Best tour in Rome - Simone was a wonderful tour guide. My children (aged 10, 12 and 14) thought the best of all time and he is definitely the best in Rome. We did many tours and Simone was the highlight of our trip. He was so engaging, getting the kids interested in history and the many secrets and secret places we never would have found. He showed us where to find the most delicious food and told us interesting stories about everything on our “treasure hunt” around Rome and stories about everything we pointed out too. He even taught the kids some Italian. The time flew by and we all thoroughly enjoyed every minute. Book Simone if you can. You won’t regret it.

Great family friendly tour - We recently took the Family Friendly Rome City Tour with Simone and had a great experience. Our group included my family of 4 (kids aged 8 & 11) and 2 grandparents. Simone was an excellent guide, using his knowledge of Rome's history and his passion for the city to provide a blend of historical insights and engaging stories that kept both the adults and kids entertained. Since we got in on a redeye the same day, about halfway through the tour, the grandparents opted to do less walking and go their separate way. Simone was very understanding and helped them find a convenient spot to rest. For the rest of us, the tour continued smoothly, and we appreciated Simone's flexibility and attentiveness to our needs. Overall, this tour was a great way to explore some Rome highlights with the family.

Excellent Tour in Rome with Simone - We are a family of 4 with two kiddos (11 and 7). Simone was such a wonderful guide and really great with our kids. When we asked our kids there favorite part of Rome, it was the tour with Simone. He was extremely knowledgeable, patient answering the many questions from our son and being a local, he was able to show us things we wouldn't have gotten in a large tour group. The time went by so quickly, and it was well worth the investment. We cannot recommend him enough!

A wonderful afternoon in Rome - We can’t thank Simone enough for a wonderful tour of Rome. My daughters are 7 and 8 and really enjoyed the tour. It was their first time in Rome and in only 3 hours they saw and learned so much! I was also impressed with the amount of things we managed to see in just one afternoon. Simone knows Rome very well and he was very sweet with our daughters. I would totally recommend this tour! We wish we could have done the Colosseo tour as well with with locals but it was fully booked…book early if you are visiting Rome!

Great family friendly tour with Simone - Simone was a wonderful guide. He showed us many interesting places that we certainly would not have found without his direction. Of course the usual sights like the Trevi fountain but he took through ‘open doors’ to surprises inside. We changed our plans midway through the tour due to a family misunderstanding and Simone graciously accommodated our requests. He was great with our 12 year old son, asking him lots of questions and tailoring the conversation to keep his interest in the hot weather! We would definitely recommend Simone.

Fabulous authentic walking tour around Rome - Simone was the perfect host - engaging, intelligent and great with both adults and kids alike. He clearly has a genuine passion for Rome and knows the city inside out, taking us to places that we wouldn’t normally have spotted in any guide book and providing us with a really educational and fascinating few hours. It’s a long tour with plenty of walking (the kids were angling for a lie down and some A/C by the end!) but well worth it, finishing with a cold beer from an authentic Roman bar in Trastevere. Forza Roma!

Choose Simone! Great tour with Tweens/Teens - Our first afternoon in Rome and what a great introduction! Simone was a fabulous guide, who kept us all interested, even the tired & hot 11 year old and the 13 year old who is mostly obsessed with cars, not history. We asked him to show us the main sites, but with 'his' Rome. We definitely got to see some unusual places, that we never would have without his passion and continuing curiosity for the city he was born in. He gave us some fabulous tips, and tried to find us two of his favourite restaurants in Trastevere for dinner. Unfortunately, they were both closed (where they normally wouldn't be). We would definitely book him again and recommend him to all visitors to Rome.

Great Rome tour with Francesca - A wonderful tour with Francesca who is very passionate and knowledgable about Rome. As well as seeing the main sites, she took us to some interesting places off the beaten track too. We were only in Rome for a couple of days and this was a perfect way to make sense of a city that has so much to see.

Family fun in Rome during a layover - Simone was a grest guide. He was enthusiastic and clearly loves his job. It was a very warm summer day and he paced the day well and kept my overly active 7 and 3 year olds involved throughout the experience. He also asked questions and catered the experience to what we were interested and stopped at a great local shop fof gelato and beverages. I only wish we weren't flying out on the same day to book other sessions with him.
