See the Spanish Steps and cool off with the spray of the Trevi Fountain. In the Vatican you will have a walk along the main square. The guide will tell you about the history of the city and tell its legends. And he will tell you where else you can go in search of impressions.
Through Rome with the breeze
Some people think that seeing all the iconic sights of Rome is like embracing the immensity. It is indeed very difficult to do this on foot, but by car it is quite possible! In addition, during such a walk you will certainly not only find it interesting, but also fun and comfortable! After all, what could be better than getting to know the Eternal City with the breeze, through an open car window, making stops in the most interesting places? An experienced guide will be happy to help you see everything, or almost everything.
The route will pass not only past well-known mast-sees - the Colosseum, the Spanish Steps, the Imperial Forums ... (the list, of course, does not end there), but also other, less well-known, but no less interesting architectural masterpieces - the Villa Borghese, Piazza del People, Hadrian's Bridge and so on. If you are traveling as a couple and want to immerse yourself in an atmosphere of romance and love, inform your guide about this in advance. It will change the route slightly and the luxury car will stop not only in the above places, but also in the beautiful Orange Grove, as well as the Monte Mario quarter.
Private morning tour of the Vatican and Castel Sant'Angelo area
Early in the morning the Vatican is fresh and quiet. At this time, it seems that he is revealing his secrets to you personally. So let's go for a walk through its most beautiful areas between St. Peter's Cathedral and Castel Sant'Angelo. Ancient squares and quarters, St. Peter's Cathedral and Castel Sant'Angelo await you. After a classic Italian breakfast, your guide will tell you about the history of the Vatican. And he will tell you what to pay attention to while walking.
The Vatican is a state in a city. And the central place in it is occupied by St. Peter's Basilica. Raphael and Michelangelo had a hand in its creation. Therefore, the cathedral is not only the largest Christian temple, but also a cultural monument. We invite you to visit it in the company of an experienced guide. You will walk through the majestic halls, look at a fragment of the Life-Giving Cross. You will learn the myths and legends of this place. And then you can send a postcard home with the Pope's stamp.
Gastronomic excursion “Tasty Rome” (from 2 people)
Guests of the city will be treated to a real tour of the Magical Roman Gastronomy. The kingdom of heady Italian wines, the kingdom of aromatic cheeses, the Smoked Meat Quarter, the Square of Excellent Ham... The names alone whet your appetite. This is not another Rome, this is the city that only locals know. Tourists are invited to take a walk through the best shops in the capital, where they sell only fresh products.
The tour will combine a visit to the Jewish Ghetto with a tasting of fine wines in the best enotecas in Rome. Travelers can sample traditional Roman cuisine by visiting local taverns, some of which are over 300 years old. The secrets of the secret places where the Romans themselves eat will be revealed to them. 2.5 hours are allocated for exploring the quarter, visiting 3 establishments and tasting, which is paid separately, which will definitely be remembered.
See Rome and fall in love
The first acquaintance with Rome can give a lot of positive emotions and vivid impressions, or it can only bring disappointment. To prevent the latter from happening, it is better to discover the Italian capital accompanied by an experienced guide who will help you understand the intricacies of the streets and the endless series of must-see attractions. By the way, identifying the main ones is also not an easy task, and an inexperienced tourist may simply not be able to cope with it.
During the sightseeing walk you will see the Colosseum, Piazza Venice, from the balcony of one of the buildings of which the famous Mussolini spoke, the Pantheon, Piazza Navona, Piazza di Spagna and Popolo, the Trevi Fountain, where the famous Marcello Mastroianni, or rather his film hero, swam. By the way, many tourists are interested in whether his feat can be repeated. The answer to this question can also be found out during the excursion. To ensure that the walk does not turn into a continuous educational program with dates and facts, several stops will be made during which you can try ice cream, coffee and tiramisu, as well as talk with the guide in an informal setting and ask him any questions you may have.
Eternal Rome
A tour of the city that survived the Etruscans, Ithacans, Visigoths and many others offers a chance to touch history itself and feel the breath of times. It is not for nothing that Rome is called the Eternal City. The Italian capital has preserved many monuments of antiquity: the Colosseum, which is strongly associated with Rome, this time will give way to the temple of all gods - the Pantheon and the Mausoleum of Hadrian, which during its existence has turned into a museum.
