What you’ll do

From the pillars of ancient Rome to the pockets of the city where old-school trattorias cozy up alongside no-frills standing bars, there's more to Rome than could be experienced in just two thousand years of history, let alone four hours. But with a local to help you make the most of your time, you’ll be able to experience a slice of la dolce vita. Flit between iconic landmarks and open-air markets in the heart of Antique Rome, or explore alternative districts flung across the outer reaches of the city, where glamorous streets like those radiating from the Spanish Steps give way to charmingly gritty lanes and alternative venues like Città dell’Altra Economia, Testaccio’s community hub for markets, events and art.

    Andreea was a fantastic tour guide. Her English is pretty good and she knows a lot and you can ask her everything! She gave us a great overview of Rome during our 4h tour

    Andreea was a brilliant tour guide. You really recognise that history is her passion. We had a 4h tour and through that tour we got a fantastic overview about Rome! We really recommend the City Unscripted!

Excellent tour with an excellent guide. Ugo is a very knowledgeable professional and he took us to the known places in Rome and to many not so known as well. Excellent tour. We definitely recommend.
