I strongly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to discover more about the history of Rome and see some of the most beautiful corners of this amazing city! Marco was the perfect guide for this tour! He knows so many interesting facts about every place we visited, including some of the lesser-known spots, and it was really nice to discuss history and travel with him! I will definitely book another tour with him when I come back to Rome!!

We had an outstanding tour with Lorenzo. A group of 3 of us, two had visited Rome before and one was a first-timer. He covered things that made sure all three of us remained interested and made it a wonderful experience for everyone in 3 hours. Thanks again and would highly recommend Lorenzo!
This walking tour was very nice since we got to explore a different part of Rome with a wonderful guide, Anamarija, who is passionate about architecture. She also made an attempt to get to know us, to the effect that it felt like she was a distant cousin showing us around her favorite places in Rome.
Anamarjia was charming, knowledgeable, and an excellent guide. She made the experience fun and very interesting. I would definitely recommend her!
Had the ABSOLUTE best guide for this tour! Anamarija was incredibly friendly and so much fun to talk to. Learned quite a bit of history for the area as well! Would definitely recommend.
We had a great time exploring Rome with Anamarija. Her knowledge of the city’s architecture and history was genuinely impressive and added so much depth and context to everything we were seeing. And yet, the tour never felt overly formal. It felt more like being shown around the city by an old friend. Highly recommend!
Juli was amazing, she showed us some beautiful sights off the beaten path, and told some very interesting stories. At the end of the tour she gave us a color coded map with all kinds of recommendations for food, drinks, coffee, we got through a few and they were all very good! I would recommend this tour to everyone!
Luca was fantastic.He gave us the perfect mix of history and a real feel for Rome. By the end of the walk, we had a deep appreciation for the culture, architecture, and neighborhoods. This tour really covers everything!! 100% recommended.
My grandma and I spent a wonderful day with Marco, and it honestly couldn’t have gone better. We explored charming neighborhoods and quiet streets. Marco slowed everything down so my grandma could rest in a small square and enjoy the atmosphere so I really appreciated it . Marco was fun, knowledgeable, and totally on point at adapting the route to our walking pace. He walked us all the way back to our hotel so we wouldn’t get lost — ten out of ten for care and kindness.
Luca met us promptly and was extremely welcoming. Over the three hours we strolled along the narrow streets to reach all the key attractions while skipping the large crowds. Lucas was truly engaging, entertaining and well-informed throughout. Excellent tour and excellent guide!
Lorenzo customized every stop to match our interests, leading us to fascinating corners of the city. It was relaxed, well-paced, and full of insight. We ended the day with a list of amazing local restaurants far from the tourist crowds. Absolutely recommend both the experience and Lorenzo’s company. Grazie !
Fantastic experience with Marco! It was definitely one of the highlights of our time in Rome. His knowledge of the city and its landmarks was impressive, and the pace of the tour was just right. We couldn’t recommend it more!
My daughter and I had such a fantastic time exploring and chatting with Luca that the hours slipped away. We discovered so much about this fascinating city and would gladly recommend this tour and Luca to anyone visiting.
Great walking tour for a Rome City mini overview!! Daniel was awesome! His overall history knowledge & expertise was exceptional. He was very professional & courteous and took his time with our questions. He kept an eye on us to ensure our safety and that we weren't getting tired. Daniel ensured the tour was at our pace. He did an amazing job overall!! We did have a challenge in finding him once we were at the meeting location. But between Viator customer service team & Daniel we found each other!!
Alessandro greeted us right on schedule and immediately made us feel comfortable. Over three hours, he led us through charming side streets to the major landmarks, cleverly steering us away from the busiest crowds. He kept things lively with humor, insights, and fascinating stories. Truly a fantastic walk and an even better guide!
Enzo was a great guide showing parts of the city not commonly visited. Must do tour if your a first time visitor to rome
We had such a fascinating and informative morning with Daniele. He took us to so many spots we never would have discovered by ourselves. A truly charming and insightful guide, he made Ancient Rome feel vivid and alive. Guides like Daniele make a private tour very worthwhile. We enjoyed every single moment! Thank you!
Giulia was incredibly informed about every location we visited, and generously spent extra time showing us around. With deep knowledge of local history, food, and hidden corners, Giulia brought the city to life in a way we never could’ve experienced on our own. Absolutely nothing was too much trouble. I highly recommend this tour—Giu truly made our day unforgettable.
We didn’t know what to expect, but this tour turned out to be one of our favorite parts of the trip. We wandered through quiet streets and learned stories we’d never find in a guidebook. It didn’t feel rushed or scripted—just easygoing and full of little surprises. Felt like discovering the city with a local friend who really knows and loves Rome. Thank you Oratio!
I’ve been to Rome a few times, but this tour still surprised me. We visited spots I’d never even heard of, and the way the guide connected the past with everyday life in the city today made it all feel real and alive. Definitely worth it, even if you think you know Rome.
Moni was outstanding, knowledgeable, personable, and made our walking tour thoroughly enjoyable for everyone. He also shared excellent dining suggestions and showed us how to get around Rome. Every place he recommended exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend Local Cool Tour tour to anyone exploring Rome—especially early in your trip to get your bearings and valuable local tips. Grazie mile!
This one is highly recommended, Juan our guide was absolutely amazing in terms of knowledge and was able to show us Rome like nobody has before. It's worth every minute and every penny.
Claudio was very knowledgeable and accommodating.. he was flexible with the schedule but at the same time made sure we were able to see all the major sights. He spoke excellent English and we enjoyed discussing various topics with him. We would strongly recommend taking a tour with him if you want to exp Rome like a Roman 👍🙏🏻🇮🇹
Juan was a wonderful guide and tailored our trip to visit things we hadn’t seen and that we might miss if we weren’t with a local.
As first timers in Rome we had the best possible tour we could get. Giorgio was very passionate about his job and took the necessary time to explain as much as he could about this great city. This was of great help for the days that we spent in this ancient city
We had a blast on our Rome tour! The guide took us on a journey through time, from the Circus Maximus to the Tiber Island. We even learned about the "fake Coliseum" and ancient temples. For an authentic Roman experience, this tour is a must-try
It was our first day in Rome and this tour was a great choice. Our guide, Marco, took us on a fascinating journey through the ancient ruins. Every corner of the tour was full of stories that Marco told us in a fascinating and engaging way. A wonderful way to get to know Rome. Bravo Marco!!
