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.

It was great. Even through the rain and the crowds, Alessandra made it very enjoyable and interesting!

Wonderful tour - small group (only 5!), at a very reasonable time of day for me (1:30-5:30), well paced, and I booked just a few hours ahead, when all other tickets were unavailable. Andrea was very personable and provided not only a historical and artistic overview, but interesting details that I had not heard before. A thoroughly enjoyable afternoon! I will definitely book Context Travel tours again, and hope I see Andrea in the future!

Giulia was such a pleasure today at the Colleseum, Palantine Hill and Forum tour. We had a light rain and were able to see a lot of the sites unobstructed by crowds. The history of the sites with Giulia’s incredible knowledge of archeology and history was fantastic. What a pleasure to have two days with such wonderful guides with Context. By contrast, the large groups we saw on the sites seemed to have a much less intimate tour. The private guides through Context both made our trip to Rome so special. Thank you for an unforgettable experience.
