Off the beaten path tour of modern Rome history
Douglas_M, Apr 2024
If you are interested in learning about and seeing the Rome of the 20th century interwar period, plus some of the best examples of rationalist architecture, then this tour is for you! This tour also avoids the crowds; we didn't encounter a single tourist the entire tour, so it felt like we had Rome to ourselves. We highly recommend this tour!
A different Rome

The tour features a different side of Rome. Our guide Francesco is knowledgeable and offered a lot of insights about Mussolini. A must for history or architecture buffs.
Rome beyond the usual tourist attractions
Fred_C, Jan 2023
Bruno is a spectacular guide- one of the best we have ever had in our years of travel. He is extremely well informed and presents information clearly and enthusiastically. The subject of the tour- Mussolini- was presented in a nuanced way that helped us better understand the history of Italy. He took us places that tourists don’t ordinarily see. He is a terrific guide and wonderful company.
