Gerry was a fantastic Coach who not only walked is through the incredible history and culture of Rome but also was very helpful in maximizing the limited time we had available to see and experience as many things as possible. Thanks again Gerry! Highly recommended!

What you’ll do

In a city whose history spans 28 centuries, we obviously know you couldn’t see all of its must-sees in one day. But you’ll join one of our local Rome hosts who can’t wait to share a taste of what makes their city so unmissable with you!

First things first, let us know if you have a Rome bucket list (if so, now’s the time to hand it over), or if you’ll leave it all down to your host to choose what they think are the must-see spots.

There are so many directions to take; maybe you'd like to soak up the buzz at the Spanish Steps, join the crowds at the Vatican or marvel at ancient ruins?

Maybe you’ve been dreaming of making a wish at the Trevi Fountain, exploring the Forum or you’d like to cross the Tiber and explore a local neighborhood?

Along the way, you could browse a market and get right to the heart of Rome’s cuisine, try street food like supplì, fried rice balls oozing with melted mozzarella, or settle in for a long and lazy Italian lunch on a piazza.

We know that a city is more than a place, it’s a feeling. So even with just one day, you’ll experience the feeling of Rome, and that’s pretty unmissable in our books.
