What To Expect

Your walking tour starts at Piazza di Spagna, one of the city’s most popular squares, known for its setting at the bottom of the Spanish Steps. Walk up these famous steps to enjoy a lovely view from the top, and then continue along Rome’s winding cobblestone alleys to the Trevi Fountain.

Stop at the fountain to post for photos and throw a coin in the water, if you wish, which legend says ensures your return to Rome someday. Then continue to the square that Romans consider to be the center of the city, Piazza Colonna, home to a column erected by Marcus Aurelius. Make your way to the Pantheon, a stately temple known for its concrete dome and open oculus, before heading to Piazza Navona, one of Rome’s liveliest squares, where street artists show off their talents and visitors mingle around Bernini’s Fountain of the Four Rivers.

Optional Colosseum and Ancient Rome upgrade:

When booking, you have the option to upgrade your walking tour to include an additional tour of Rome’s ancient attractions, including the Colosseum. This is a morning tour, so it would take place first, starting with a leisurely walk up Oppian Hill for a view of the Colosseum.

Then head back down and enter the Colosseum, skipping the main entrance line with your priority-access ticket. With your guide, walk around the first and second levels of this legendary amphitheater, listening to stories about the gory gladiator battles that once took place here. Next, walk over to the Roman Forum, passing by the Arch of Constantine, and climb up Palatine Hill for more views. You’ll end on Via Sacra, a main road that links the Colosseum to Capitoline Hill. You have about two hours of free time before the Best of Rome walking tour starts so you can have lunch or take a break on your own (own expense).   

By booking these two tours together, you'll save 13% compared to booking them separately.

Traveler Tips


Don’t miss the Trevi Fountain and be sure to throw a coin in!
Taking this tour in the afternoon heat is very tiring and at times boring.
It's a great way to take in a multitude of sites in a short time.

Semi private tour was money very well spent
Laurie_P, Sep 2023
Ally was one of the most knowledgeable guides the six of us well travelled adults have had on one of our tours. She was very time efficient, engaging and charming. Couldn’t have asked for better experience. Thank you!
Great guide
Phoenix_B, Sep 2023
Great guide. It was our second tour of the day. So we were tired, she made it very interesting. Bravo
Great walk through Rome
Bich_T, Sep 2023
It was nice to have a tour guide showing us the significant sights of Rome. There were roo many people around and it would take us much longer trying to navigate the city on our own.
Amazing place
yamen_H, Sep 2023
Everything was amazing, the architecture and guider, he explained everything to hs in a very good and funny way
Most enjoyable
Peter_M, Sep 2023
One of the best tours I’ve ever been on , guide was very very knowledgeable, funny , a credit to his company , would throughly recommend, very happy customer
Some issues but overall good
John_S, Sep 2023
The meeting point for the coliseum and the initial gathering of the group was very poorly arranged. Despite the tour operator providing detailed information in the end you find yourself mixed in with hundreds of other people for other tours, in the blazing sun, for a half hour. It would be simpler to meet at a specific address in the shade half a block away. Once we got started the guide was excellent and the morning tour was great. As the time for the afternoon tour approached I checked the app and it said it was cancelled. I did not receive any contact regarding this and would have gone to the second meeting point for nothing had I not checked the app ahead of time, I contacted Viator to verify it was canceled and to request a partial refund, which they have requested from the operator. We still don’t know why it was canceled. Oh well!
Excellent Tour!
Christine_S, Sep 2023
Paulo, was an excellent tourist guide! He made sure we were safe & grouped together to ensure each of us heard all of the details! Plus, he was very knowledgeable and showed genuine passion in sharing all the famous locations on the tour. He really did an amazing job!
Fountains and Plazzas
Stephen_R, Sep 2023
Guide had very good English. She was however very opinionated and came across somewhat harsh. Her knowledge was excellent and she was able impart it well
Not impressed
Vanessa_A, Sep 2023
Unfortunately didn't learn much. It was difficult to understand the guide and she didn'tprovide much insight to what we were seeing. The tour was scheduled for 2.5hrs and it finished an hour early.
Inspiring
karlwegner, Sep 2023
The guide was very informative and knowledgeable about the sculptures and the artist of renaissance Rome. Sights were very visually interesting especially their historical contexts
Informational
Cassidy_P, Sep 2023
A nice and informative tour, be prepared for the walking, they take you through great parts of the city but it can be a lot of walking for some.
How do your do a tour of the Pantheon without entering?
Peter_A, Sep 2023
The Spanish steps and Trevi Fountain were nice and well-explained. When we got to the Pantheon, the guide said we are not going in, that would have to be done later at individual expense. The whole point of a tour is to witness and understand what you're touring. I was completely disappointed.
Response from Host, Sep 2023

Great walking and learning experience in Rome!
Azadeh_Y, Sep 2023
It was a great experience to walk around Rome with a tour guide who was very knowledgeable about Rome. We saw a lot of important points in Rome and we learned a lot in 2 1/2 hour walk. Thank you.
Great informative tour
John_B, Aug 2023
Our guide was well informed and engaged the whole group with her history of Rome. We started at the Spanish Steps then on to the Trevi Fountain and finally the Pantheon. Highly recommend.
Terrible
Margaret_F, Aug 2023

Disappointing.
David_B, Aug 2023
The email with instructions. Gave the wrong meeting place causing us to miss the tour. We were at the meeting spot for 40 minutes early. There was no way to know who our tour was with since we were looking for a sign for Vitator and the tour was named something completely different. It was a disaster.
Best tour for my last full day in the Eternal City
Johnjohn_G, Aug 2023
My most memorable experience was going back to the trevi fountain again after 22 years. I was surprised that the Benetton store is still open. That store is very memorable for me because the first time I was there, I was refused to enter because they’re about to do “afternoon siesta”. Eddy is a great guide!
Awesome tour
Ioannis_K, Aug 2023
Amazing tour. Guide was awesome. Very informative, knowledgeable, and passionate about his work. Thank you Eddy!!! We will definitely recommend to friends and family.
No Refund given for a cancelled tour!
Armen_H, Aug 2023
A night before our tour, we received a call that the tour guide is sick and the tour is cancelled. I understand that anyone can get sick. However, since I could not rebook the tour because all days in Rome were already planned for something else, I request a refund. They promised to refund the money within a week. Now, more than 2 months later, I have not seen a refund!