Another association is the dwarf state-city of the Vatican, where many historical and cultural sites are located on an area of less than 0.5 km2. Some of them have long become the hallmark of the city, like St. Peter's Cathedral with the square laid out in front of it. In addition to this, the route will also include Narodnaya, Spanish and Navona Square. The Castle of St. Angel, shrouded in legends, will not be left without attention. If the walk takes place on Sunday, tourists will have the chance to see the Pope blessing the people in the square.
Gate to Gate: Rome City Tour
This excursion in Rome in Russian is for those who want to see the classical city, learn about the history of the Italian capital, and get acquainted with the traditions that have formed over hundreds and even thousands of years. In 3 hours you will not only see the main attractions, but also understand, through the prism of time, what influenced the views, lifestyle and thoughts of modern residents of the Eternal City.
The route will begin at the San Giovani Gate, which was once the south-eastern entrance to the fortress, and will end at the Northern Gate. And between them, guests will find the Colosseum, the Trevi Fountain, the Spanish Steps, and many other attractions. An excellent addition for those who are planning to continue exploring Rome on their own will be a story about the modern life of the capital - transport, museums, rules of behavior, traditions, and so on. Having such information, it will be much easier to navigate and discover more and more new corners of the Eternal City.
Trip to Naples and Pompeii with lunch
Even those who have never been to Italy know what the ancient city of Pompeii looked like. We suggest comparing the original with the painting by Karl Bryullov. You will see the city, piece by piece restored by archaeologists. But first, a trip to the homeland of pizza, masquerades and the Italian mafia awaits you. You will look at Naples from the bus window and then explore on foot. At the end of the tour you will enjoy pizza, wine and dessert.
Another Rome - add to the list of favorite places in the capital
If your first acquaintance with the Eternal City has already taken place, but you want to continue discovering it for yourself, accompanied by an experienced guide, then the best option is to go on a tour of Another Rome. You will visit places far from the tourist routes. Many travelers leave without knowing about their attractiveness and believing that they have completed the excursion program in full. In fact, you can discover Rome endlessly; it will always surprise and twinkle with more and more new facets.
So, the “other” route will begin from the very hill where Romulus and Remus chose the place to found the Eternal Capital, watching the flight of birds. Today there is a beautiful panorama from here. In addition, you will be able to visit Orange Park, one of the first forums, the Jewish ghetto and other places that are not written about in guidebooks. Many amazing facts will open before you. For example, have you ever guessed that in the Italian capital there is a place where through the keyhole you can spy on the life of three states at once? And these are not all the surprises that you will discover while walking through the “other” Rome.
Walking sightseeing tour in a mini-group (from 2 people)
Tourist Rome with the most famous attractions: the Trevi Fountain, Piazza Navona and Venezia, the Pantheon and the Capitol, and non-tourist Rome with lovely courtyards hidden behind the fortress walls, crooked streets and typically Roman details - objects of an excursion that is suitable for both beginners and those in Been to Rome before. The route will include such controversial architectural structures as the Vittoriano monument, which was intended to be a rival to the Colosseum. This unusual complex consists of a columned portico that houses museums.
The roof of the building, where one of the best observation platforms is hidden on the historical center of the capital, is crowned with 2 chariots of the goddess of victory. And in front of the building there is an equestrian statue of the first king of Italy. Another extraordinary place in Rome is Largo Argentina, which will be the next point on the route. During the settlement here, fragments of 4 temples were found. This strange place, so beloved by local cats, is also considered the alleged murder site of Julius Caesar.
All of Rome in a few hours
Of course, it is impossible to see all of Rome in a few hours - unless you go up to bird's eye view. But learning to navigate fairly well in its central part in order to continue acquaintance in the future is very possible. Especially if you are accompanied by an experienced guide during your first walk. The route will pass by the beautiful squares of Navona, Venice and Spain, the Colosseum, the Imperial Forums, the Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon and other attractions included in the list of the very best by all guidebook authors.
