Do I really need a Private Tour Guide in Rome?

Author: Kate Zagorski


Planning a trip to Rome can be an intimidating experience.

Planning a trip to Rome can be an intimidating experience. With 3000 years of history, endless monuments, more than 900 churches and thousands of miles of museum galleries to discover it is difficult to know where to begin.

While it is tempting to try to attack the city independently, trying to cram everything the Eternal City has to offer into just a few days can leave visitors feeling exhausted and overwhelmed; especially in high season when the crowds and rising temperatures add to the chaos and confusion.

There is no shortage of group tours and excursions on offer, but there is no doubt that the best way to get the most out of your trip to the Eternal City is to hire a private tour guide.

These are the top reasons why you should book a private tour in Rome:

  • No waiting in line: all tours have advanced reservations allowing you to skip the lines where possible.
  • In-depth information: a professional private guide can put the long history of Rome into perspective, helping to slot the various aspects of the city into place.   
  • Hidden treasures: our guides can show you the things that the guide books don’t mention from secret shortcuts to magical places that most tourists miss.
  • Local knowledge: seeing Rome though the experienced eyes of a tour guide enables you to tap into the modern, local culture and gain insider knowledge and recommendations. 
  • Great for kids: a private guide makes the tour experience more enjoyable for children of any age and is specifically aimed at keeping them interested and stimulated, bringing the stories and monuments to life.
  • Personalised experience: a completely private tour allows you to ask unlimited questions and learn more about whichever aspect of Rome interests you the most.
  • Tailor-made itineraries: tours can be adapted on request to include specific places you really want to see.
  • A unique experience: no two private tours are the same, Rome is a city unlike any other and deserves to be visited in a unique way.

 

All of our tours are completely private, for more information and bookings visit the Miles & Miles website.

What other say about us

It just doesn't get any better than this!!!

WOW!!! Let me say it again: WOW! I had the responsibility of planning an entire 2 week, first time trip to Italy for 6 of us (3 couples) which was a lot of pressure... When starting my research, and trip planning, the options were overwhelming! If you are reading this review and whether it is your first trip to Italy or a return trip, you can stop right here and contact "Miles and Miles"!

Fabulous! First Class!! Fun!!!!!

I just returned from Rome and my fifth experience using Miles&Miles....wow!!!! Each time is better than the last! I'm amazed at how many hidden gems of Rome that I walked past without knowing it....until another tour with Miles&Miles revealed these wonderful secrets and surprises! Their service is a great value, especially when one has limited time in Rome.
