Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We found Simone be friendly and approachable. The poems were interesting and gave us a real experience of recent and ancient Roman life. There were two of us and Rome was very busy but when we saw large groups of other tourists following flag carrying guides and struggling to hear them we were very hsppy to have a guide such as Simone. He was excellent."
"Matteo did a fine job guiding me to some photogenic spots in Rome that I hadn't known about (despite half a dozen prior trips). He's also a very good photographer, able to see compositions and execute them. "
"We were so grateful we participated in this tour. It was so much more meaningful to have a private tour to ask questions. We were able to experience Ancient Rome but also World War Two history, see a part of Rome that you typically don’t visit and I had my favorite pasty in the Jewish Ghetto the Crostada DI Ricotta e Visciole. We also had a delicious lunch recommended by Valeria. We loved having the photos and maps to help us understand the history we were walking through that is still being written today. "
"We were so glad we had Simone as a tour guide. He brought passion and insight to many interesting sights in Rome. Hearing poems in “Roman” while standing in magnificent locations was a truly wonderful experience. We would book him again and encourage others to do so too. "

"Gabriele made our Rome experience feel like we were friends visiting. He was personable, fun, and easy to connect with, making us feel at home and not awkward tourists. I highly recommend choosing Gabriel as part of your Rome adventure!"
"Andrea was amazing. His passion for art and the Roman food scene were integral to the amazing tour he designed for us. The drinks and bites were varried, led us around some great sites, and Andrea's personal and professional connections to the area made his insights amazing. "
"In Rome for the first time celebrating an anniversary, Emanuele picked us up near our hotel. The night was spent on a walking tour throughout the city eating small bites like suppli and trying beers from Sardinia. We learned so much about the culture and the history of Rome from the best foods/ restaurants to try to where Cesar was assassinated . Emanuele made our trip so memorable and we thank him for that. "
"Matteo started by trying to understand our photography interests and the type of shots we enjoyed taking. From there he gave us some great ideas on capturing Rome and took us to many interesting as spots, mostly away from crowds. It was a terrific tour which took in many places and photo opportunities. "
"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 chose this tour as a way to learn a bit about local history while in Rome, and this a brilliant insight! A really refreshing change from the standard tourist treks, Simone took us to a great range of the 'big hits' (Pantheon, Jewish Quarter) as well some gems we would never have wandered into by ourselves (Bibliotheca Angelica was breathtaking, as was the Basilica of Santa Maria in Trastevere), all with really interesting insight into literature, poetry, drama and even food, giving a real insight into Roman character (which is frankly missing from your usual Colosseum or Vatican experience!) Highly recommended both for those who may be looking something a bit different, but really anyone who enjoys an insightful walking tour at a nice pace. Thanks to Simone for an engaging few hours!"
