Here’s everything you need to know before your day unfolds.
Ah, Rome! A stunningly beautiful city where love comes alive. Every time I go there, it's like a whole new adventure. There's so many things to do and see. Get ready to dive headfirst into the heart of Rome, guided by a local host who knows the city like the back of their hand. This experience is your all-access pass to my favorite iconic landmarks and hidden gems found all over Rome.
First stop: the legendary Trevi Fountain. Picture this – you're standing in front of one of the world's most famous fountains, its waters sparkling under the Roman sun. Oceanus, the god of the rivers, commands the scene from his shell chariot, flanked by horses and tritons. It's pure magic, and you'll have plenty of time to snap selfies and capture the perfect video. And here's a fun fact: toss a coin over your left shoulder, and legend has it you're destined to return to Rome. Hungry? Grab a gelato from Gelato Italiano nearby and savor its creamy goodness as you stroll through the picturesque streets, soaking up the Italian vibes.
Next, wander over to the Chiesa di Sant'Ignazio di Loyola. This church is an absolute stunner, with jaw-dropping frescoes that seem to stretch the ceiling to the heavens. The artwork here plays tricks on your eyes, creating the illusion of a massive dome. Your host will share the secrets behind this visual masterpiece and might even treat you to the ethereal sounds of the choir if you're lucky.
From there, head to the Pantheon, an ancient temple that's as impressive today as it was 2000 years ago. As you approach, the sheer size of this architectural wonder will leave you in awe. Step inside and look up – the dome is a marvel, with a central oculus that lets in beams of light, illuminating the marble-clad interior. It's no wonder this place has inspired architects for centuries. Your host will fill you in on all the fascinating details, from its pagan origins to its role as a Christian church.
By now, you'll be ready for a culinary adventure. Just a short walk away is Alfredo alla Scrofa, the birthplace of Alfredo pasta. Yes, the legendary dish was invented right here! Sit down, relax, and indulge in a plate of creamy, buttery pasta perfection. Pair it with a glass of fine Italian wine, and you're in for a treat. Your host will make sure you have the best seat in the house, turning this meal into a highlight of your Roman journey.
Whether you're a history buff, an art lover, or just here for the food, this Roman escapade promises unforgettable moments and a deeper connection to the Eternal City. So, gear up for a day of tossing coins, savoring gelato, and soaking in the magic of Rome. And remember to take photos!

Alessandra was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed the stories behind the architecture.
Show moreA custom experience that we have never had before. We filled the questionnaire almost in reverse, stating the places we had already seen and did not wish to see again. Nadia communicated often to be sure she could make a good plan for us. We saw things we didn't even know existed, enjoyed the inside of a basilica, and spent time in the Jewish Ghetto. One of our fellow travelers who tried to find a site on there own, without a guide never found it even though it was not far from our hotel. A guide is a worthwhile expense
Show moreBea was easy to understand and provided great information and a terrific experience. We loved the walk through the local market at the end of our tour. Bea also provided a lot of additional information of other things we could see and do during our time in Rome, this was provided after our tour finished and was way above and beyond what we expected.
Show moreThere is so much to see that internet searches can't reveal. We very much enjoyed our walking tour of Rome with a local guide. We filled out a questionnaire before-hand, which helped shape the tour to best fit our interests, capabilities & limitations (being an "aging couple"). Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly & helpful. She showed us things we never could have found on our own. I even "upgraded" my straw hat to a real one from a company making them since the mid 1800's! From pictures to purchases to palate, it was well worth the extra cost for a private tour. Group tours are adequate, but this was specifically tailored to our interests & capabilities.
Show moreAlex was amazing. He showed so many wonderful things and was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the art and history of Rome. The best money spent on our trip was this tour.
Show moreBea was friendly and wecoming. As a female solo traveller, i felt very safe. In advance of my visit to Rome, i sent Bea a list of places i would like to see and the itinerary was set up around this.
