An absolutely fabulous few hours being shown around Rome with Alessandra. It really felt we were spending the morning with a friend, and her knowledge and enthusiasm for her city was infectious. We would most definitely recommend CityUnscripted and will book again!

I very much enjoyed my personalized tour of neighbourhoods of Rome with my guide, Alessandra. She was personable and very knowledgeable about her home city and I got to discover many hidden gems as I learned, not only about the incredible history of Rome, but also about how locals live and enjoy their city today. I would highly recommend this experience.

We had an incredible half-day private tour of Rome with Alessandra through City Unscripted. Our hotel was in the Jewish Ghetto, and Alessandra met us there, letting us explore that historic neighborhood before heading to Trastevere for a typical Roman street food lunch — a real treat for foodies! From there, we visited Campo de’ Fiori, Piazza Navona, Saint Ignazio Church (be sure to bring something to cover your knees and shoulders), the Pantheon (outside), Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, and more. Alessandra’s knowledge and insights brought each location to life, and she was incredibly flexible — even suggesting a delightful uphill walk after lunch to take in panoramic views of the city. It was another highlight of the day and absolutely worth the effort, even in the summer heat. She went above and beyond by giving us dinner recommendations for that evening and breakfast spots for our last morning, which made our trip even more memorable. Spending the day with Alessandra felt like exploring Rome with a close family friend, joyfully sharing her love and deep knowledge of this beautiful city. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a local, insightful, and fun experience in the Eternal City!

We have been to Rome before but wanted to learn a bit more behind the major sites. Alessandra was very informative and took time to tell us about the rich stories dating back to Roman times and modern events that shaped the city. She was an experienced guide with knowledge and character and expertly took us around the city to impart her knowledge in a fun and personable way. We are grateful for her expertise.

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