However, do not think that the excursion will be limited only to boring dates and historical facts. Guests who go for a walk will have the opportunity to look at the Eternal City through the eyes of Michelangelo and Karl Bryullov, follow the path of Nikolai Vasilyevich Gogol, drinking a cup of coffee in his favorite coffee shop and, of course, get acquainted with practical information about the modern life of the city.
Group walking tour "Secrets of the Vatican"
One of the most mysterious places in the world is located in the center of Rome. A shrine for millions, an autonomous state, a “city within a city”, the largest archive of secret documents from evidence of the real life of Jesus and the possible location of the Holy Grail to assistance to the Nazis - the Vatican is unknowable. Tourists will only be able to reveal some of its secrets, but everyone will be able to appreciate its splendor. In 3 hours they will see some of the Vatican museums (there are more than 25 in total), where famous works of art and masterpieces collected by popes are kept.
Tourists will admire the dance of the columns decorating the square in front of the famous St. Peter's Cathedral, under which the tomb of Jesus' disciple Peter is supposedly located. Those who enter will be presented with Michelangelo’s Pieta, copies of which are found in many churches. The unique frescoes of Botticelli, Perugino and Rosselli will attract the attention of visitors to the Sistine Chapel for a long time, as will Michelangelo’s “Last Judgment”.
Secret Rome
Rome is not only the Colosseum, the Imperial Forum and other “must see” indicated in guidebooks. Even if you have already studied all these objects, you can always continue your acquaintance and discover a few more “secret” places that, as a rule, are not written about in guidebooks. The most surprising thing is that most of them are located in the center, literally a stone's throw from popular tourist routes.
A walk through “secret” Rome will begin where all Russian travelers in the 19th century were required to “check in”. And then... there are many interesting facts to learn. For example, what are Roman artichokes and how do they differ from any others? Where is the very first orange tree in Italy located? What adventures and misunderstandings happened to the metro builders in the Eternal City. How an Egyptian pyramid built in the 1st century BC ended up in Rome (this is not a joke, it really exists!). The list can be continued for quite a long time. This excursion is not just a collection of historical facts and boring dates. This is a fascinating walk through a completely different Rome, which you never even knew about before. By the way, this is exactly how Brodsky saw him in his works (we will also talk about this).
All of Rome in 1 day (from 2 people)
The history of this city goes back almost 3 millennia, and you can explore it in just 5 hours. An overview of the Italian capital includes visits to iconic places: the ancient Colosseum, the majestic Roman Forum, the largest Trevi fountain, the Capitoline Hill, where 3 staircases lead, one of which brings good luck in the lottery. During a walk around the city, tourists will see 6 squares, the most famous of which is People's Square, the most beautiful is St. Peter's, and Torre Argentina is an archaeological site.
Among the fountains, the undoubted favorite of tourists is the hallmark of Rome - Trevi, where you can make a wish for the future by throwing a certain number of coins into the water. In addition, travelers are invited to solve the riddle of 4 turtles on the fountain of the same name and admire the Barcaccia fountain. The Jewish ghetto, the Castle of St. Angel, the Papal Palace, the Church of the Holy Virgin, the portico of Octavia and much more can be included in the excursion if desired and if there is enough time.
Trastevere - the real spirit of Rome
Rome has many faces and diversity. Tourists mainly study its central part, located on one of the banks of the Tiber, and do not even realize that on the other there is a beautiful colorful quarter of Trastevere. Its history began in ancient times, during the time of Emperor Augustus. Gradually, the political and economic significance of Trastevere was lost, but local residents managed to preserve the authenticity and medieval (and perhaps earlier eras) flavor. Narrow winding streets, cozy coffee shops, the aroma of homemade pizza and laundry on lines thrown between houses facing each other. All this can be seen here today.
The walk starts from Trilussa Square. In two hours you will not only get lost through the winding streets, but also get to know many interesting basilicas. For example, Santa Maria in Trastevere, the square in front of which has long been chosen by street musicians and artists. The excursion will end on the island of Tiberina, which in 293 BC was “used” for medical purposes. Today it houses the Fatebenefratelli Hospital.
