What travelers think of our Rome experiences
What you’ll do
You’ll join one of our local Rome hosts to discover 28 centuries of history - quite the task, we know. Luckily, Romans are well versed in their city’s history and your host can’t wait to share it with you!
Behind the beauty of every crumbling ruin in Rome is a story waiting to be told; you’ll discover ancient landmarks dating back to 753BC - if only the walls could talk!
Walkthrough centuries of history, from Ancient Rome through the Middle Ages to the Renaissance, and experience the history of the Eternal City come to life as you explore ancient parts of the city, old basilica, and character-packed alleyways.
Climb up to the panoramic viewpoints overlooking this ancient city before ambling back down into the city center to grab an aromatic espresso or a revitalizing spritz and something to eat - we’re thinking pizza romana or a porchetta sandwich (very Roman).
Not your average history lesson, we’re sure you’ll agree.
