Hi, I’m Alex

Rome
5.0 (57)

What I love most about this city is its timeless charm and the feeling that you’re walking through the heart of history—truly, Roma caput mundi (Rome Capital of the World). Rome has a unique energy that blends ancient wonders with a vibrant modern lifestyle, and I can’t wait to share it with you. I enjoy exploring the city’s museums, discovering the trendiest neighborhoods, and unwinding with friends over a great drink. From cobblestone streets lined with historic landmarks to hidden corners filled with character, I know the best spots to capture Rome’s magic. With a deep knowledge of the entire historic center, I’ll guide you to the top places to eat, drink, and experience the city’s lively atmosphere. Let’s create unforgettable memories in the Eternal City together! See you soon.

Hi, I’m Massimo

Rome
5.0 (10)

I'm a professional tour guide and tour leader, licensed in Italian, English, and Spanish. I began guiding Italian groups abroad when I was just 18, and not long after, I discovered my greatest love - the city of Rome. Since I was 21, I’ve been endlessly captivated by its charm: the art, the history, the flavors, the hidden gems, and the unexpected neighborhoods that make this city so unique. What I enjoy most is bringing Rome to life for my guests, showing not only its world-famous highlights but also the enchanting corners that few ever get to experience. Every tour with me is designed to feel authentic, immersive, and full of surprises - the kind of memories that stay with you long after you’ve left the Eternal City.

From its iconic monuments to hidden corners bursting with charm, Rome never ceases to amaze me. And let’s not forget the local cuisine—it’s as rich and vibrant as the city itself! You’ll often find me visiting art exhibitions, wandering through cobblestone streets, or simply soaking in the unique atmosphere that makes Rome so unforgettable. Whether it’s uncovering secret spots or indulging in authentic Roman dishes, I’m always on the lookout for something new to share. As someone who knows this city inside out, I can’t wait to help you experience the Rome you’ve dreamed of—and maybe even discover a few surprises along the way! See you soon.

Hi, I’m Elo

Rome
5.0 (1)

I love that even the most hidden corners of the city are steeped in history, and I adore the energy of a city that can fall and always rise again. I enjoy wandering through the historic centre, Trastevere, Appio Latino, Tuscolano, and Prati–Vatican, discovering charming alleyways, vibrant squares, and perfect spots for sunset photos. Some of my favorite moments include savoring tonnarelli cacio e pepe with a glass of red wine or listening to artists perform at Pincian Hill as the sun sets. I love sharing the real, living Rome with visitors, from its parks to its hidden gems.

Hi, I’m Sabina

Rome

Rome is called the eternal city for a reason, it's an everlasting masterpiece, full of traditions, delicious food, and enough history and art to fill a thousand lifetimes! What truly excites me about Rome is its dynamic contrast between ancient marvels and modern culture. Whether I'm wandering through local markets, indulging in the flavors of street food, or cruising on my Vespa through neighborhoods like Testaccio, Garbatella, and Trastevere, every corner offers a new adventure. As a Rome enthusiast, I thrive on sharing my knowledge of ancient history, wine archaeology, Baroque architecture, and of course, where to find the best local eats and wines. So, if you're ready to immerse yourself in the magic of Rome, let's embark on an unforgettable journey together!

Hi, I’m Alex

Rome

I truly believe Rome deserves its title of the "Eternal City", you can walk through 2000 years of history in a single afternoon, and somehow still discover something new every single time. I love taking a different route just to reach the same place, chatting with locals, and popping into shops that have been run by the same families for generations. Hidden churches, quiet museums, rooftop views, there's always another corner of Rome waiting to be found. Born in Civitavecchia and now living just outside Rome on the ancient Francigena Route, I know the city center and beyond, from the Etruscan countryside to charming medieval villages. As a lifelong sports fan, I love arranging match days or unique training experiences, and as a father of two, I'm happy to help plan family friendly adventures too. I've been showing people my Rome since the Jubilee of 2000!

We took two tours on consecutive days during our few days in Rome. Our tour guide on both tours was Alex. Right from the start we told Alex that we wanted to be shown things that we would never have discovered on our own. Alex responded by showing us hidden gem after hidden gem along with other more well known sites that we had asked for. He even showed us a magnificent church with fantastic sculptures where there were no other visitors.. Alex's knowledge and love of history and art enabled him to bring the history of Rome to life. Thank you Alex.

We had a fantastic tour with Alessandro. From the moment that he reached out to arrange a meeting point, to his final recommendation for dinner (which was delicious), Alessandro was great. We had limited time in Rome and our walking tour covered the perfect amount without feeling overwhelming. Alessandro was so knowledgeable about the city, history, art, and culture (and gelatto!). I would highly recommend this tour, and Alessandro, to all my friends and family.

I was looking for an introduction to Rome and Indira didn’t not disappoint. She brought us to a great coffee shop to start us off for our three hour tour! She showed us around most of the big attractions as well as a beautiful spot off the beaten path. We got a good feel of the city by the time the tour was over. She also gave some advice after she left . If it’s your first time in Rome I highly recommend getting a tour guide.

Geraldo is a well-educated and passionate historian of Rome. If you like, he will take you off the beaten path to interesting and beautiful places you likely wouldn’t see. He is very pleasant.

Rome private custom tour with a local, Highlights & Hidden Gems: Vany was a fantastic guide. She took us to see many hidden gems that on our own we would never have been able to find and also some highlights that we had never seen. She had great knowledge of all of Rome and also took us to a very old coffee store for a great coffee.

My husband, Jeff and I, booked a 5 hour walking tour of Rome. Indrid was a wonderful guide - she was extremely knowledgeable of the city and the history of Rome. Her passion and enthusiasm for Rome, its history and culture really came through. We worked together on what we wanted to see. She went above and beyond to make our tour incredible. She also extended her stay to recommend places and restaurants that only an experienced Roman would know. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again - for Rome or other places in Italy.
