Stones

In the three hours we were with Simone, We learned more about Rome than in the four days we spent here several years ago. He was able to teach history to my 21 year-old gamer through parallels from the game Assassin‘s Creed which one of the series was based in Rome. He kept my daughter captivated with the history, my husband with the ghost stories and me- I totally geeked out the whole time. I can’t tell you how refreshing it was to get a tour with someone like him. It was our first time using the Withlocals app. We had been canceled a couple times Withlocals with other tour guides- which we were really worried was going to happen again. But he showed up not only in person, but truly in The spirit of a true historical guide. I am so lucky that my children’s first experience in Rome was with someone like him. I would definitely book him for other tours. The other reviews are 100% true. Worth every dollar and more.Best tour in years— kept EVERYONE engaged!

Simone was an excellent tour guide. He was very personable and knowledgable about the history of the area. It was so fun hearing about the history of Trastevere and about different Roman poets. Along the stops, he’d read a poem in the original language and then translate it, going into the deeper meaning behind the poems. My favorite thing about the tour was getting to connect with a fellow poet. At the end, we both shared poems we each had written, and he even wrote about our tour and about each of our personalities. I’m so glad I found this gem of a tour. It was fun to explore Rome through the lens of poetry. If you’re interested in something a little more unique and love poetry then this tour is for you!Excellent Tour

Simon provided us with an absolutely outstanding walking tour of Rome that exceeded all our expectations. His deep knowledge of Roman history brought every monument and landmark to life with fascinating details and lesser-known facts that you simply won't find in guidebooks. He easily navigated us to all the attractions we requested while sharing interesting stories and historical context at each stop. Simon treated us to authentic pizza and gelato from neighborhood spots that we never would have discovered on our own. These touches made the experience feel special and gave us a true taste of local Roman life. Simon's knowledge, and genuine care for providing an exceptional experience made our day in Rome unforgettable. If you're looking for a guide who will show you the real Rome while ensuring you see everything you want to see, Simon is your person. We couldn't have asked for a better introduction to the Eternal City! Exceptional
