Wanted a more general talk about the history of Rome and it's streets then just visiting the big three. This tour delivered well. By the end we had walked through a lot of Rome and seen little corners we would never have come across otherwise. Particularly liked the old library with it's beautiful interior.
Simone is fabulous! This was the best tour we did in our 10 day Italy trip. He designed the perfect private tour for our family that included both famous highlights and the coolest hidden gems. He was funny, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable. He kept both old and young clinging to his every word. We would highly recommend him!
Thank you very much , your review is amazing! i wish you all the best

Simone enthusiastically catered a tour to our wishes and it was perfect. My kids loved him. We had an excellent time and I highly recommend him!
Grazie , i wish you all the best :) it was a fabulus tour
Simone is conscientious, energetic and proud of his City and gives you the utmost interest and show of the City. He will show you something out of ordinary and never expected part of the City. He doesn’t overdo it and wherever your interest lies in he will take you. The most important thing is that he makes you comfortable and enjoy the tour. Our four hours went very quickly and because of his enthusiasm I booked more hours for the next day. You won’t regret his tours! Thank you Simone!❤️
Grazie Cindi , i wish you all the best :) it was a fabulus tour
Of all our tours in Rome, this one was the best. Our small group of four felt like true Romans, walking the side streets of Rome to get to all the sites. Simone explained the history of this marvelous city and took us to some great places off the beaten path. Simone was very knowledgably, informative and patient. It is really refreshing to see someone who truly enjoys his work. We all had a great time.

Simone is a great guy, we turned up an hour late due to a mix up of address. He entertained myself and my two teenagers aged 14 and 18 for 2 hours with fun, interesting and stimulating history and info on Rome as well as taking us to some cool places. Bravo Simone!

The best part of the tour was Simone, our guide The combination of his deep historical knowledge, his passion for Rome and his all-round enthusiasm made for a memorable tour As we had already scheduled tours of the Colossuem, Palatine hill, The Forum etc and had been previously to the vatican, Sistine Chapelk etc, Simones " Hidden gems " tour filled in many " missing pieces of the jigsaw " and increased our knowledge and fascination with Rome considerably He also gave us nice food recommendations for different places
Grazie , i wish you all the best :) it was a fabulus tour
Simone was an excellent guide for myself and my toddler. Very patient with her, happy to help with the pram when she decided she wanted to be carried everywhere, and really brought the city to life. It’s a week later and she’s still talking about the ice cream and Roman fountains Simone introduced us to. Thank you!
Grazie , i wish you all the best :) it was a fabulus tour
We had Simone for the 90 mins tour and he was fantastic. He arrived on time and was easy to find, especially with the extra details he provided through the app. We chose to focus on the Trastevere and Jewish Ghetto areas and Simone even managed to show us a few other great sites and landmarks. Simone was incredibly friendly and kept great conversation with us the whole time. I would definitely recommend booking with him! Thank you Simone.
