What to see in Rome with a guide
The places where a guide makes all the difference: they know how to get in, what to look at and what to tell you.
Colosseum, Roman Forum and Palatine Hill
The heart of ancient Rome in a single route. Entry is by timed slot and must be booked: with a guide, you already know where to go in and what to look at.
Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel
Miles of galleries and masterpieces. Your guide picks the route and takes you to the Sistine Chapel without wasting time.
St. Peter's Basilica
The basilica, Bernini's square and, if you're up for the climb, Michelangelo's dome.
Pantheon, Piazza Navona and Trevi Fountain
The historic center on foot, among Baroque squares, churches and palazzos, with the stories you won't find on the signs.
Trastevere and Janiculum Hill
Narrow lanes, medieval churches and one of the finest views over the city.
Appian Way and the Catacombs
The queen of Roman roads, lined with tombs, aqueducts and the catacombs of the early Christians.
Beyond Rome: Ostia Antica, Tivoli and Cerveteri
An entire Roman city, Hadrian's Villa and Villa d'Este, the Etruscan necropolises. All doable as day trips.
How to choose a tour guide in Rome
- Make sure they are licensed. Ask for the QR code on their badge and scan it: their profile opens on the National Register of the Italian Ministry of Tourism. How to recognize a licensed guide.
- Make sure they speak your language. A tour in the language of the people listening is worth twice as much: on AskTour there are guides in all languages.
- Private or group. A private tour follows your pace and your questions; in a group you share the cost.
- Clear about tickets. Ask who books them and whether they are included in the price before you confirm.
- Headsets for groups. At crowded sites they let you hear the guide without having to follow them closely.
