What you’ll do

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!

Luca Modesti is a superb guide. Not only incredibly knowledgeable but so personable as well. Luca was our guide for 3 hours in Rome. He asked us what we were interested in and proceeded to fulfill all our requests and then some! He even gave us a list of places to visit and favorite restaurants for the next couple of days while in Rome. I can’t say enough about our time with Luca. It was a highlight of our visit to Rome.

Claudio is an amazing historian. He took the time to point out specific sites of historical importance and architecture. Claudio took us down beautiful floral lined streets and alley ways that we would otherwise of not seen. I would recommend him to anyone for a private tour of Rome.
