Rome Private and Small Group Guided Tours

Rome’s ancient, everlasting influence lives on well into the present. Behold the Colosseum’s two thousand years of history with an archaeologist who has dug in the old Roman sites. Or, see Apollo’s hunt for Daphne in Bernini’s stunning sculpture at the world renowned Borghese Gallery with an art historian who can bring the Renaissance to life. La Città Eterna is abound with stories waiting to be told—uncover them with Context's Rome private tours and small group tours.

We offer a wide range of Rome guided tours, including visits to museums, archaeological sites, and food tours—all led by local scholars and specialists. In addition to the main attractions like the Colosseum and the Vatican, our Rome private guides can also show you the sites less traveled. One of our most popular Rome private tours is our Ostia Antica tour, an excursion to the ancient port of Rome buried by centuries of mud, one of the nation's most compelling archaeological sites. Traveling to Rome with kids? Try our Ancient Rome for Kids Tour and our Vatican for Kids Tour, both of which use interactive activities, scavenger hunts, and games and feature private guides trained in inquiry-based learning to make Rome come alive. Also popular is our Underground Rome Tour, in which we dig under the surface (literally and figuratively) with an archaeologist or speleologist to explore sewers, crypts, and buried temples—featured in National Geographic and on the History Channel.
