The pace is set by your group, but any tour in Rome involves a fair amount of walking, often on uneven cobblestone streets. The standard duration is two and a half hours, so we strongly recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes and bringing a bottle of water. Please note, this tour is not suitable for people with reduced mobility or for those using strollers, as navigating the city's historic streets can be challenging. We can, however, adapt the route to be as comfortable as possible for your group's fitness level.

Absolutely. This private tour is perfect for a deep dive into any topic. If you're passionate about a particular period or neighbourhood, we can dedicate the entire walk to it. For inspiration, you might look at our free public tours, which have set themes. For example, if you're interested in ancient history, our "Julius Caesar Tour - The Legacy of Ancient Rome" explores the rise and fall of the dictator. If you'd prefer to explore a unique local culture, our "From Jewish Ghetto to Trastevere" tour offers a fascinating perspective. We can adapt ideas from these for your private experience.

Wonderful and Memorable City Tour in Rome

Our guided city tour in Rome was absolutely fantastic. It was professional, lively, interactive, and very entertaining, making the experience both informative and great fun throughout. The guide presented everything in a very engaging and engagingly dynamic way, which made the tour feel truly immersive and never boring. We especially appreciated that there was not only a wealth of interesting information, but also enough time to enjoy the atmosphere, take everything in, and simply pause and appreciate the surroundings. The tour was part of the supporting programme for a friends’ wedding weekend, and it was a perfect shared experience for the group. Highly recommended – a memorable, well-paced and thoroughly enjoyable city tour!
