What's the difference between semi-private and group tours?

Semi-private tours cap group size (typically 8–15 people), offering more personalised attention and flexibility than large group tours (30+ people), while costing less than fully private guides. You'll still share the experience with other travellers.

Will we have time to enter the Pantheon or Trevi Fountain?

The 3-hour tour focuses on exterior views and neighbourhood exploration. Your guide will share the history and help you plan when and how to visit interiors on your own; entry fees are separate.

How many kilometres will we walk, and is it suitable for families with children?

Expect roughly 3–4 km of walking over 3 hours with stops. The pace is leisurely, but comfortable shoes and reasonable fitness are essential. Families with young children should confirm pace expectations with the supplier beforehand.

Does the guide give shopping and restaurant recommendations?

Yes — part of the tour value is insider advice on where to eat, shop, and navigate Rome like a local. Your guide will suggest options suited to different budgets and interests.

What is included, and what costs extra?

The tour price (from €35) covers the 3-hour guided walk and expert commentary. Attraction entry fees, meals, drinks, and transport between the tour and your hotel are separate.

When should I book, and what's the cancellation policy?

Book in advance to secure your preferred time slot, especially in peak season. Confirm cancellation and refund terms with the supplier; policies vary by operator.

our guide Priya was nice enough, but a viewpoint locals use felt a bit rushed honestly, and would only really suit you if youre not fussy, 2.5 hours and never dull.

So nice this one, a tiny courtyard tucked off the main drag was amazing and Mei the guide explain everything good. Better than Bali for sure, we go again!

our guide Mei was brilliant and a tiny courtyard tucked off the main drag was the highlight, and used it for our summer trip.
