Carlo is an amazing guide who is both extremely knowledgeable and talkative. There was never a dull moment with him and he kept us entertained the entire time. I think the best comment I can make of any guide is that he made the time fly by. Bravo Carlo!

Francesca was marvelous! My husband and I booked a private tour with Francesca and it was outstanding! She is so knowledgeable and works you through the massive maze of the Vatican and all the important areas. We loved seeing the Sistine Chapel (not a first time), but this time Francesca reviewed the entire ceiling and what we would see before going into the chapel. It was so enlightening to be able to look up and recognize everything she taught us! We highly recommend Francesca and hope to see her on our next visit!

She was great with my 3-year old. We had a great time experiencing new things with her. She was happy to share her thoughts and experiences with us. We definitely recommend her and would use her for future tours.

My husband and I had the best time with Carlo touring the Colosseum and Palatine Hill. Carlo is incredibly warm and friendly, is extremely knowledgeable about Roman history, and just has a passion for what he does. This tour truly was one of the highlights of our trip to Rome and really because of Carlo's warm nature, understandable explanations, and enthusiasm. We learned so much on this tour that we never would have on our own. We even enjoyed visiting sites later in our trip which Carlo recommended, some that are off the beaten path, and which we particularly enjoyed. Grazie Carlo!

My husband and I really enjoyed this tour. Francesca was an excellent guide, making us feel comfortable and welcome right away. She quickly discerned our level of knowledge and really crafted the tour on the spot accordingly. We felt very much like we had exclusive access to the museums, the Sistine Chapel, and St. Peter's Basilica and learned quite a bit, having started with only a general knowledge of the Vatican. Thank you, Francesca, this was a real highlight of our trip to Rome!

We had a fantastic time with our host Maria Gloria and her two amazing chefs. We were a party of three, and had one other traveler join us. We were so happy to have her experience this with us and we had an amazing time. Three hours flew by! Just a tip, do not eat before coming to your dinner, it is a lot of excellent food….. A LOT! When we come back to Rome, we will for sure come and have dinner with them again!

We did this tour on our first day in Rome. It was so great. We got a chance to walk around the city and get a feel for the City. The food choices were amazing and we never would have found them on our own. Simone had a ton of knowledge on the history or the city and different sights. He was fun, entertaining, and knowledgeable. I can’t recommend him enough.

This was such a fun experience. We didn't know what to expect so it was exciting. Rocio is truly amazing. She did such a great job showing us around and giving us the history. She worked hard to accommodate each of our needs as there were several picky eaters in our group. Then someone left a purchase he had made and she tracked it down the next day and shipped it to us in the United States. We can't thank her enough. She truly is great.

Claudia and Giovanni were amazing hosts who gave us an amazing meal while sharing great stories and treating us like family. I highly recommend dinner with them whether this is your first time to Rome or you’ve been there 100 times book a dinner with Claudia and Giovanni. It is so worth the experience. They gave us excellent advice and tips on visiting places

I highly recommend booking any experience with Matteo. As a guide & person, Matteo is kind, intuitive, creative, flexible, and engaging. He is not only knowledgeable about many aspects of Roman history, but authentically passionate about Rome. It was an absolute privilege to meet him and share the magic of Rome together.

We toured the Vatican Museums with Federico from With Locals on 24 November 2023. It was a fabulous experience from planning to the tour itself. He is so knowledgeable...and I had lots of questions. Also very nice, fun and so efficient showing us a large portion of the Vatican museums. We learned so much and would hire him for another tour in a second! Bravo Federico!

A+ day with Federico. Federico was extremely knowledgeable , fun and accommodating. We saw all the highlights of the colosseum and the forum. He also gave us a great recommendation for lunch after our tour. I would highly recommend Federico for your tour while in Rome. Thank you Federico.

I love to eat, but I don’t love to cook. Taking the class with Massimo changed my mind. It created a desire for me to attempt making pastas and enjoying it. I’m so grateful that Massimo opened up his home and his heart to teach others how to make the most delicious pastas. Simple, fresh, quick, and beyond amazing dishes were prepared and devoured. My husband and I couldn’t decide which of the three were our favorite. We are beyond excited to try to cook these pastas at home. I know it won’t come close to Massimo’s cooking. So we will need to come back to Rome and take Massimo’s class again. :)

Valentina is so warm and knowledgeable! It was a real treat to see a different side to Rome and view it thru a non-tourist lens. We saw neighborhoods and sites we would not have gone to otherwise. And we avoided the crowds! Next time we are in Rome, we will book more tours with Valentina!!

Paola did a great job. We enjoyed her company and the wonderful food. We highly recommend Paola. Fun and interesting tour.
