Rome 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.

We had the most wonderful tour with Richard today! He brought the sculptures to life for us and we learned so much. Thanks to him and to Context for yet another fabulous tour. We wouldn’t dare use any other company when Context is an option!
We were thrilled to spend additional time with Dony, and his enthusiasm and knowledge of Ostia Antica made for an incredible half-day outing! Walking among the ruins and learning more and more about this fascinating port city and the day-to-day helped us understand just how sophisticated the ancient civilization around Rome truly was. If you have the time, make a visit to Ostia Antica!
Seeing the art and sculptures at the Borghese Gallery was a highlight of our time in Rome, and Paolo helped bring it all alive for us! Although the second floor of the Borghese was closed during our time, Paolo spent additional time sharing his knowledge of all the fabulous works found on the first floor. He encouraged us to visit the Palazzo Barberini where many of the paintings are now temporarily displayed, which we did!
