Rome

I have enjoyed travelling since I was a child. I used to travel in Europe, Africa, and Usa. It was a very formative experience there for my knowledge. I often travel in Italy trying to know the hidden places of the cities. The same goes for Rome. Rome is not just Colosseum or Trevi fountain or Spanish steps. There are many monuments and places to discover. We could say that Rome is a giant monument itself! I'd love to help you discover the hidden places of Rome, and also the best panoramic terraces to enjoy the best view only locals know. I am also a foodie expert

Luca was amazing! He showed me really cool ancient Roman sites that other tours don't visit! He also took me to a very beautiful island with an old church and taught me some local WW2 history. We discussed how these histories play into modern Italy. I had a fantastic time and we even stopped for a 5 minute coffee break! Luca gave me some great advice on local restaurants and invited me to live music! Overall very friendly and conversational. I wasn't feeling well so we walked slow and made frequent stops. It felt like I was walking around Rome with a friend.

This private evening tour of Rome was well worth it. Everything was easy from the start, and the whole experience felt smooth and stress-free. Walking through Rome at night was the highlight. The Christmas lights and nearby market gave the city a special feel, and stopping for dinner, pastries, and hot chocolate made the evening even better. It never felt rushed and was a great way to take in the city. Luca, our guide, was excellent. He knew the history inside and out and explained things in a way that was interesting and easy to follow. You could tell he really enjoys sharing Rome and its history. Rome has been on my bucket list for a long time. We went in not knowing exactly what to expect and came away very happy with the experience. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxed, personal way to experience the city.

That’s completely fine! Select an experience theme or a flexible discovery experience, and after booking, answer a few questions so your host can design the perfect experience for you.

Will I be able to speak to my host beforehand?

Yes. After we match you with your host, we’ll introduce you so you can chat about the plan and make any tweaks before the day.

How do you match me with a host?

We ask a few questions. After you book, you’ll fill out a short questionnaire about your interests and travel style. We’ll then match you with the best local host to design your experience.

Can I request specific places or types of stops?

Yes! After booking, you will receive a questionnaire where you can highlight must-visit spots and anything else you’d like to include, and your host will craft your experience around them.

Will I know my itinerary in advance?

Yes, you will have the opportunity to chat with your host directly and agree on a plan for the day. However, there’s always room for spontaneity and local surprises!

Can I mix different themes in one experience?

Yes! You can blend food, culture, history, neighborhoods, or even a bit of nightlife if time allows. Just share your interests in the questionnaire, and your host will build the day around them.

Can my host meet me at my accommodation?

Hotel meet-ups are available upon request in central areas. If you're staying outside the city, your host will recommend the best meeting spot and guide you with directions.
