At Walks of Italy, we do more than show you the sights—we unlock Italy’s greatest stories. What began with two passionate guides at the Colosseum over 15 years ago has grown into Italy’s most trusted tour company, recommended by Rick Steves, officially partnered with the Vatican and Colosseum, and backed by millions of guests and an average 4.9-star rating.
We believe the best tours start with the best people. That’s why our expert guides—historians, archaeologists, chefs—are handpicked for their deep knowledge and unmatched storytelling. Whether you're stepping inside the Colosseum’s underground with an archaeologist or unlocking the Sistine Chapel at dawn alongside the Vatican Keymaster, we bring you face-to-face with Italy’s wonders like no one else can.
Our tours are small, personal, and designed to make every moment count. We secure exclusive access to world-famous sites, skip the lines, and handle every detail—so you can focus on soaking it all in.
We know these trips are more than vacations—they’re lifelong dreams. Ancient Rome, Florence, Venice, Pompeii: these places fascinate us to this day, and nothing matters more to us than making your experience as special and memorable as it can be.
We’re also deeply committed to preserving Italy’s cultural heritage. In 2023, we proudly sponsored restoration work at the Colosseum’s underground tunnels—helping protect and share these ancient wonders with future generations.
With Walks, you don’t just visit Italy—you live it.

What to Do in Rome When It Rains | Walks of Italy
