this free tour will acquaint you with the city&#8217;s rich past, incredible architecture, and magnificent sights. Rest assured, you&#8217;re in expert hands.<\/p>\n<p>quote-left<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Visiting Rome for the first time with my boyfriend and having the tour with Alexandra was just stunning. She\u2019s so interactive and free spirited. After 1.5 hours touring she was still willing and sharing knowledge of actual history with us. She was so accommodating to our group and there was two young children that really enjoyed the tour in a fun way. Alexandra is the BEST!!!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>quote-right<\/p>\n<h3> Which language is this tour in?<\/h3>\n<p>This free guided walking tour is conducted in English only.<\/p>\n<h3> How many people are allowed on the tour?<\/h3>\n<p>Despite being a free tour, they do not allow more than 30 people in one group. While this may seem like a lot, free tours are always fun with more people. Like they say, more the merrier.<\/p>\n<h3> Do I have to pay a fine if I don&#8217;t turn up?<\/h3>\n<p>Not at all! We understand plans change, so just let us know and we&#8217;ll have the tour guide know about your absence.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I book the tour on the day of the experience?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes you can! The tickets are open dated and you can book them on any day you&#8217;d like. It does not have to be on the date of the experience you&#8217;ve chosen.<\/p>\n<h3> Do I need to print out my tickets?<\/h3>\n<p>Nope! You can show your mobile voucher to the tour guide and you&#8217;re good to go.<\/p>\n<h3> Where does this free tour start?<\/h3>\n<p>The meeting point is located in the northern side of Piazza Navona, in front of the &#8220;Al Sogno&#8221; shop. You&#8217;ll find your guide waiting for you at the shop.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"budget\">Visiting Rome On A Budget?<\/h2>\n<p>Here are a few detailed guides that will help you plan your budget trip to Rome better.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/rome-travel-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-imgix-open.headout.com\/blog\/media\/images\/new\/Rome+Travel+Planning.jpg?auto=compress&amp;fm=pjpg&amp;w=400&amp;h=800&amp;q=30\" alt=\"Rome\" data-pagespeed-url-hash=\"1297293160\" onload=\"pagespeed.CriticalImages.checkImageForCriticality(this);\">Rome Travel Tips &amp; Hacks <\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/rome-on-a-budget\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-imgix-open.headout.com\/blog\/media\/images\/new\/Rome+on+a+budget+3.jpg?auto=compress&amp;fm=pjpg&amp;w=400&amp;h=800&amp;q=30\" alt=\"rome\" data-pagespeed-url-hash=\"2135557757\" onload=\"pagespeed.CriticalImages.checkImageForCriticality(this);\">Planning Rome On A Budget <\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/best-time-to-visit-rome\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/headout-open\/blog\/Rome\/Rome+in+April+\/ROME+IN+APRIL.jpg?auto=compress&amp;fm=pjpg&amp;w=400&amp;h=800&amp;q=30\" alt=\"Best Time To Visit Rome \" data-pagespeed-url-hash=\"3737261180\" onload=\"pagespeed.CriticalImages.checkImageForCriticality(this);\">Best Time To Visit Rome <\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/free-things-to-do-in-rome\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-imgix-open.headout.com\/blog\/media\/images\/new\/St.+Angelo+Bridge+Rome.jpg?auto=compress&amp;fm=pjpg&amp;w=400&amp;h=800&amp;q=30\" alt=\"Free Things To Do In Rome\" data-pagespeed-url-hash=\"57084264\" onload=\"pagespeed.CriticalImages.checkImageForCriticality(this);\"> Free Things To Do In Rome <\/a><\/p>\n<p>See more Rome.
