“THE BEST WAY TO GET A REAL FEEL OF ROME”
Step into Rome’s “Lasagna of History”…
Why “lasagna of history”?
Rome has been continuously inhabited for more than two thousand years. As centuries passed, new streets, houses, churches rose above the ancient city, leaving traces of earlier Rome hidden just beneath today’s surface. The city evolved through continuous layering — much like a lasagna of history. And during our underground Rome tours, we’ll help you decipher these layers. In places like Trastevere or Piazza Navona, the modern city stands directly atop the ancient one. The entire Piazza Navona sits above a massive Roman stadium where athletic competitions once took place nearly two thousand years ago. As soon as you step below street level, it instantly feels like traveling back in time. This is where ancient Romans came to watch their favorite athletes, enjoy the spectacle, and create memories of their own — much like we do today when we attend an event.
This is the kind of discovery that can only happen in a place like Rome.
Now put on some comfy shoes, we’ve got some amazing things to show you.

What nitty gritty details are still holding you back?!
Who are we?
To our guests, we’re local friends in Rome. We specialize in small-group tours of no more than 12 people, exploring iconic neighborhoods and connecting key landmarks with the hidden gems of Rome. Our tours are not packed, not rushed, and not stuck in tourist spots — because this is how we’d show Rome to our best friend.
I think tours are boring, why these shouldn't be?
We understand why you say this, we’ve all seen these big groups passively following a flag. We completely rethought the way an experience is run. We focus a lot on the stories because that’s what moves you and what you’ll remember after your trip (let’s face it, nobody remembers all the names and dates!). We share fun anecdotes and local curiosities without dwelling on academic frills. Also, we strive for interacting with you during the experience as much as you want. We want you to feel as if you were walking around Rome next to a friend!
You can see our approach first hand from the content we share everyday with our community
What are we going to do - just walking around?
We’ll walk through thought-out itineraries and share with you the exciting stories and details you wouldn’t discover on your own. We like to give our personal touch and experience and so we’ll also share aspects of the daily life and customs in Rome that you don’t find in the guidebooks.
Is it a small group?
We exclusively go in groups of no more than 12 people. That’s important for us because we want you to feel free to interact with us as much as you want. In a small group that feels less intimidating and it’s much more fun. As we said, we don’t like flags to follow 😉
What if I just read a travel book or listen to an audio guide?
Sure you could read or listen to different guides about Rome, but it’s like practicing fitness with books or podcasts versus a personal trainer 😜
Unfortunately I can't come to Rome anymore, how can I cancel my booking?
You can cancel your semi-private tour up to 24 hours before the start time of the experience (free of charge, with a full refund). In case of a private tour, you can cancel up to 7 days before its start time (free of charge, with a full refund).
