Our guide was very knowledgeable and passionate and her Catholic faith and history. She really made the tour very special.

We did two private tours with Walks Inside Rome - the Colosseum/Forum and the Vatican/Sistine Chapel and both were first rate. The guides - Domenico in the Forum and Sara at the Vatican - were polite, professional and knowledgeable and tailored a multi-lingual/multi-generational tour that satisfied everyone's ability and energy level. Both guides were also recognized by the local security professionals at each site allowing us to expedite our entrances/transit through security. We couldn't have been happier with the way each tour transpired. In addition, there was excellent communication with the WIR staff via WhatsApp - from reservation to tour completion - that walked us through reserving the appropriate tours, touching base several days prior to the tour kickoff, and being available and responsive as we connected with the guides at each site. Hands down the WIR tours were the highlight of our trip.

Me, a friend and our two 10 year old boys had an amazing time recreating the gladiator battles with our tour guide, Vincenzo. He was so knowledgeable and kept the kids excited the entire time. Unfortunately, we didn't get to see the underground, but it was still great. We did a more expensive private tour, and didn't have to wait in any lines.

Our experience with Walk Inside Rome is excellent! We are very satisfied with all of our activities that WIR arranged. If it wasn't the heat, my kids and families would have enjoyed it even more.

First on Day 1, I enjoy how our guide Gioia did the Treasure Hunt with the kids that drew their attention at first, but since the walking and the heat distracted them, they lose interest soon. However, I personally enjoyed how she explained things in the museum.

Day 2, the kids loved the cooking class with chef Sara. It was a lot of hands on experience to prepare an authentic Italian meal themselves. Other than the price tag, we absolutely enjoyed the cooking class.

Day 3, the underground experience at the Colosseum was great. Glad that we were able to explore the behind the scene there and learned more stories about how the Roman's operated the fights back then. Our guide Cristina was great about explaining all the details to us and she brought the books to explain to the kids which my son really engaged. I super appreciated the fact that Cristina is a teacher and know how to talk to kids.

All the skip lines to the sites really worth it. Can't imagine if we needed to wait for hours to get inside under this heat.

We had a phenomenal tour of the Vatican, exclusive access to the Sistine Chapel, and then of the Colosseum and Forum with Maria Daga. We have visited the Sistine Chapel a few times before, including another early access, and this visit with our family was really outstanding thanks to Maria and Irina. They were extremely knowledgeable, and Maria in particular was engaging, flexible, and knowledgeable enough to adjust her content to each person in our small group. We had great access, weren’t rushed, and plenty of time to take in the best parts of the Sistine Chapel and Vatican. Maria was a real treasure….I’d ask for her and would highly recommend!!

We had an amazing experience with Marina after our breakfast (post Sistine Chapel tour with Irene) touring St. Peter's Basilica, the Coliseum and Roman Forum. Marina was so knowledgeable and guided us throughout the church, pointing out things we never would have picked up on during the route. We got to the coliseum and it was a hot day so she effortlessly kept us in the shade while still explaining the history, and ins and outs of the magnificent coliseum. She answered all our questions, took many photos, and kept us engaged despite the June weather in Rome being hot and dry! 100/100 would recommend - thank you Marina for a great time and showing us a piece of Rome's great history!

We toured the Vatican early morning with Irene and can I say that this experience was SO well worth it. Our family of 7 had the entire Sistine Chapel and galleries leading up to it basically to ourselves! Made it so special and such that we could truly take every fresco and painting in without the overwhelming pressure of 'moving on to the next one' with hundreds of people surrounding us. The Sistine Chapel is a once in a lifetime experience, with so much history and so this tour is truly not one to be missed!! 100/100 would recommend the investment.

We have done several tours with Walks Inside Rome over the years and each one has been fantastic. This year we took the Ostia Antica tour with fabulous guide, Barbara. She was so passionate about the site and Roman history. In 20+ years of visiting Rome I’ve never had the history all brought together the way she did. Throughout the tour we learned so much about Ostia and life there, but she also taught us how to read the symbolism and the colors in Roman art wherever we find it so we can understand more. She took extra time with us, seeing how enthralled we were with everything. I wish I could give this tour and Barbara more than 5 stars, because it truly exceeded any expectation. My husband works in logistics and he had always wanted to see this. After years of waiting, we felt we not only saw Ostia, but experienced it and we’re able to step into Roman life for a little while that morning. Barbara also pointed out the charming borgo inside the castle walls right outside the archaeological site. We had a wonderful meal in the peaceful place, surrounded by smiles and flowers. It was an unforgettable day that I would recommend to anyone. If the crowds of the city are too much for you, go to Ostia and you’ll experience a city incredibly preserved with wildflowers growing amid its ruins. Highly, highly recommend!!

Thank you so much, Barbara and Walks Inside Rome!

This was my wife’s and I’s first time in Rome and our first time experiencing a private personal tour with priority entrance. Our tour was on June 8, 2023.
This is the way to see the Colosseum and Forum otherwise you really missing out walking around yourself.
Our guide was Suzanna Mariani for this fabulous tour of the historic Colosseum and Roman Forum. She is an expert guide with a degree in ancient history.

She was absolutely passionate about what she shared and pointed out along the way, in particular she had charts that illustrated what the ruins looked like when they were truly standing which brought the ruins to life.
This was critical and made you appreciate the grandeur of the architecture that was accomplished in 2000 plus years ago.
