This private evening tour of Rome was well worth it. Everything was easy from the start, and the whole experience felt smooth and stress-free. Walking through Rome at night was the highlight. The Christmas lights and nearby market gave the city a special feel, and stopping for dinner, pastries, and hot chocolate made the evening even better. It never felt rushed and was a great way to take in the city. Luca, our guide, was excellent. He knew the history inside and out and explained things in a way that was interesting and easy to follow. You could tell he really enjoys sharing Rome and its history. Rome has been on my bucket list for a long time. We went in not knowing exactly what to expect and came away very happy with the experience. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxed, personal way to experience the city.

To start with we were late. Them we had a very unusual idea of what we wanted to do, were very difficult and had people that went different ways. She was very kind, patient and flexible.

Spent a very enjoyable and informative walk through the neighborhoods with Indira. She tailored the agenda expertly to our needs and the weather (very rainy) making for an excellent experience.

What you’ll do

If it's been a while since you were in this ancient city or this is your first visit, joining one of our local Rome hosts to help you find your feet is the perfect way to get your trip off to a good start!

Orientate yourself among the tiny cobbled streets as you wander through character-packed piazzas and past the perfect imperfection of historical ruins - there's no telling what you might find.

Discover how to navigate the city's network of trams, buses, and trains, get oriented in the city streets (no getting lost on our watch!), discover the briefest of histories, and get tips for how to enjoy Rome like a local.

Along the way, you'll see some iconic sights - think crumbling ruins and ancient churches - and you can stop for an espresso (the locals don't have milky coffees after lunch), a slice of pizza Romana, or gelato along the way.

It's always easier to find your feet with a friend by your side, and that is exactly how it will feel with our host, who will have you feeling right at home once they've shared their tips for where to eat, how to get around, and spilled a local secret or two.
