Oleksandra LukanGuide & historian in Rome, the Vatican and Vienna

Rome

From the Colosseum to quiet squares and the city beneath your feet.

Rome can’t be seen in one go — and it shouldn’t be. We’ll choose what interests you: antiquity, squares and fountains, Christian sites or art.

I build the route around you: first time in Rome or your fifth, with children or without, on foot or by car.

Classical Rome

3–6 hours

The overview: Colosseum, Capitoline, the fora, the Pantheon, Piazza Navona and the great fountains — so the city makes sense as a whole.

Ancient Rome

The Colosseum, Palatine and Roman Forum — from the hut of Romulus and Remus to imperial grandeur.

Entry tickets separate

Squares & fountains

3 hours

Baroque squares, the Trevi Fountain and secrets only repeat visitors get to see.

San Clemente. Underground Rome

3 hours

Four floors of history below ground: a basilica, the first church, an ancient temple and an underground river.

Galleria Borghese

2.5–3 hours

The queen of private collections: Raphael, Canova, Bernini and six paintings by Caravaggio.

Booking required

Rome at night

2 hours

A romantic evening drive: the Colosseum, Castel Sant’Angelo and a floodlit St Peter’s.

4 hours

Five hundred fountains in the Apennine foothills — a corner of paradise 30 km from Rome.

Frequently asked

First time in Rome — where to start?

With the classical overview: it gives the big picture, then we choose themes.

What if I’ve been before?

Then “Squares & fountains”, underground Rome or the art routes work beautifully.

On foot or by car?

Whatever suits you. Some routes (beyond the city, Rome at night) are by car.
