Educational and student group tours in Rome
Educational walking tours that turn Rome's history into something students remember, built around what your class is studying.
Rome is the one classroom where the lesson is standing right in front of the students. The Forum, the Pantheon and the Vatican are not pictures in a textbook here. You can walk up and touch them.
We run walking tours for school groups, universities, language schools and clubs. Tell us the subject, the age of your students and how much time you have, and we come back with a route and a price.
For school groups the price covers the whole group, so teachers do not pay separately to join. A two-hour walk starts from €250 for up to 25 students.
What schools get
A route built around your lesson
Ancient history, Latin, art history, religious studies or a first look at the city. The guide adjusts the stories and the pace to the age group.
Small groups, one guide each
One guide leads up to 25 students, so everyone can hear and ask questions. A class of 26 to 50 walks with two guides.
Guides who tell stories
Our guests rate us 4.90 out of 5. Students hold on to a story much longer than to a list of dates.
One person to talk to
You write to us once. We reply within 24 hours, usually much faster, and sort out the guides, the timing and the meeting point with you.
Tours teachers pick most
Each route can be shortened, lengthened or rebuilt around your syllabus.
Need a different topic? Tell us what the class is studying and we will build a route around it, with the length and the places that fit your program.
One price for the whole group
A two-hour walking tour starts from €250 for up to 25 people. You pay for the tour, not for each person.
Longer tours, Colosseum visits and special routes are priced separately. We quote the exact price after you send a request.

We chose to do the tour in Spanish (the only option available on the day we were free). Since we speak Portuguese, we thought we would be able to follow the stories at least to some extent, but unfortunately, it was harder than we expected. Because of that, we left the group early, before the tour was finished. We want to make it clear that this was entirely our own issue, the guide was always very professional, engaging, and clearly very knowledgeable. We really liked her, and the only reason we left was because we couldn’t understand enough to make it worthwhile to stay.
Our first time trying a free walking tour and was excellent and better than expected. Max was informative, enthusiastic and entertaining. Highly recommend.
The tour was great, it is a really good idea to see the sites of Rome in the evening, it much less crowdy then. Max was a wonderful guide, very professional and the tour was well organised and clear. I can fully recommend it :)
