Itinerary
Walk through layers of history at the ancient emperors' forums and the grand Piazza Venezia, where ancient Rome, Renaissance Rome, and Napoleonic Rome all tell their story in one place.
Explore the outer forum and discover the mighty Trajan!
Undeniably one of Rome’s most romantic spots, the beautiful Fontana Di Trevi is the pinnacle of Baroque architecture. We'll spend around 30 minutes here, giving you time to throw coins, make wishes and visit our favourite gelato spot.
Discover one of Rome’s best-kept secrets as you step into this stunning 19th-century courtyard, adorned with vibrant Art Nouveau frescoes, elegant ironwork, and beautifully detailed paintings hidden in the heart of the city.
The Church of St. Ignatius of Loyola at Campus Martius is a Roman Catholic titular church, of deaconry rank, dedicated to Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Society of Jesus, located in Rome, Italy.
Pantheon Surrounded by rustic cobbled alleyways, the towering Pantheon (formerly a Temple, nowadays a church) seems to appear from nowhere. Built by Emperor Hadrian nearly 2000-years-ago, it remains to this day the largest unreinforced concrete dome in the world. We will pass by the Pantheon and explore the surrounding square, spending around 20 minutes here in total.
We finish on a high at the stunning and vibrant Piazza Navona - one of Rome’s most famous landmarks. Featuring three magnificent fountains and the classic Baroque church of Sant’Agnese in Agone. We’ll spend 20 minutes here before ending the tour - after which you can explore some of the many nearby bars and restaurants

My spouse and myself spend 14 days across Italy. Our experience with Dominica in Rome was hands down our favorite tour that we went on. She was incredibly personable, knowledgeable, and answered all of our questions. At the end of the tour she even sent us a list of her favorite places to eat afterwards. We hope that Dominica is available the next time we find ourselves in Rome. 10/10 would recommend.
This tour was amazing and a must see. Our tour guide was Csenge, who is an architecture student and knows everything there is to know about Roman architecture. It was such a treat to learn from her and chat about life in Rome.
Thank you, Erin! We're thrilled you enjoyed your private tour with Csenge — she’ll be so glad to know her passion for architecture made your experience special!
We really liked the tour trough the city with our guide. The facts and stories were interesting and we could get to know Rome better. We liked it very much.
Thank you! We’re so glad you enjoyed the tour and learned more about Rome’s fascinating history and stories.
Yusef was amazing! He was so informative and knew so much about all of the sites on our walking tour! He always found shady spots to stop and share info and was so helpful finding great photo ops! We thoroughly enjoyed our time with him and would highly recommend him as a guide!
So glad you had a fantastic time, Kaesi! Yusef will be thrilled to hear your kind words—thanks for recommending him!
A great way to start the trip, make sure you see the musts in the heart of Rome and stay awake- super crowded but our guide gave us a phenomenal recommendation for dinner where we have literally probably our best mean of the trip!
Thanks, Jenny! 🌟 We’re glad your first evening in Rome was memorable and that the guide’s dinner recommendation made your meal one of the best of the trip!
Kasia was a great tour guide. She was personable, funny, and had great knowledge. I highly recommend this tour if you have some free time and ask for her as your guide.
Thanks so much! We're happy you had a great time with Kasia — she's truly one of a kind! 😊 Glad you enjoyed the walk through Rome!
This wasn’t our tour but couldn’t find “Wonders of Rome walking tour” on drop down menu!! It was a group walk with only 5 of us in attendance which was super lucky! This was our first night and a fabulous introduction to central Rome. Many of the major sights covered and Mary, our guide, was super informative. She delivered the tour with enthusiasm, demonstrating great local knowledge. Two hours passed in a flash! We felt we had really been introduced to the city and gave us the perfect grounding upon which to base the rest of our wanders! Thank you, Mary!
Hi Alison, Thanks so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that your "Wonders of Rome" walking tour was such a fabulous introduction to the city, especially with your small group of five. It sounds like Mary was absolutely fantastic – we're delighted that her enthusiasm, local knowledge, and informative delivery made the two hours fly by and gave you the perfect grounding for your Roman adventures. We'll be sure to pass on your heartfelt thanks to Mary!
We had an incredible experience on our walking tour of Rome, all thanks to our guide, Dan. He was absolutely superlative—extremely knowledgeable, patient, and engaging throughout. Dan didn’t just recite facts; he brought the city's rich history to life with deep insights and fascinating stories that added so much context and meaning to every site we visited. His passion for Roman history was truly contagious, and he took the time to answer all our questions with care and depth. We left the tour with a much deeper appreciation for the Eternal City. Highly recommended!
Thank you so much! We're thrilled to hear you had such a meaningful experience with Dan. Your kind words truly mean a lot, and we hope to welcome you back to Rome soon!
Dan was great!! Insightful, easy going and with humor. 2.5 hours tour, it was Short and to the point 🤟 as an introduction to few days stay in Rome
Thank you for the great review! We're so glad you enjoyed your tour with Dan—insightful, fun, and the perfect intro to Rome. Hope the rest of your stay was just as amazing!
Our tour guide, Dan, was absolutely brilliant! He is incredibly knowledgeable, and we truly enjoyed all the fascinating details he shared with us. What made the experience even more special was the personal, local perspective he brought to the tour, the sights we have seen thanks to him, it really added something unique. We genuinely appreciated his expertise and the time he took with us and you should go for it with Dan. Without a doubt, we would love to reach out to him again when we return to Rome. He’s THE BEST.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Ana! We're thrilled to hear that Dan made your Rome experience so memorable with his knowledge and local insights. It’s always special when a guide can bring a personal touch to the tour. We’d love to welcome you back for another adventure with Dan!
