Choose Simone for your walking tour of Rome - 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!❤️

Bravissimo Simone! - 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.

Our fun filled morning with Simone! - 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!

Walkimng tour of Rome's "Hidden gems " - 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

Family friendly - 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!

Great intro to Rome experience - 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.

A perfect day in Rome. - Thank you Simone for the wonderful walking tour in Rome! You’ve made it both very interesting and informative for our children 6 and 9 years old and us, adults. It was like a fascinating walk with a friend through his home city with funny stories and secret places with delicious food. Our little one is fan n1 of supplí now 😉

The best introduction to Rome - Doing this tour at the beginning of our trip was the best way to get acquainted with Rome. It put us in a perfect headspace to enjoy the rest of our time there. Simone was friendly, easy to talk to, knowledgeable and passionate about his city. He went out of the way to accommodate us helping us find a lunch spot after the tour and making several additional recommendations that improved our trip. I have since set up friends with his r and everyone has come back raving about him. Could not recommend enough.
