Full day in Rome with a local

What you'll do

There’s a lot to see in Rome - that’s what being the center of an empire for a few centuries does to you! With one of our local Rome hosts by your side, however, this intoxicating city will take on an authentic air as you get to experience it through the eyes of a local.

Of course, you’ll want to take in iconic attractions like the Colosseum, the Pantheon, and the Vatican City, but what about bohemian neighborhoods like Trastevere and or the ever-alternative Pigneto?

With a full day at your disposal, the adventures you can have in Rome are endless. Follow your feet to new and exciting stores, markets, boutiques, galleries, and museums that are to be found around every corner.

Stop off and fill up on food at a local osteria, sip on espressos for that caffeine kick and challenge yourself to try as many gelato flavors as you possibly can!

Snack on supplí (a typically Roman finger food) on the streets and just imagine all the history they’ve seen. Now, you get to be a part of their story too, on your very own day out in Rome!

    Irene was amazing! She is so kind, warm, knowledgeable and all around wonderful. She showed me Rome through her eyes while still prioritizing my interests and what I wanted to see. Honestly, I felt like I was spending the day with a friend. This was a 10/10 experience and I highly recommend booking this with Irene!

    Our guide Vania Fabri was truly special. She walked around Rome with us showing many hidden secret places. She took us to a wonderful coffee spot for breakfast and a local restaurant for lunch! We highly recommend City Unscripted and Vania.

    Vania was an outstanding tour guide! She showed me hidden gems of Rome that I would not find myself. She checked to find out my particular interests, and then designed the tour to suit me. We had a delicious lunch at a traditional restaurant that visitors might not find without a local guide. I absolutely recommend using a private City Unscripted tour guide to see the city. I learned a lot about Rome today! Thank you!
