Uncover the best of Trastevere the local Way

"Simone was an excellent tour guide. He was very personable and knowledgable about the history of the area. It was so fun hearing about the history of Trastevere and about different Roman poets. Along the stops, he’d read a poem in the original language and then translate it, going into the deeper meaning behind the poems. My favorite thing about the tour was getting to connect with a fellow poet. At the end, we both shared poems we each had written, and he even wrote about our tour and about each of our personalities. I’m so glad I found this gem of a tour. It was fun to explore Rome through the lens of poetry. If you’re interested in something a little more unique and love poetry then this tour is for you!"

"We had a fun night being introduced to the Trastevere area and the custom of the Apperitivo. Simone was friendly and informative. Also gave us great recommendations for the rest of our stay in Rome."

"Matteo was a great guide! He took us around the streets of Rome for some photographic angles, assisted with ideas and perspective. Also, the idea of capturing "Rome" was an interesting concept for me.... trying to capture the essence in its people, its buildings. It was a good way of focusing on how to feature Rome through my photos and not just another city. His knowledge of Roman history was an added bonus. Matteo also took us to his favourite coffee shop, pizza stop and gelato. All just great! Matteo took his time and we did not feel rushed during our ramble through Rome's streets. I would highly recommend Matteo's friendly, informative and professional service. Grazie mille! "

"Matteo was the BEST! The pictures were taken on our phone so we got then all and he made them look very professional with just our normal phones. He was able to direct us to the best gelato, coffee, pastries, and even a park (hard to find in rome)! He was great with our parents, and our toddler! We could not possibly be more pleased with this experience! 😀 "

"Gabriele was great. He made our tour so fun and exciting. He is super friendly, knowledgeable and made great picks that everyone enjoyed. After our tour he made a few recommendations for our group and we absolutely loved it. I feel we got a chance to experience Rome from a more local perspective. "

"We had an amazing time touring Trastevere with Matteo! It was a fun and meaningful experience that really helped us discover the local charm of the city. We joined the tour with our two young children (aged 5 and 2), and Matteo was incredibly kind and attentive to them. Thanks to his warm and patient attitude, even our little ones enjoyed the tour and were able to participate comfortably. There were times when our kids were slow to move or didn’t quite cooperate, but Matteo was always patient and understanding. That allowed us to enjoy the tour at our own pace without any pressure. One of the highlights was that Matteo took many beautiful family photos for us. Thanks to him, we now have lovely memories captured in pictures that we will treasure forever. He also took us to places we never would have found on our own and recommended some delicious local restaurants. We ended up having dinner at one of them after the tour – it was fantastic! We were especially happy to hear that we were his first Japanese guests. Matteo explained everything clearly in English, which made it easy for us to understand and enjoy the experience. We highly recommend this tour, especially for families with young children. Thank you so much, Matteo!"

"We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Matteo. We did a fair bit of hill climbing but it was all so worth it for the incredible view of the city from up high and rewarded ourselves with incredible gelato on the way back down! He was great with our 7 yo and thankfully the promise of a sweet treat did the trick. Grazie Mille "

"We had an amazing time with Vania - we sometimes even felt like locals. We learned a lot about Roman food and got a lot of recommendations. Unfortunately, the Porchetta was sold out but we got fantastic ham and a bottle of wine instead."

"This was such a precious memory for us during our visit to Rome. The walk around the neighbourhood with Matteo was such an eye opener. We learnt so much from Matteo — from photography tips to the history of the place and the local life and food of the people. Matteo taught us how to factor lighting in, which resulted in awesome photos. He gave us tips on photography which we will definitely use from now on. The local cafe with pasta, pizza and fried breaded rice croquettes (suppli) were delicious! Will definitely recommend Rome Photo Walk with Matteo 😊👍"

"Valeria is a wonderful guide, very knowledgeable and personable. Worked with us to customize our tour to our tastes and showed us many hidden gems and helped us understand them and their significance. Gave excellent suggestions for local food to eat after the tour that did not disappoint!"
