How to Hire a Private Guide in Rome for a Day

We will be in Rome mid December and would like a private guide to show us some other interesting places in Rome. We have been before so no need for the Colosseum or the Vatican. About a half day or more. Thank you.

Rick has several suggestions in his guidebook, which you have already doubtlessly studied from cover to cover

Francesca Caruso is in the Rick Steves guidebook and in some of his shows. She also was the local guide for our Rick Steves Rome tour. She was excellent, and while she grew up in Rome, her English is excellent. Unfortunately, she is very popular.

Sonia Tavoletta is also excellent. We met her because Francesca referred us to her. Customizes tours to your interests. [email protected].
