A walking tour of Rome is the perfect way to kick off your stay in the Eternal City.
It’s an ideal introduction, especially if it’s your first time here, as it helps you get oriented while exploring the city’s most famous squares and fountains. And what better way to live ‘la dolce vita’ (the Sweet Life) when in Rome? By indulging in Italy’s best-loved foodstuff, gelato
Rome: there’s so much to see and so little time, but don’t worry! The perfect morning or afternoon awaits as you discover and enjoy the sights of this wonderful city. Rome has been my home all my life. Explore it with me, and you’ll be seeing the real side of the Italian capital from an insider’s perspective only a local can offer.
We’ll encounter all of Rome’s household names: the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, Pantheon, and Piazza Navona. But that’s not all. We’ll also discover quiet corners and churches, squares, courtyards, and much more! And what better way to live ‘la dolce vita’ (the sweet life) when in Rome? By indulging in Italy’s best-loved foodstuff: gelato!
Starting from your hotel or from a central location, we’ll make our way into the Campo Marzio (Field of Mars). Far from the far-flung field you might expect, this is actually the name of Rome’s historic centre, named after the god of war because it’s here, outside the ancient city walls, where the Roman legions used to train.
I’ll then walk you through Rome’s main attractions: as well as exploring such sights as the Spanish Steps and Trevi Fountain, I’ll share priceless tips, helpful advice and cultural insights, bringing an insider’s expertise to your visit to Rome!
From here it’s not far to the Pantheon and Piazza Navona, two stunning structures with a fascinating ancient past. In a relaxed, friendly atmosphere, you’ll see this fascinating city come to life through stories, anecdotes and urban legends and learn about popes, emperors, and artists who left their mark on the Eternal City.
No day spent exploring Rome would be complete without ‘doing as the Romans do.’ And what do the Romans do after their passeggiata (leisurely stroll) through the historic centre? They duck into one of their favourite gelaterie for a cup or cone of the creamy stuff of dreams.
I’ll take you to try the best gelato in Rome – not the tourist traps that push mass-produced ‘gelato’ near the main sights but the hidden artisan gelaterie. Whatever your taste, whether it’s rich, dark chocolate, nutty pistacchio, or fresh summer fruits just bursting with flavour, I’ll take you to the place that’s best for you.
Capture the essence of Rome with me and at the end of the tour, you’ll feel like a local, at home.

Where do we meet for the tour?
The tour begins at your hotel, where I will pick you up directly in the lobby. However, if your hotel is located far from the city center, I will provide you with a central meeting point where we can start the tour. In this case you will get full details of the exact location in the confirmation form I will send you upon booking your walking tour.
How soon should I book?
Some of my guests book many months in advance, some others at the last minute. In general, a few weeks’ notice is wise, especially in the busier months (from MAy to October).
How should I dress for the tour?
Please dress in a casual and comfortable way, keeping in mind the different seasons in Rome. I recommend layering regardless of when you visit. Indoor spaces will be heated in the winter and air-conditioned in the summer, so be ready for temperature changes. Bring a hat and sunscreen during the summer
