Overview of your Rome tour

This tour allows you to discover two amazing areas -full of history, art and architecture - where usually tourists don't go. We will visit a wonderful area built in the Twenties but at the same time we'll discover together secret catacombs and suggestive places made during the early Christianity. This tour joins new and old, modern vibes with misteriosi places. I'm leading you into a world who seems unreal and you'll learn many things about Rome and its history.

Our Off The Beaten Track tour with Valentina was wonderful. She is very knowledgeable as well as very personable. We saw an interesting mix of ancient ruins and 1920's architecture. It was especially nice to explore a new neighborhood and escape the noise and crowds of Rome for a day. I highly recommend Valentina and this tour.

It was an absolute pleasure to go on an off the beaten track tour with Valentina. Firstly, it was nice to get out of center which was jammed with tourists, secondly, the leisurely walk we took was really nice. Valentina is very knowledgeable and fun! Thank you!

Wonderful tour of the neighborhoods of Rome and little known gems. Valentina is a wonderful guide. Very knowledgeable. She articulates in English very well. We had no issue understanding her. After the tour she went out of her way to help us with a taxi and waited with us till it arrived.

Valentina was very pleasant and very knowledgeable about Roman history. We enjoyed our tour and our time spent with her. We would highly recommend Valentina and try to use her again when we return to Rome.

Valentina gave us such an interesting tour of areas in Rome that we had not seen, despite our previous visits to the city. She was extremely knowledgeable and made it such a wonderful experience. Valentina even recommended a restaurant in an area that we toured and it was fantastic. We highly recommend Tours By Locals - the personal touch makes the tour even more enjoyable; and we highly recommend Valentina.

Your Rome tour itinerary

We're visiting first the Coppedé area: built during the Twenties, you'll be very surprised to see something like that in Rome. Houses plenty of details looking like fantasy buildings. Then we're walking through a very local neighborhood where you can't see any tourist, just locals! We'll discover the XX century architecture and we'll get into one of the most fascinating areas of the early Christianity. We'll see here the oldest mosaics of Rome and you'll be surprised about their perfect conservation!
