About this experience

This tour is perfect if you want to see Rome’s most famous spots in a short time, without being rushed in a big group. In just two hours, your private guide takes you through a compact route that includes the Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon (exterior only), Piazza Navona, and the charming streets ideal for first-time visitors, families, or anyone with limited time in the city.
This experience is completely private and flexible. Your guide adapts the pace and commentary to you: more stories and legends, more history and architecture, or more time for photos and gelato stops – it’s your choice. Because everything is done on foot, you can slip into hidden alleys, small piazzas, and local corners that bus tours simply can’t reach, getting a feel for the real Rome beyond the postcard views.
With a short, easy walk, a central meeting point, and a friendly local guide focused only on your group, this tour offers a relaxed and personal way to discover the essential heart of Rome.

Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

Your tour starts at the stunning Trevi Fountain, one of Rome’s most famous landmarks. Your guide explains the history of the fountain, its baroque design, and the legend of tossing a coin to ensure your return to Rome. You’ll have time to enjoy the atmosphere and take photos before continuing into the narrow side streets.

You then walk through charming cobbled streets to the Pantheon. From the outside, your guide will show you the impressive façade, massive columns, and ancient inscription on the front. You’ll learn how this building started as a Roman temple and later became a church, and why its dome is considered one of the greatest engineering achievements of the ancient world – all while admiring the monument from the square in front.

Stop 3

Next, you continue to Piazza Navona, a beautiful baroque square built on the site of an ancient Roman stadium. Your guide tells you about the rivalry between Bernini and Borromini, explains the Fountain of the Four Rivers, and points out the best angles for photos. You’ll experience the street artists, fountains, and cafés that make this square so lively.

Stop 4

If time and walking pace allow, you head to Campo de’ Fiori, famous for its morning market and vibrant evening atmosphere. Your guide talks about the story of Giordano Bruno and shows you nearby bakeries, wine bars, and authentic trattorias.
Alternatively, the guide can focus more on the hidden lanes and small piazzas around Piazza Navona and the Pantheon area, sharing local stories and insider tips.
