Great experience! Spent a layover flight in Rome, Tom met us at the airport and took us to several locations for the day. We felt very comfortable and he provided us with a lot of history. We stopped for gelato and he even shared some local food and drink spots.

I opted for the ‘Escape the airport’ excursion as I only had an afternoon to spare in Rome before my flight - Ugo was my excellent host, I literally would have been lost without him. He took me everywhere I wanted to see using routes that seemed a little off the usual paths but somehow all connected beautifully and gave me unique views of the major landmarks. He happily showed me the best local spot for gelato, simple authentic pizza and even lead me to several street musicians which I specifically asked about. We walked 22,000 steps according to my health app in just a few hours but I didn’t feel rushed at all, it was like walking around with a friend who saw me back to the station and waved me off as my train left. I’d highly recommend Ugo and the unscripted experience I chose.

What you’ll do

You’re in Rome - home of Leonardo da Vinci, showground of Michaelangelo, and the center of the ancient world! The only problem is… you’re stuck in its airport.

Well, not for much longer, because we’re here to bust you out. Whether you only have a few hours to spare, or are lingering a little while longer, join one of our local Rome hosts and turn your layover into a mini-holiday, as you sightsee and explore this beautiful city together.

They’ll give you an authentic taste of what this historic capital is all about! Perhaps you’d like to take in a few famous sights? It’s all up to you!

Alternatively, you could swing past a local market and indulge in some sweet, sun-ripened fruit, sip on Italian red wine in an open-air plaza or enjoy copas (cocktails) as the sunsets. You’ll be left with an impression of Rome that will only have you wanting to come back for more. Now, why is it that you needed to catch that flight home, again?
