Rome Tours We Recommend

Kim and I love exploring Rome on our own, but some experiences are just better with a good guide. A guide can get you through the lines, tell you the stories behind what you're seeing, and take you to corners of the city you'd never find yourself. These are the kinds of tours we'd point our own friends and family to.

These are tours we recommend through GetYourGuide. If you book through these links, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. Thank you for supporting our work.

Vatican Tours

The Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel are a must see, but they get very crowded. A guided tour with skip the line entry saves you time and helps you understand what you're looking at.

Colosseum Tours

The Colosseum, the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill are close together, and a guide brings the whole area to life. Some tours also include areas you can't visit with a regular ticket.

Food Tours

Rome is a city for eating well. A food tour is a fun way to taste pasta, pizza, supplì, gelato and more, and to learn where Romans actually eat.

Walking Tours

Rome is best seen on foot. A walking tour links the fountains, piazzas and hidden streets together, so you see more without the stress of finding your way.

Vespa Tours

If you want to feel like a Roman, see the city from the back of a Vespa. It's a fun way to cover a lot of ground and see places most visitors miss.

Golf Cart Tours

A golf cart tour is a great choice if you want to see a lot of Rome without the long walks. It's easy on the feet and covers the big sights in a few relaxed hours.

Explore Rome Your Way

Tours are wonderful, but much of Rome is best enjoyed at your own pace. The Rome Travel Guida is a video guide, interactive maps with our favorite hotels, gelato, panini and more, and a helpful PDF, to help you make the most of Rome while you're there. Watch only what you need.