Group sightseeing tour “Rome at 15:15”
A 2-hour promenade through the Italian capital will give you a general idea of the Eternal City and introduce you to both famous and non-tourist places. Travelers can visit the Campo di Fiori square, full of restless souls, where Giordano Bruno was executed. There is even more mysticism in Piazza del Bocca del Verità, where travelers will see a medieval lie detector - the Mouth of Truth.
People usually miss the Piazza Minerva, in the center of which there is an obelisk mounted on the back of an elephant, which the locals call a pig. Behind him is the monastery where Galileo was forced to abandon the heliocentric system. The rest of the guide will guide city guests along a route that includes the main attractions. Tourists will see the Pantheon, unchanged over millennia, the Capitol with palaces, squares and temples, the Trevi Fountain and Piazza Navona.
Haunted Rome
There are many legends and myths associated with Rome. If you believe them, then after sunset, with the onset of twilight and silence, a huge number of spirits and ghosts appear on the streets. You can “get to know” them during an unusual three-hour excursion. A walk will begin near the Vatican, where the spirits of many Popes and even Julius Caesar “live” to this day. Some local residents claim to have seen them, more than once. Who knows, maybe you will be lucky enough to “meet” one of them. The route will then pass through the area of Borgo Pio, Piazza Navona and Piazza di Spagna.
There are a huge number of legends and stories associated with the houses and people who lived on these streets! If fear takes over you completely, you can go to a cafe and drink a cup of coffee in order to relax and again plunge into the world of mysticism, riddles and secrets. For an additional fee, you can not only stroll through the city streets, but also visit an aristocratic haunted apartment. A glass of champagne on the veranda will be a pleasant addition to scary stories.
Walking through Ancient Rome (group walking tour)
“As long as the Colosseum exists, Rome will exist,” said a chronicler in the 7th century. A visit to this iconic place, as well as the no less significant Roman Forum, is part of the 2-hour tour.
During the walk, city guests will learn about the greatness of the Roman Empire, grandiose plans and bold achievements. The story of treacherous and wise senators, great commanders, brave gladiators will be intertwined with legends and even gossip.
Tourists will be invited to explore the Black Stone, under which the tomb of Romulus is supposedly located, the starting point of the Golden Mile distances and the door to the afterlife - the Navel of the Earth. The route includes the Mamertine prison, where the apostles Peter and Paul whiled away the last hours of their lives, bringing a happy life to the newlyweds, the Arc de Triomphe, etc. The tour includes a visit to the majestic Colosseum, which is guarded on earth by the ghosts of the gladiators who died here. According to legend, the underground guard is a huge basilisk that feeds on blood.
Around Rome by tram
If you are already familiar with all the must-sees of Rome, but you don’t want to stop there and want to continue exploring the city, then you can go on a very unusual excursion - an alternative to walking, driving and busing - by tram. During such a trip you will see many corners and neighborhoods that, as a rule, remain beyond the sight of tourists. Sometimes it seems that they are so different that they simply cannot “get along” in the same city. But the guide will be happy to tell you how this is possible, and also introduce you to the features of each of them.
The route starts in the beautiful park of Villa Borghese. Even before the meeting, you can stroll along the elegant alleys, admire the exquisite fountains and take a few photos for memory. There is a tram stop nearby, from which you will set off. The first “respite” will be in the Coppede quarter. Do you know a lot about the architectural styles of Liberty, Art Deco and Baroque? If the latter is quite typical for Italy, then many will discover the first two for the first time.
Next, from the tram window you will see the elite Parioli district with its luxurious residences. Next stop is San Lorenzo. It’s impossible to pass by its streets with improvised paintings on the walls, performances by artists and other attributes of street art. After getting to know modern Rome, the tram will take you to ancient areas and then return you to the present. And the unusual route will end at the walls of the Colosseum, where, in fact, all the tram tracks lead.
Secret Rome: Trastevere and Ghetto Guided Tour
Tourists are offered a break from the overwhelming scale and grandeur of the creations of the Roman Empire in 2 colorful areas. The first, in addition to the name Trastevere, preserved from the Etruscans, is known for its unique lively atmosphere. A walk through this quarter with narrow streets will give you views of the most ancient church of St. Mary, the beautiful Villa Farnesina, Trilussa Square and beautiful fountains. Travelers will walk along the street. Lungaretta, which is from the 16th century. served as the largest road. Along it there were taverns, which have now been replaced by cafes and restaurants.
