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

"My husband and I had a great tour with Valeria. She is super knowledgeable about history and architecture. She even landed us a dinner reservation on a Saturday night!"

"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!!!"

"Last Saturday we did a tour "off the beaten tracks" in Rome and visited the Garbatella district. If you've seen the highlights of Rome already and want to discover an interesting part of the city which is not crowded 😅 this is the area to visit. Valeria is a great guide, very well skilled, architect and photographer. We learned a lot about Rome what we didn't know yet. TOP and absolute recommendation. "

"Valeria provided us with a unique view of the Jewish Ghetto and Trastevere neighborhoods, sharing with us her expansive knowledge of history, architecture, and art in the area. She kindly accommodated us and tailored the tour to our schedule and pace. I would highly recommend booking a tour with her for a deeper understanding of the history of these beautiful neighborhoods."

"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"

"We have taken WITH LOCALS tours all over the world and Valeria was definitely one of the best tour guides. Smart. Engaging. Friendly. Shared her enthusiasm for history and architecture and GELATO. Speaks excellent English. To"

"Valeria is a straightforward guide who brought her city to life with an engaging presentation backed by artwork of Ettore Franz to illustrate “then and now,”which was instructive and interesting. Great tour."
