The Pantheon is a marvel of ancient Roman architecture and engineering. Originally built as a temple to the gods, it stands as a testament to the grandeur of the Roman Empire, with its iconic domed roof and perfectly preserved oculus, creating a breathtaking interplay of light and space within the structure.
The Trevi Fountain is a world-famous Baroque masterpiece located in the historic center of Rome, Italy. Renowned for its grandeur and intricate sculptures, the fountain depicts Neptune, surrounded by mythical sea creatures, and is celebrated for the tradition of throwing a coin over one's shoulder into the fountain, believed to ensure a return visit to the City.
Piazza Venezia is a bustling central square in Rome., featuring the imposing Altare della Patria (Altar of the Fatherland). Surrounded by notable landmarks such as the Palazzo Venezia and the Trajan's Column, the square serves as a major hub connecting several key roads in the historic city center.
The Altar of the Fatherland, also known as the Monumento Nazionale a Vittorio Emanuele II, is a colossal neoclassical structure located in Piazza Venezia, Rome. Built in honor of the first king of a unified Italy, Victor Emmanuel II, the monument serves as a symbol of national unity and is adorned with statues, columns, and a commanding equestrian statue of the king.
The Roman Forum, or Foro Romano, is an ancient archaeological site in the heart of Rome, showcasing the ruins of important government buildings, temples, and basilicas from the Roman Republic and Empire. As the political, religious, and commercial center of ancient Rome, the Forum offers a captivating glimpse into the city's rich history and architectural legacy.
The Colosseum, an iconic symbol of ancient Rome, is a colossal amphitheater situated in the city center. Commissioned by Emperor Vespasian in AD 72 and completed in AD 80, it once hosted gladiatorial contests, animal hunts, and public spectacles, standing as a remarkable testament to Roman engineering and entertainment prowess.

We took a tour with Chiara - she was very pleasant & very informative - liked the tour a lot & the guide / I recommend it & her
We took the From Jewish Ghetto to Trastevere – Discovering Rome’s Hidden Gems tour with Anya. The tour lasted about three hours. Anya was very kind and patient, with extensive and thorough knowledge of the places we visited. We enjoyed every moment! Thank you!
I would highly recommend Walkative tours if you're looking to get to know Rome. We had three excellent guides, one was Lisa, second was Camille and the third one was Laura. They were both very professional very knowledgeable and also very very pleasant people.
We’ve been to many walking tours around the world. This was the least interesting. Felt like a precious morning wasted as we are only here for 1 full day.
Great, informative tour. Tour guide, Chiara, was fantastic. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this to anyone wanting a tour of Rome’s key sights.
Skip the line tour is the best option. Otherwise you can end up queuing up to 5 hours during peak season.
We did the welcome to Rome tour! Anastasia was our tour guide and she was exceptional in her knowledge and communication. We admired her patience and professionalism. There were 7 of us from one family and another 2 who had signed up didn't show up. But she took us along with the same enthusiasm nonetheless. Also remarkable how accomodating she was to everyone's individual needs and speeds!! You made our day in Rome worthwhile Thank you Anastasia
The tour was nice and informative, but towards the end, I found out that there were people in the group who did not pay and opted for a donation instead. If you can find free walking tours, I would do that instead, especially as a college student trying to save money.
We chose the True Rome Tour – An Italian Dolce Vita to explore the lesser-known places and to learn about Rome's history and daily life of its inhabitants. We were 1 hour early at the Monument of Giuseppe Mazzini and spend some time enjoying the morning sun when waiting for our guide Laura. About 20 other participants joined and sat with us on the steps of the monument wondering when our guide would come. After a while I found a contact number of Walkative Rome and asked about the whereabouts of our guide. Allegedly, she had been on the street next to the monument and none of us had seen the bright yellow umbrella. Part of the group stayed another half an hour for Laura to come to the monument. The tour itself was underwhelming in our opinion. We would have liked more interesting landmarks instead of the closed rose garden and the biggest abattoir of its time which was not accessible because of renovations. Also, we struggled to find our way back to our accommodation as the finale area of the tour is not on the common map of the Rome centre area. Hopefully this feedback will help to improve this particular tour.
Like the last traveller who went on this Walkative! tour to the Jewish Quarter and Trastevere in Rome with Laura, we were absolutely delighted with our experience. It was so informative and interesting. Laura clearly knows a lot about the ancient and modern history of Rome, and it just made everything come to life. It was of the right length (slightly shorter than advertised), and we had enough time to absorb the views and take in the information. We would strongly recommend this tour.
