Couldn’t be better!

We had only a couple of days in Rome (celebrated birthday of my dearest friend!) and sooo luckily we chose to go on a bike tour with Simone! The tour took around 4 hours and I would continue all night long:) Riding through the cozy streets knowing that we are in a good hands was pleasant to me. We visited places and heard stories that made the walls get alive! As a wise man told me once- a good guide is the one that will awake your curiosity to read and get to know more about the place. This was exactly the feeling I got at and after the tour! Simone is unique man, he is funny and opinionated person, knows a lot about Rome and sharing it with deep love. He is careful about personal safety and considering for everyone and any request. We got great recommendations to visit places (the night show at the Forum and lots of places to eat in!). This tour was the unforgettable highlight of our visit. Thank you so much Simone, from the deep of our heart.

Best Part of our rome Trip

These guys can give you a real taste of the city… read more

8 of us (10-50yrs of age) took a private tour with Lorenzo around Rome. Forget the tour guide books and just book one of these to get an unforgettable experience. These guys can give you a real taste the city, literally, starting with the sights then finishing with a coffee, ice cream and Peroni for me in proper old school bar. You really won’t reget it …

We had Simone organise a private tour for our family of two adults and two children aged 7 and 9 years. He tailored a unique ride that allowed us to see some sights and sounds of Rome that we didn’t know existed. Simone had a depth and breadth of knowledge of Rome that was remarkable, but more than that was someone whose company we thoroughly enjoyed for the day. Thank you for a great day.
