Discover Rome and Italy with the best tours

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.

We had an amazing experience with Marina after our breakfast (post Sistine Chapel tour with Irene) touring St. Peter's Basilica, the Coliseum and Roman Forum. Marina was so knowledgeable and guided us throughout the church, pointing out things we never would have picked up on during the route. We got to the coliseum and it was a hot day so she effortlessly kept us in the shade while still explaining the history, and ins and outs of the magnificent coliseum. She answered all our questions, took many photos, and kept us engaged despite the June weather in Rome being hot and dry! 100/100 would recommend - thank you Marina for a great time and showing us a piece of Rome's great history!

This tour was a wonderful experience in the Trastavere neighborhood of Rome, which felt out of the tourist areas and made the experience feel more authentic. The neighborhood is vibrant and bustling, and the walking (which we did quite a lot of) played a huge part in the enjoyment. But the food-wow! We tried two different kinds of pizza, one with potatoes on it (yummy!). So, so good. We tried an unusual battered and fried spaghetti on a stick, which was a delicious appetizer. We had an interesting street food that was some sort of fried popover with cheese at the center. We stopped at a delicatessen with amazing roasted pork and prosciutto. We dined at a Trattoria that served us an amazing pasta dish with wine (most of our group doesn't drink but it was available). The final course- delicious gelato done authentically (not the poofy gelato with air pumped into it for tourists). Our guide was a young man with great enthusiasm for all the foods and made the evening so much fun. If you are going to Italy you must do at least one food tour like this. We did another food tour in Verona which was very different from this one but both incredibly informative and fun. Foods tours are a great change of pace from the history/museum/archaeological tours, and I highly recommend this one!

We had a phenomenal tour of the Vatican, exclusive access to the Sistine Chapel, and then of the Colosseum and Forum with Maria Daga. We have visited the Sistine Chapel a few times before, including another early access, and this visit with our family was really outstanding thanks to Maria and Irina. They were extremely knowledgeable, and Maria in particular was engaging, flexible, and knowledgeable enough to adjust her content to each person in our small group. We had great access, weren’t rushed, and plenty of time to take in the best parts of the Sistine Chapel and Vatican. Maria was a real treasure….I’d ask for her and would highly recommend!!

Our full day Private driver (Gabrielle) and Guide (Francesca) were amazing. The Tour started at the Pier - Ship pick up with Gabrielle sharing his knowledge of the surrounding area on the drive to Rome. Francesca is so knowledgeable and experienced; she offered time to see so much of the sites we wished to visit and even more. The crowds were massive, but her knowledge allowed us to by-pass huge lines with more time to witness the antiquities, Colosseum, Forum, Panthéon, Piazza Navona, Vatican City. Walks Inside Rome is by far a leader in Touring in Italy.
