No transport or entry fees covered, so wear comfortable shoes and bring cash for monuments.

What to expect
You'll spend most of the tour on foot, moving through Rome's historic centre at a conversational pace. Marco focuses on storytelling rather than lecturing—expect questions, tangents, and the kind of details you'd pick up from a mate who's lived here for years. The walk covers significant ancient sites, though entry tickets are your responsibility. Bring water, wear good shoes, and plan for 5–7 hours depending on how long you linger and chat. Prams and strollers are welcome.
Good to know
Public transport is nearby if you need a break. Not suitable if you have spinal, cardiovascular, or pregnancy-related concerns. Service animals welcome. Tickets to monuments not included—budget accordingly. Comfortable, worn-in footwear essential.
