Rome Private Tours and Experiences Hosted by Local Experts

Context tours are for travelers who love to learn. Since 2003, we have offered a wide range of Rome guided tours, including visits to museums, archaeological sites, and food tours—all led by local scholars and specialists. In addition to the main attractions like the Colosseum and the Vatican Museums, our Rome private guides can also show you the sites less traveled.

One of our most popular Rome private tours is our Ostia Antica tour, an excursion to the ancient port of Rome buried by centuries of mud, one of Italy's most compelling archaeological sites. Also popular is our Underground Rome Tour, in which we dig under the surface (literally and figuratively) with a trained Archaeologist or Speleologist to explore sewers, crypts, and buried temples—featured in National Geographic and on the History Channel.

Traveling to Rome with kids? Try our Ancient Rome for Kids Tour and our Vatican for Kids Tour, both of which use interactive activities, scavenger hunts, and games and feature private guides trained in inquiry-based learning to make Rome come alive.

Or are you more eager to take a day trip from Rome? Our team has taken care of planning all the logistics for a perfect Pompeii Full Day Tour from Rome.

Outstanding tours today. Has a very knowledgeable guide and he made the experience fun. Would recommend him and request him next time we’re in town.
Valeria was excellent. She clearly covered the two periods of history which led to Fascism. We have been to Rome at least 5 times and never ventured to the center of Mussolini’s dream. You are presented with a conundrum. This autocrat had a vision at the expense of the world and through his and his entourage of architects was able to show the splendor he envisioned. I felt guilty liking his architectural accomplishments.
Vanella was superb! She was able to get us away from the crowds and give an experience of Rome off the beaten path but still seeing the major sights during the tour. She was informative and ever so pleasant.
