Discover Rome and Italy with the best tours

We did a full day private tour (4 of us). We were picked up at our hotel right on time and started at the Coliseum with the underground included. When we were dropped off at the Coliseum we were greeted by our tour guide, Marina. She was amazing! She led us around the underground, explaining all the areas and giving us details of the life of a gladiator. We then toured the upper portion of the Coliseum. She knew all the places to take great photos where there weren’t a lot of people. We then went to the Forum and learned even more about life in Ancient Rome. She then took us to a wonderful little restaurant for lunch, off the beaten path so not many tourists. Our driver then picked us up and took us to the Vatican where we toured the museum, Sistine Chapel and St. Peter’s Basillica. Again Marina was amazing! Unbeknownst to the rest of us, one of the people in our group tried to stump her with questions and she always knew the answer. At the end of the day the driver picked us up and took us back to the hotel. Amazing day!!

Highly recommend Walks Inside Rome and this tour! The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and passionate! The only way to see the Vatican/Sistine Chapel is this private tour. The crowds are crazy and skipping the lines with someone who knew how to navigate inside relieved the stress. Walks inside Rome were wonderful! Very responsive and made great suggestions.

Terrific customer service and terrific tours. I corresponded with WIR for several months ahead of a March 2024 trip to Rome, discussing options for various tours, and they were always responsive, polite, informative, flexible, and helpful. Ultimately we booked two tours: a private early morning tour for 8 persons for the Vatican museums and St. Peter's (3 hours, kid-friendly) and a private 4 person Caravaggio painting workshop. Both were excellent. The tour guide for the Vatican museums and St. Peters spoke excellent English and was magnificent with the kids, helping to guide us through an incredibly crowded, hectic museum environment while also introducing, explaining, and contextualizing the museum and key pieces. She had just the right touch in knowing how much information the kids could absorb, and she was terrific in St. Peter's, as well. Later, our tour guide for the Caravaggio workshop was so lovely, connecting wonderfully with the whole family. It was one of the highlights of our trip. I would 100% recommend WIR to anyone else visiting Rome, either for the first time or for a repeat visit.

Our guide was very knowledgeable and passionate and her Catholic faith and history. She really made the tour very special.

Our guide, Sergio, was great. Unfortunately, the underground portion of the tour was in Italian (we speak English), but Sergio was good about quietly keeping us informed of what the Italian guide was saying, so it was great. He was also very knowledgable about the Forum, which was also fascinating. Directions were also crystal clear. I would do again.
