The practical part
Good to know, before you go
Meeting point
We meet at Colosseum: Metro Colosseo exit. Vatican: Viale Giulio Cesare 229. A map pin, photos of the spot and your host's contact are sent with your confirmation, and again by WhatsApp before the day.
What to bring
Comfortable shoes, a bottle of water and, in summer, a hat. Large bags and luggage are typically not allowed inside the monuments, so travel light on tour day.
Weather
Rome is generous most of the year and tours typically run rain or shine. If conditions ever make the experience unsafe or a site closes, we will reach out with alternatives.
Accessibility
Ancient sites mean cobblestones, ramps and the occasional staircase. Tell us about any mobility needs when you book and we will recommend the most comfortable route.
