School groups 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.

I realu enjoyed the tour. The guide was incredibly knowledgeable and had a great way of presenting information. It was engaging from start to finish, and I really enjoyed listening to all the interesting facts and anecdotes. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an informative and fun way to explore the city!
Lucas fue maravilloso! Se nota su pasión por los temas y contó historias maravillosas (digo, las historias en sí son terribles pero Lucas las contaba de una manera en las que te transportaba en el tiempo y te envolvía en la historia). Quedamos muy contentos de haber vivido el tour. Gracias, Lucas!!
Leo did a great job. Very immersive and funny. Connected dots throughout that really brought parts of the city alive. He was witty and even showed us things not necessarily part of the tour (ie restaurant locations and cafe recommendations). The information provided about the tour specific was great and explained with personality rather than forced like a robot. I recommend this tour 100%.
