Best Tours & activities in Rome (2026)

A good guide can transform a visit to Rome's busiest sites, especially the Vatican and the Colosseum, where timed entries and restricted areas are hard to arrange alone. Walks of Italy and Through Eternity Tours both run early-entry Vatican tours and Colosseum visits that include the arena floor or underground, with small groups. Walks Inside Rome, a family-owned company, specialises in private tours of no more than eight people, from Caravaggio walks to golf cart tours.

For food, Eating Europe Rome leads small groups through Testaccio, Trastevere and the Jewish Ghetto, with tastings that add up to a full meal. To cover more ground, Top Bike Rental & Tours near the Colosseum runs bike and e-bike tours, including the Appian Way and its catacombs and aqueducts. Book Vatican and Colosseum tours well in advance in busy months, check what tickets are included and the cancellation terms, and confirm the meeting point the day before. Dress modestly for Vatican tours and wear comfortable shoes for every walk.
