What About Tours is a guild of enthusiastic storytellers and travel experts based in Rome. We offer the best-rated free and private tours in Rome.
Free tours have no fixed price; instead, participants contribute an amount they deem appropriate to the guide after the tour (typically ranging from €10 to $50 based on their satisfaction).
Our free walking tours will take you through the cities' highlights and exclusive locations all across Rome while ditching the dull and diving headfirst into the fun stuff.
Usually, the kids become history fans after our tours.

SIMONE’S TOUR - 10/10
I’m from Rome, yet I had never taken such a complete tour of some of the city’s attractions. I was with my German friend, and we both... Read more fell in love with the experience in the same way—despite the fact that she’s from Berlin and I’m a native Roman.
Simone’s tour was absolutely fascinating. He is engaging, knowledgeable, and capable of explaining every aspect of what we saw in a truly clear and comprehensive way.
A little bonus: both my friend and I are neurodivergent (ADHD), and in any other tour, we would have struggled to stay focused. However, Simone managed to engage us so well that we never got distracted. He also described the paintings in such a vivid way that we were able to keep them in mind throughout his explanation.
Inclusivity is incredibly important to ensure that everyone can fully appreciate the beauty of a city and the insights shared by guides. I highly recommend his tour!
