Rome Private Tours and Experiences Hosted by Local Experts

Context tours are for travelers who love to learn. Since 2003, we have offered 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 Museums, 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 Italy's most compelling archaeological sites. Also popular is our Underground Rome Tour, in which we dig under the surface (literally and figuratively) with a trained Archaeologist or Speleologist to explore sewers, crypts, and buried temples—featured in National Geographic and on the History Channel.

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.

Or are you more eager to take a day trip from Rome? Our team has taken care of planning all the logistics for a perfect Pompeii Full Day Tour from Rome.

Alessandra was an excellent guide. I am so glad we did the private tour on our first day in Rome. She gave us a wonderful and easy to understand history of the city and the monuments we say. I highly recommend this tour.
5 stars for sure. We loved our tour with Priscilla. She was very knowledgeable and gave us a great tour. We would definitely use her again if we come back.
Awesome time! Dimo was very knowledgeable and very passionate about the history and architecture and was able to answer any questions we had! We went at a very comfortable pace and learned a lot! I would recommend to anyone!
