Our experience with Rome by Locals tour was excellent the guide was well-informed got us through the Colosseum in a good way so that my wheelchair did not interfere with other people we would certainly recommend that people use your service thank you again. We also used your services for the Vatican Museum And the Sistine Chapel. Franz was his name. Fantastic help! Thank you

By Bea W. (Vatican Tour)

Everyone in our family, adults and children alike, really enjoyed our two tours with Rome by Locals. Chiara brought the Coliseum and Forum to life for us all, with interesting pictures to show us what each area used to look like. Stephania gave us a great tour of the Vatican, pointing out things we would definitely have missed otherwise. Highly recommend.

By Veronica R. (Colosseum Tour and Vatican Tour)

We requested 3 tours for our family of 7. We specifically wanted something that was intimate and designed for just us- to have a personal experience where we would be submerged in the Roman culture and history, while at the same time having an open dialogue with the tour person. All our tours were amazing and the experience was top notch. I feel that we learned so much more having these personal tours than we would have using a large group tour company. One member of our family had some limited physical abilities and both tour guides were very accommodating. The experience will never be forgotten! Emanuele was extremely easy to work with on our bookings. He was very responsive, professional and just downright a joy to work with all around! Rome by Locals exceeded all expectations!

On our recent visit to Rome we rented an apartment near the Spanish Steps. The owner recommended using Rome by Locals for any tours we might be interested in. We could not have been more pleased with Cristina and the professional services we received during our stay. The company was in constant contact with me prior to our arrival and during our stay. They accommodated our wishes and made adjustments to scheduling due to one person in our party departing at a different time than the rest. We never felt rushed on our tours and Cristina was very knowledgable and provided a fun and educational environment for everyone in our party. I would highly recommend using Rome by Locals for any tours you may be interested in during a visit to Rome.

Rome by Locals has been an exceptional tour company organizing our Italian Family venture. We were a group of 12 people including kids and senior citizens and everything has been great and way more than expected. We really appreciate all the help Emanuele has given us at all times and really recommend this amazing tour company.

The wine tasting event that was provided was excellent! So much fun getting tastings from private reserves and hearing the history of wine. Food was also amazing- thank you!

By Mary D. (Wine and Food Tasting Dinner)

Our two tours booked through Marilla were awesome.  Our tour guides were very knowledgeable and pleasant.  I would highly recommend Rome by Locals to book your Italy fours.  They were very responsive and the rest of the members of my family (all 13) agreed.  Thank you for making our experience memorable.  I will see you in 2 years

We had a wonderful experience with Marilla from Rome by Locals! We booked a last minute private tour of the Colosseum and it was fantastic! We had a wonderful kid friendly guide and she made it spectacular. We have 2 children, 1 teenager, and 3 adults in our family and she kept everyone engaged! She was very kind and even gave us one of the best restaurant and gelato recommendation we had in Rome!. I wouldn't hesitate to use this service again! Thank you Rome by Locals for making Rome even more special than it already is!

By Gina and Rob DC (Borghese Gallery Tour)

We had two tours with Rome by Locals. Both were extraordinary. We did a tour of the Vatican with the Sistine Chapel (Alessandra) and a tour of the Borghese Gallery and Museum (Chiara). Both guides were very informative and well prepared for questions. They each had additional background information – both text and pictures. I had some physical limitations and both were very helpful and compassionate. A private tour is definitely the way to go. It was geared to our specific interests and at a pace that worked for us. Emanuele runs a thoroughly professional tour group – detailed information, transportation if needed, great communication and just a generally, kind person. She went out of his way to solve my transportation issues, and was cheerful. I can’t wait to go to Rome again and Rome by Locals will be the one I call.

By Christina K. (Vatican Tour and Borghese Gallery Tour)

We had 2 days of touring with Rome by Locals in May. It was outstanding in every way. Easy access to the sites and the tour guide was knowledgable and fun. I would highly recommend them for any excursion!

By Chris T. (Welcome to Rome Walking Tour and Vatican Tour)

Took the Trastevere Food Tour with Fabio today. It was amazing!! He has so much knowledge - took us to off the beaten path places for fabulous food and gave us lots of facts about the city and history. I would highly recommend this tour and Fabio as a guide.