A tour of the second district will remind you that the oppression of the Jewish people did not begin with Hitler. This is the famous Jewish ghetto, where for a long time residents had to build on their houses, because... it was impossible to expand the quarter. Travelers can see the synagogue, the Portico of Octavia and the Theater of Marcellus, visible from all parts of Rome.
Walking through unknown Rome
Sometimes it seems that guidebooks describe every centimeter of Rome. Actually this is not true. Even in the central part of the city there are many interesting places that remain outside the usual routes. Finding and “discovering” them on your own is quite difficult. But accompanied by a guide, it’s quite possible. Few people realize that the Circus Maximus is not just a building, but a real ancient hippodrome that deserves close attention. This is where the route through unknown Rome will begin. Next, you have to perform a small tourist feat - climb the Aventine Hill and understand how much those who do not reach this beautiful place are missing.
You will have to go down the hill in a different direction - to the Tiber embankment. The next point on the program is a small church in which the Mouth of Truth is kept - something like an ancient lie detector. The excursion will end in the colorful Trastevere district, which is famous not only for its narrow winding streets, but also for its famous residents. For example, it was here that the house of Raphael’s beloved was, and still is, located.
Underground of Rome
Those who want to discover a “different” Rome can go on this unusual and very exciting excursion - through the Garbatella quarters, which are reminiscent of both Neapolitan quarters and a holiday village, and informal Ostiense, where factory buildings coexist perfectly with modern street art. Garbatella is a place reminiscent of a movie set. Indeed, Italian cinema very often shoots here. After all, local residents are real aesthetes. Each courtyard resembles a flower bouquet. It feels like it was specially removed before your arrival. It’s hard to even believe that this is a typical building of the 1930s.
The lack of iconic attractions is more than compensated for by the color of the streets, the comfort of cafes and the lack of tourists. Ostiense, just a few decades ago, was a gloomy, unremarkable industrial district. Everything changed after local authorities came up with the idea to “revive” it by organizing a street art festival. Thus, the walls of the factories were decorated with unusual modern paintings, which you can get acquainted with during this unusual excursion.
Vatican Museums and St. Peter's Basilica
Art is something without which it is simply impossible to imagine Italy. You can start getting acquainted with it in different places, but it’s difficult to find a better one than the Vatican Museums. Visiting them is a kind of tourist feat, because the duration of the galleries is no less than 7 kilometers. And this despite the fact that if you decide to visit them on your own, without a guide, you will first have to stand in line for several hours for tickets. It should be noted, not the best way to spend time.
So, what awaits guests at the Vatican Museums? First of all, unique collections of ancient art, tapestries, works by Raphael (he painted several rooms). And, of course, the opportunity to see the legendary Sistine Madonna. The next item on the program is a visit to St. Peter's Cathedral. Its decoration and grandeur will surely amaze even those who are completely far from religion. By the way, this is where the only sculpture by Michelangelo is located, which the author personally signed.
Colosseum and Roman Forum
The Colosseum and the Roman Forum are the greatest monuments not only of Rome or Italy, but of the whole world. In order to learn about the past of the Eternal City, you certainly need to get acquainted with their history. Of course, this can be done on your own by studying the mountains of literature, but it is much easier to visit them accompanied by a guide who will fascinatingly talk about the past, present and even future of the ancient heritage. The first point of the program is an open-air museum, the Roman Forum. Of course, the surviving ruins are only a small part of what was built in antiquity. However, by “connecting” your imagination, you can easily imagine the scale.
The next point is the most famous arena in the world, the Colosseum. It's hard to believe, but its age is more than 2000 years. Over the years, it experienced ups and downs, becoming either an “imperial stage” or a quarry. There were other periods, which, as well as the secret ones kept by the Colosseum, the guide will be happy to tell you about. And finally, the last point on the program is the Triumphal Arch of Constantine, about which there is also a lot of interesting things to learn. It seems that there are not many points in this program, but, believe me, it is quite enough for the first acquaintance with Ancient Rome - there is a huge amount of information to be obtained.
