Experience Off the beaten track tours in the best of
Rome with Withlocals

"Matteo is an exceptional guide. This is a wonderful tour for anyone who would like to travel beyond the tourist spots in Rome. Calcata is a unique place and we spent a truly enjoyable day meeting with locals and enjoying a delicious lunch."

"We shared an amazing day with Mateo outside of Rome. Our first stop was a coffee cafe outside of Rome. There is actually beautiful green space you pass. Our next stop was the ancient town of Calcata. The views were amazing and the nice part we were there with the locals. We purchased a keepsake from a local artisan and had a great lunch at a local cafe in town. On the way back we stoped at a beach town and saw a local 5k swimming race. We didn’t want the day to end!"

"Interesting and unexpected insight to Rome off traditional tourist paths. Valentina was great to share her knowledge and to tell different stories that gave new angles on history and development of Rome. Absolutely recommend."

"Federico was the perfect tour guide! This was our 4th time in Rome and we wanted to tour a ruin that we had not seen before. Trajan’s Market tour was excellent. There were no crowds and views of Rome were spectacular. Federico was very knowledgeable, led a great tour and answered all of our questions. I highly recommend the tour and Federico."

"Max was such a delightful host. His knowledge of Rome’s history was impressive and his anecdotal stories of historical figures was entertaining. HIGHLY recommend!"

"Our tour with Lia of Trajan’s Markets and the Forum was absolutely outstanding and the highlight of my parents’ trip to Rome!! We’ve been to Rome many, many times, so it’s not easy to find a tour that feels fresh—but Lia did exactly that. :) She was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and flexible, adjusting the tour perfectly to our interests and pace. She brought the history of Rome to life in a way that felt vivid, human, and meaningful, even for seasoned Rome visitors. On top of that, she shared amazing insider tips—secret viewpoints we would never have found on our own and fantastic local places to eat that made the rest of our stay even better. (thank you! we went to the places afterwards!) Lia’s passion, warmth, and deep understanding of Rome made this experience truly special. I can’t recommend her highly enough—whether it’s your first time in Rome or your tenth. Thank you Lia!!!"

"Emanuele the Roman Pianist Guide is personable & nice, we had a great walk thru Rome. He imparted interesting info, the sites are bespoke and enjoyable. Also, Emanuele's guidance provided an excellent orientation of the layout of Rome's city Streets!"

"Lia gave me a brilliant tour this morning of the Trajan Markets… a place I had not even heard of before… it is a hidden gem - v close to the Colosseum but better!! less crowds, less noise, less hassle and more interesting when you have a guide like Lia to bring it to life for you… she was fabulous… she is not only very knowledgeable but also knows how to tailor her messages to the person (even the mood)… I arrived feeling a bit quiet and under the weather… she sensed it immediately and gently introduced me to the Roman world… 3 hours later i was enthralled by what I had seen and heard and am just so pleased i had Lia to explain it all to me.. she is a delightful guide whom I thoroughly recommend… thank you"

"Wonderful morning spent with a great guide who as well as being thoughtful and pleasant was knowledgeable and professional. Please consider engaging this wonderful lady."

"Eleonora was a terrific guide - knowledgeable and accommodating. We’ve been to Rome before so we wanted a deep dive into a place we’d never been. Eleonora’s tour delivered. Many thanks for a great afternoon, Eleonora!"
