We had a wonderful walking tour of Rome with Islam! Our family of seven ended up enjoying a private tour, and he was fantastic. Knowledgeable, funny, and patient, he struck the perfect balance between fascinating historical facts and great photo opportunities that kept our three teenagers happy. He was also very accommodating, even stopping at a local coffee bar for a quick break. We especially appreciated his great local food recommendations to help us avoid the tourist traps during our stay! Islam made the experience fun and enjoyable for all ages. Highly recommend!

The building was originally called Porta Flaminia, but it is now officially known as Porta del Popolo. Pope Pius IV commissioned the famous artist Michelangelo to design it in 1562. However, Michelangelo delegated the task to the architect Nanni di Baccio Bigio who completed the construction in three years, and it was finished in 1565.
Dating back to 1723, the Spanish Steps are a series of steps that ascend a steep slope connecting the Piazza di Spagna at the base of the hill to the Piazza Trinità dei Monti at the summit. Even today, the Spanish Steps remain a popular attraction for artists, painters, and poets, just as they were in the past.
Trevi Fountain is an essential destination for anyone visiting Rome. Considered to be the most beautiful fountain in the world, it is a breathtaking sight to behold. The fountain's origins date back to 19BC when it was built as the endpoint of the Aqua Virgo aqueduct. The fountain we see today, however, was constructed during the Renaissance era under the guidance of Pope Nicolas V. The fountain's grandeur, intricate details, and awe-inspiring beauty make it a must-visit attraction for tourists and locals alike.
The Pantheon is one of the most remarkable ancient buildings in Rome, Italy. Constructed between 25 and 27 BC as a temple for pagan gods, it has stood the test of time and remains nearly intact to this day. The temple was completed by Hadrian in 126 AD, and since the 7th century, it has been used as a church dedicated to St. Mary and Martyrs. The Pantheon is a fascinating architectural feat, boasting a massive dome with a central opening called an oculus that allows natural light to filter in. Its impressive structure has influenced countless buildings over the centuries and is a must-see for anyone interested in ancient Roman history.
Piazza Navona is the quintessential elegant showcase square of Rome, replete with stunning fountains and baroque Palazzi. Its origins date back to the 1st century when it was known as the Stadio di Domiziano. However, by the 15th century, the site had been paved over and turned into a bustling marketplace, serving as the city's main commercial hub for nearly 300 years. Today, Piazza Navona stands as a testament to Rome's rich history and timeless elegance, drawing visitors from around the world to marvel at its architectural beauty and cultural significance.

Islam the tour guide was great took his time and made us all very comfortable, he was also extremely knowledgeable.
Our guide was very knowledgeable making the walk very interesting. There was so much history along the trip and her theology background allowed her to tie religion to the arts to the history.
This was a change of pace for us, since it was our first walking tour and our first night tour. Islam made it lively and fun from start to finish, and it ended up being one of the most memorable tours of our time in Rome. We wandered through the piazzas, past the Spanish Steps, and on to the Trevi Fountain, taking in the streets and stories that connect them all beneath the evening sky. Thank you, Islam, for making the night so special. Highly recommended!
Never showed up We were there at 530 waiting for a 630 tour. Never saw any Red Flags. 7 Popolo is a Police station.
Our tour guide, Wen was very knowledgeable, friendly, and an amazing tour guide. I would highly recommend her!
Had a great experience with Eslam on the walking tour. He was very knowledgeable about Italian history and was a pleasure learning from him.
Excellent tour! Tour guide was very knowledgeable and had us seeing Rome in its respectful era. Expect some walking but the pace was good even with the busy streets.
Islam was a great guide. He offered lots of information and kept it quick when the group wanted to speed things up. Very kind. Highly recommend!
Eslam is the best tour leader of our group. Recommend to take the tour with him.
It was a brilliant tour and our guide Islam was excellent, I would definitely recommend this tour. Fabulous.
Wen was a wonderful guide. You could not tell by her presentation that this was her second tour. Really enjoyed the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, Parthenon and Piazza Navona. Thank you for a great afternoon.
This was a concise walking tour with Andrea, who was a knowledgeable and energetic guide. Highly recommend.
Eslam the tour was the best tour guide ever and very informative he knows his history will definitely book again when in Rome
This tour was definitely the best tour that I can take in Rome. You will visit very important points of the city, and our tour guide was super knowledgeable and funny, his name was Islan. Highly recommend
I wasn’t able to make this tour because our other tour ran late and we parked too far away to drive in time or walk but I am giving this tour a 5 star because of their great communication prior to the tour and for contacting us when we were late.
I had a phenomenal tour of the city today. Eslam was vey thorough and accommodating. Went out of his way to show us everything and then some. Thank you for the fountain coins because I forgot mine. We will be back! All the best, thank you for making my first trip to Italy an amazing one. Ciao Eslam 🏛️👸🏻🇮🇹
Tour guide very helpful and informative. He texted us to ensure we found the meeting place and explained the sites’ history.
It’s a bit of a walk but lovely sights. The pantheon is beautiful at night and our tour guide was awesome!
Excellent tour of the main sights. Navid was very knowledgeable and catered the tour for us, when one of wasn’t feeling well. Much appreciated!
Excellent tour guide Andrea. She knew so much about the history behind every building that was on the itinerary. She's very patient & friendly. She'd answer any questions we had on the tour. Luckily we got the vip exclusive tour, which was nice. Definitely recommend doing this tour & if you lucky enough to get andrea you will be in great hands.

This tour provides an excellent historical perspective of Rome hitting some of the major sites. Eslam, our guide was excellent and thoughtful, accommodating our needs respectfully.
Eslam gave us a wonderful speech personal tour!!! The best!!!!
Andreea was superb! Good afternoon! I had a fantastic tour today! My tour guide is a historian and is sooo knowledgeable !! She could tell you stories about every single family in every building - how they got there and if there are still relatives living today! I absolutely loved it! Thank you!
Andrea was very knowledgeable about the history of the attractions. Trevi fountain was packed with people. We posed for pictures, but weren’t given the opportunity to throw a coin in. Saw the Spanish steps from across the street. We would have liked to be able to get some pictures of us on the steps. We probably should have spoken up, but none of the 4 on this excursion wanted to be rude. Again, our guide was great.
It became a private tour as the group I was to go with canceled. Islam, my guide was very knowledgeable. I would have hired him as a History teacher if I could. Thank you for a great tour.
