We had such a fun day exploring tjhe Colosseum with our guide Simona. She made the whole experience interesting and fun for us, and we learned so much. Much more than we would have done on our own. Afterwards, the boys really got stuck into gladiator school, where we dressed up, learned fighting skills and faced off in a mini arena. My youngest said it was the best day ever! I’d highly recommend You Local Rome if you’re coming to the city with family. It’s a great way to bring history to life and have fun all at the same time!

Fantastic food tour We did a Trastevere food tour with the brilliant Daniele and loved it from start to finish. Not only did we get to try some delicious treats including suppli and cannoli but we learned so much about the area, the great spots to go to and got to wander local markets. If you’re a foodie and want to get an idea of where to go definitely choose this tour. Daniele was a great guide.

Very knowledgeable guide... Very knowledgeable guide with great information. The entry process was easy but the radios we used through the museum were spotty so we had a tough time hearing the guide.
