What you’ll do

There’s a lot to see in Rome - that’s what being the center of an empire for a few centuries does to you! With one of our local Rome hosts by your side, however, this intoxicating city will take on an authentic air as you get to experience it through the eyes of a local.

Of course, you'll want to take in Rome's most iconic attractions, but what about bohemian neighborhoods like Trastevere or the ever-alternative Pigneto? With a full day at your disposal, the adventures you can have in Rome are endless. Follow your feet to new and exciting stores, markets, boutiques, galleries, and museums that are to be found around every corner.

Stop off and fill up on food at a local osteria, sip on espressos for that caffeine kick and challenge yourself to try as many gelato flavors as you possibly can!

Snack on supplí (a typically Roman finger food) on the streets and just imagine all the history they’ve seen. Now, you get to be a part of their story too, on your very own day out in Rome!

    Rather it’s your 1st or 5th time in Rome City Unscripted is the only way to see Rome. I don’t enjoy “small group” tours as much. In my opinion they are overpriced for what you get. The tour with city unscripted was curated to what my husband and I were interested in and more. It’s very affordable, exceeded my expectations, and we got to see Rome from a locals perspective.

    Ugo has a wonderful personality, very knowledgeable, and planned a great day. I wouldn’t want to see Rome any other way. I have family visiting in the future and I’m recommending they tour with Ugo.

    Tom took us on a fun and informative 6 hour waking tour of Rome. What is really cool is that the tour can be completely personalized to your preferences and activity level. We saw many historical sites that Tom had all of the facts about and enjoyed a great meal at a local restaurant that was off the tourist path. We enjoyed our tour with Tom as it was like spending the day with an old friend. I recommend this service 100%! Thanks again, Tom!!!

    We recently visited Rome and took a 6 hour walking tour with Thomas (Tom). Tom is a native English speaker (From California) That was a good start since I sometimes find it difficult to understand a strong accent. We told Tom that we were down for anything and he really delivered a great experience. We saw beautiful parts of the city that we never would have seen on our own and enjoyed eating at local restaurants that Tom recommend. Tom has all of the historical facts and clever anecdotes about his adopted city. I highly recommend hiring him for your Roman tour. It was like spending the day with a good friend. Thanks again, Tom. We will see you again someday soon.
