We had a wonderfully informative and enjoyable walking tour with Pedro. He was knowledgeable, engaging, and interesting throughout, and his English was excellent. My partner and I booked a three‑hour tour and learned so much along the way. We would happily book another tour with him in the future.

Alessandro was the...

stefanie_s, Apr 2026
Alessandro was the absolute BEST guide!! He was very knowledgeable about everywhere we went and everything we saw. He brought us to all the places we requested. His friendly personality was so refreshing to be around!!

A Perfect Day in Rome

amaya_b, Mar 2026
Alessandro was AMAZING! He was so polite, very informative, patient and will be a friend for life. Excited to see where he journeys. He took us around many places, and explained so much to us, that we would never have learned on our own. Even through all the changes with the weather it was a perfect day. Grazie Mille Alessandro! Alla prossima! Amaya

Alessandro was the best!

Dana_T, Mar 2026
Alessandro perfectly tailored the tour to incorporate those things we weren’t already planning on seeing. He is fun, knowledgeable and has perfect command of the English language, including sarcasm. He gave us great recommendations and was available for follow up questions.

Wonderful walking tour with Pedro

Great intro walking tour to Rome

Ellie_O, Jun 2025
Alessandro was a super friendly and polite guide. He gave us a great intro to Rome’s major sites. Can recommend to anyone travelling to Rome for the first time.

Rome walking tour

Kelly_A, May 2025
This tour takes you to and through areas that would be difficult to do on your own. In addition to seeing the key sights Alessandro took us into neighborhoods and on streets that show the traveler all sides of Rome. We also started early so missed lots of the crowds. We were so happy to have Alessandro as our guide as well. He was informative and clearly enjoys his job.

Maria was brilliant

Kathryn_L, Mar 2025
Maria was fantastic and i can speak highly enough of this tour. Maria contacted me before even arriving in Rome to ask where we were staying and what we wanted to see. The day before we arranged a meeting point which was easy to find, to say we saw all of the hidden gems of Rome is an understatement with local knowledge about each one of them. A stop at a local market and coffee spot added to the experience. would recommend Maria to anybody travelling to Rome

A wonderful way to get to know ancient Rome

Rosa_C, Feb 2025
Maria Elena was a GEM!!! She contacted me days before the tour to understand what I would like to see in Rome and she delivered! I booked the day long tour; I had mentioned I wanted to see at minimum the Trevi fountain, the Spanish Steps, a particular museum, and all the architecture we could cram into the hours of walking. I was impressed not only by the way she organized the experience to be able to see as much as possible, but her vast knowledge of the architecture and art within her city is phenomenal! She made the experience highly entertaining for me and she also recommended some amazing restaurants that were equally incredible. I highly recommend Maria Elena for a wonderful tour of Rome. Thank you, Maria Elena!!

Our tour guide Bado was great! This was our first day in Rome and he gave us a great introductory tour and tips to see to make the most of our time.

The Night tour is a must do!

Stephanie, Oct 2024
This tour was exactly what we wanted! We got to see all of the sites and doing this at night made this such a unique experience!

Perfect day one introduction to Rome

Sally_B, Oct 2024
We arrived in Rome jet lagged but excited to begin our vacation. Maria kept us entertained and informed as we toured the highlights of the heart of this beautiful city!

Our guide, Roberta, was engaging and informative. We were very pleased.

Ginger_M, Oct 2024
We got to see most of Rome and its rich history. Our guide was very knowledgeable about everything we were seeing, and was able to answer all our questions.

Great food tour!

JosephC_L, Sep 2024
Orso was a wonderful guide. We walked around Trastevere listening to him tell us about the neighborhood, culture, and cuisine. We sampled many different local foods and he gave us recommendations on places to eat, drink and have fun during the rest of our stay! We also spent time taking some pictures. I definitely recommend this tour!

Recommend Bado!

Andrij_K, Aug 2024
My wife and I was delighted to be greeted by a very charming, warm and welcoming guide. He brought the city alive with his interesting facts and method of delivery. We highly recommend his services to you all.

Awful experience - poor communicator - NOT recommended

George_K, May 2024
Experience was terrible Guide knew we wanted to see St Peters and he didn’t even know that we wouldn’t be able to go inside due to mass- also except for repeating the same comments about architecture he had very few interesting comments about Rome He also didn’t project his voice so only one couple could hear him He seemed to have a set of places to see and of the 4 things we wanted to see we only saw one and that one we didn’t go inside because he said the line was too long Overall the worst walking tour I’ve had anywhere

Response from Host, May 2024

Baddu is very polite, knowledgeable, helpful and kind. Easy to communicate and cheerful. He chose places that is must see for a new comer in Rome. He is highly recommended for a guide.

Great time walking through Rome

Rome à pied

Guide très sympathique et s'adapte aux clients. Connaît les coins et les recoins de la ville. Parfaite pour des français.

Parfaite première incursion à Rome en français!

Guy_L, Oct 2024
Merci à Maria Elena notre excellente guide qui nous a fait visiter les grands classiques Fontaine de Trevi, Place d’Espagne, Panthéon et plus, tout cela avec des explications pertinentes en français. Elle a su s’adapter à nos besoins et répondre à nos questions avec le sourire. Mon mari et moi sommes enchantés!