Vatican Museums - the history of masterpieces and the “mirror” of eras
You can turn the pages of the history of Rome and Italy by getting acquainted not only with architectural sights, but also with works of art. An experienced guide will help you not to get lost in time and space while traveling through the Vatican Museums and discovering more and more masterpieces. The excursion route will take you through the galleries of the Papal State. During the walk you will get to know the works of Raphael, Michelangelo and other famous masters.
Hello!
My name is Vlad, a private guide in Rome and its surroundings. For 10 years now I have been fascinated by this amazing city. Sometimes it even seems to me that fate was destined for me to live here, regardless of the place of my birth. After all, we even have the same birthday - April 21 (traditionally, the date of the founding of Rome is considered to be April 21, 753 BC), adjusted for age, of course.
I work in the film industry and have two degrees, but I'm still learning. I’m learning to notice beauty in small things, to enjoy every day, new interesting acquaintances, and the work of a guide helps with this like no other.
I am fond of horse riding, so I am one of the few guides in Rome who conduct horseback riding excursions.
In a word - I will be happy to meet you in Rome, show you its gloss and facade - luxurious sights, squares, churches, which, of course, cannot be missed in the “Eternal City”, and also help you look into his soul and see how he lives, what breathes, what wonderful people live here!
Rome, without exaggeration, is one of the most interesting and oldest cities on the planet, existing for almost three thousand years. Each era has left its mark on the appearance of an extraordinary city - in Rome you will find architectural and artistic ensembles created in ancient times, the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.
“All roads lead to Rome,” ancient travelers rightly believed.

Hello! My name is Vita.
I have been living in Rome for ten years, I love it and know it inside and out. I have always been interested in history, legends and art history.
Once in this city, I realized that this is “mine”. She received a diploma from the Rome State Institute named after C. Columbus, and in November 2014 she completed an 80-hour course for archaeologists, historians and art historians “Romaelazioperte”. These were walking routes and lessons through the streets, churches, catacombs and little-known sights of the Eternal City. Every day, discovering something new in Rome, on the other hand, I understood how much unknown and mysterious this city has to offer. How else...
Guy Julius Caesar and Cleopatra, Napoleon and Mussolini, the apostles Peter and Paul, Nero and Mark Anthony, the Popes of the Borgia and Medici dynasties lived here. Here in Rome, gladiators fought to the death in the arena of the Colosseum, 6,000 slaves of Spartacus were executed on the Appian Way after the first slave war in the 1st century BC, the Holy Apostles were executed, and the Holy Inquisition was established in the 16th century.
In different eras, Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, Bramante and Lorenzo Bernini, Raphael and Caravaggio, and many, many others worked in Rome.
How to understand the interweaving of eras and styles, legends and historical facts?
How not to miss the most important things and, most importantly, make it in time for a couple of days of vacation?
I, a Russian-speaking guide in Rome, will take you “by the hand” to all the most interesting places, answer all your questions, and will be happy to help in all organizational matters.
See you!
My name is Elizaveta.
A little about me: Originally from Nizhny Novgorod, I graduated from the Linguistic Institute of Foreign Languages, where I taught Italian and regional studies of Italy, and also worked as a translator, including simultaneous, in a variety of directions, until I moved to the country of my dreams to study history. and archeology at the State University “La Sapienza”... In recent years I have been living and working in Rome, where the prime meridian of the ancient world is located. In ancient times they said: “All roads lead to Rome,” and you too can make it a convenient starting point for your acquaintance with Italy.
In the past, I am also a foreign correspondent journalist for the Nizhny Novgorod publications “Birzha + Career” and some others, and I still enjoy writing on topical topics that interest me.
Some of my photographs are posted on the website of the famous travel guide Lonely Planet.
No wonder the Japanese said: “if you love your job, you will never work a day in your life.” I try to offer you what I like: nature (sea, mountains, volcanoes), sports (trekking, diving, horse riding), gastronomy, photography. But the biggest hobby that I share with you is travel and tourism.
