10/10 Experience - A Must Do! - This tour was amazing and a must see. Our tour guide was Csenge, who is an architecture student and knows everything there is to know about Roman architecture. It was such a treat to learn from her and chat about life in Rome.

Great walking tour with Yusef - Yusef was amazing! He was so informative and knew so much about all of the sites on our walking tour! He always found shady spots to stop and share info and was so helpful finding great photo ops! We thoroughly enjoyed our time with him and would highly recommend him as a guide!

The Perfect Introduction - This wasn’t our tour but couldn’t find “Wonders of Rome walking tour” on drop down menu!! It was a group walk with only 5 of us in attendance which was super lucky! This was our first night and a fabulous introduction to central Rome. Many of the major sights covered and Mary, our guide, was super informative. She delivered the tour with enthusiasm, demonstrating great local knowledge. Two hours passed in a flash! We felt we had really been introduced to the city and gave us the perfect grounding upon which to base the rest of our wanders! Thank you, Mary!

Exceptional Walking Tour of Rome with Dan - We had an incredible experience on our walking tour of Rome, all thanks to our guide, Dan. He was absolutely superlative—extremely knowledgeable, patient, and engaging throughout. Dan didn’t just recite facts; he brought the city's rich history to life with deep insights and fascinating stories that added so much context and meaning to every site we visited. His passion for Roman history was truly contagious, and he took the time to answer all our questions with care and depth. We left the tour with a much deeper appreciation for the Eternal City. Highly recommended!

The Best Tour guide of Rome - Our tour guide, Dan, was absolutely brilliant! He is incredibly knowledgeable, and we truly enjoyed all the fascinating details he shared with us. What made the experience even more special was the personal, local perspective he brought to the tour, the sights we have seen thanks to him, it really added something unique. We genuinely appreciated his expertise and the time he took with us and you should go for it with Dan. Without a doubt, we would love to reach out to him again when we return to Rome. He’s THE BEST.
