Trams, a labyrinth of cobbled streets and the perfect imperfection of historical ruins.
Here’s everything you need to know before your day unfolds.
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.

Bea was a fantastic guide. She was warm and engaging. She's bright and very knowledgeable. She has an artist's soul so it was easy to connect while she shared some of her favorite places in Rome. She was also very flexible regarding the itinerary. It was an exceptionally hot day so the plan we initially laid out had to be adjusted. She pivoted like a pro, without complaint. Ask for Bea if you want an intelligent (she knows German and Chinese!) guide who radiates warmth and personality.
Show moreWe booked our tour through VIATOR and were fortunate to secure Alex from City Unscripted as our guide. Alex was great and his depth of knowledge was a real benefit to our tour as he has able to explain the significance of each of the sites we visited. If you plan on doing this tour see if you can line up Alex as your guide, you won't be disappointed.
Show moreAlex had a depth of knowledge that we did not expect. His detailed explanation of the importance of each site was superb and he really looked after us in explaining what was in front of us. Couldn’t recommend Alex high enough.
Show moreLuca was an excellent guide. Very friendly, knowledgeable, and engaging. He accommodated all of our requests. Highly recommend.
Show moreLuca did an awesome job. He contacted us prior to the tour to find out our interests and not only did we visit several amazing sites, he was willing to take us off the beaten path to see areas many people would overlook. He had great knowledge of the city, area, and cultures. He was very personable and did not try to just keep us moving and finish like some other tour guides we had. He even stayed with us as long as we had questions and offered multiple recommendations for food and sites to see while we were visiting.
