Experience Art & Culture Tours in Rome with Withlocals

"We met with Cecilia for a private tour of the Colosseum and greatly appreciated the opportunity to spend time with an extremely well-informed, interesting and pleasant young lady. Cecilia shared information about the arena and helped bring to life the history of the people who lived and died there. Cecilia was enthusiastic and willing to spend time answering our questions. We were delighted with the tour."

"Our three hour tour of the Colosseo, Palentine Hill and the Roman Forum with Valentina on our first day of a two week "Italian Roman Holiday" was an excellent way to start the vacation for the foursome of us. Valentina was amazing in knowledge and history. We (I) learned more in one hour inside the Colosseo with Valentina, than all the previous trips there and reading National Geographic growing up! The Palentine Hill was much larger than I had appriciated and Valentina pointed out various details in The Forum (i.e games carved into steps temples converted to churches, etc. ) that I had either missed or was lacking in insight by other tour guides on visits to other ancient Roman cities thru out the Mediterrean. As the day went on, we got to know Valentina more as a person, than "just" a WithLocal Guide. . . a true bonus, by the end of the three hours, of a hot June day, we had more of acquaintances, than just guide and tourists . . . . Grazie for a wonderful day in Rome!"

"We had a fabulous tour with Paolo, today. From booking to conclusion the process was seamless. His explanations and imagery brought the venue to life. His knowledge of the history was vast and his charming and engaging personality added to the overall perfect experience. "

"I travel frequently and have booked many tours with many guides through different companies. I can say without any hesitation that Alessandra was the best and most enjoyable tour guide I’ve ever had. It started with the moment I booked the tour and she efficiently guided me through the process of purchasing tickets to the Colosseum. She then communicated frequently with me until the day of the tour. Despite having done another tour earlier in the day, she was still full of energy and enthusiasm. Her tour of the Colosseum and Forum was informative in the most entertaining way, she had the most fascinating stories to keep us constantly interested for the duration of the 2.5 hour tour. She was also so kind and accommodating to my mother who needed frequent breaks from the heat and the steps. I cannot recommend Alessandra highly enough if you want to have the most enjoyable guided tour through Rome. Grazie mille Alessandra, I really hope to see you again on my next visit. "

"I would highly recommend Eleonora if you want to do a private tour of the Vatican/Sistine Chapel. This was the first time at the Vatican for our 18 and 20 year old granddaughters and Eleonora struck the perfect balance of providing interesting info about the most important features of the Vatican museum and Sistine chapel without getting bogged down on any one subject. Even though my wife and I have been to the Vatican several times, Eleonora made it interesting for us as well. She also did a great job of maneuvering our little group through the throngs of tourists. To top it off, Eleonora has a great personality."

"Pietro Paolo provided a fun, informative and engaging tour for our family, including our two small kids. Highly recommend!"

"We enjoyed our tour with Amandio! He navigated us through Rome as a true pro…not an easy thing for a family of five with three young kids. We saw amazing views/sights and learned history we wouldn’t have otherwise. Amandio kept both the adults and the kids engaged. I was a bit nervous on the bikes, but we made it! He guided us well and made sure we were okay. What a neat experience."

"Pietro was great! We really enjoyed it!"

"Thanks to Alessandra we had such a great experience and heard fascinating stories!! We loved every moment. "

"Our tour guide Paolo was the best! Very knowledgeable and friendly. Answered each and every question we had. No matter how silly. He joked with us and informed us of several facts that we did not know. He was packed full of so much good information. We are so grateful and thankful for him and the way he elevated our experience at the colosseum. Highly recommend him. We are from the United States and were worried about the language barrier but Paolo spoke English very well and his communication skills were top notch. We wish we would have booked him for the forum tour as well because of all the information we feel we missed out on just wondering around. Do yourself a favor and book him. You will not regret it. "
