About this experience
Our bespoke private tours are the most premium experience we offer. From those with young kids who want a fun experience, to those who are looking for something heavy on the detail – each private tour is individually catered to your needs. Crowd-free and stress-free, these tours are also ideal for those with mobility issues, who may struggle to keep up with a normal-sized group. After you book, we’ll be in touch to take note of your requirements so we can begin designing the perfect tour for you.
Our tour will take you from the glory days of the Roman Empire through to the sparkling inspiration of the Renaissance Period and back again, exploring how Rome’s many piazza’s - and the churches, fountains and statues that inhabit them - have played their part in cultivating the city’s rich and sprawling history. Let Carpe Diem Rome's passionate guides grip and enthral you with an injection of humour to complement our extensive knowledge of the city.

Itinerary and highlights
Walk through layers of history at the ancient emperors' forums and the grand Piazza Venezia, where ancient Rome, Renaissance Rome, and Napoleonic Rome all tell their story in one place.
Explore the outer forum and discover the mighty Trajan!
Undeniably one of Rome’s most romantic spots, the beautiful Fontana Di Trevi is the pinnacle of Baroque architecture. We'll spend around 30 minutes here, giving you time to throw coins, make wishes and visit our favourite gelato spot.
Discover one of Rome’s best-kept secrets as you step into this stunning 19th-century courtyard, adorned with vibrant Art Nouveau frescoes, elegant ironwork, and beautifully detailed paintings hidden in the heart of the city.
The Church of St. Ignatius of Loyola at Campus Martius is a Roman Catholic titular church, of deaconry rank, dedicated to Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Society of Jesus, located in Rome, Italy.
Pantheon Surrounded by rustic cobbled alleyways, the towering Pantheon (formerly a Temple, nowadays a church) seems to appear from nowhere. Built by Emperor Hadrian nearly 2000-years-ago, it remains to this day the largest unreinforced concrete dome in the world. We will pass by the Pantheon and explore the surrounding square, spending around 20 minutes here in total.
We finish on a high at the stunning and vibrant Piazza Navona - one of Rome’s most famous landmarks. Featuring three magnificent fountains and the classic Baroque church of Sant’Agnese in Agone. We’ll spend 20 minutes here before ending the tour - after which you can explore some of the many nearby bars and restaurants
