Rome Private Tour with a Local: Highlights and Hidden Corners

A private tour with a local guide rather than a company script, built to give you the overview and the parts that are not on the overview. The route covers the Pantheon, Piazza Navona and Trastevere, with the guide filling in the corners in between: the streets, the small squares and the things you would walk past twice without knowing. A local treat is included. Trastevere is the reason to book this rather than a standard centre walk. It sits across the river, its roots are working class, and it has kept a character the historic centre lost decades ago: old trattorias next to new ones, craft breweries, workshops and people who live there rather than visit. The operator runs this format in cities worldwide. Guides are paid a fair fee, groups stay small enough not to take over a street, the food and drink are local, and the tours are carbon-neutral and kept off the standard routes. Depending on the option booked, the tour runs on foot or by scooter, which changes how much ground you cover.
