Overview

Italy has changed. But Rome is Rome. Rome is the city of echoes, the city of illusions, and the city of yearning. Rome wasn’t built in a day, it was built to be Eternal. But who's responsible? Romulus, Cesar, the Pope, which popes? What's the secret behind the rise of the Eternal City? Where does its power lie?

Why so many churches and where’s the best pizza? How many fountains are there in Rome? How many coins are tossed into the most beautiful of them? Why are the Egyptian obelisks everywhere, and who would have invented a basil-flavored gelato?

The questions about Rome, its heroes, and its history are infinite, and our guides will be happy to answer all of them.

Let us guide you through these ancient streets, and you’ll find out what sets Rome apart from any other city.

Get ready for a journey through ambitions and dreams, envy and hatred, pride and love of the families who made Rome.

“Perfetto :)”
Our tour guide Jacopo was great, he gave just the right amount of information and pointed out things you could see on the monuments and in other things like pictures and gave nice background information without being overwhelming. There was even a little break at the Trevi Fountain to take photos, but you could also have an espresso in the meantime. I would recommend the tour to anyone and would even do it again myself.

Well-organized free tour. Unfortunately, there were none in French, but our guide's accent was easy to understand. Very interesting. Good explanations. Always open to questions. We were allowed to visit a private place. Glad I did this tour and I recommend it. I learned a lot!
