Rome Tours with Kirba Tours
Kirba Tours is a Rome-based tour operator that designs and runs Rome tours for solo travelers, couples, families and groups. Our work is simple: we help people understand the city, not just see it. Every tour is guided by licensed professionals who live in Rome and know its streets, museums and viewpoints in detail.
When you book a Rome tour with us, you are not buying a “package” full of promises. You are choosing a clear itinerary, a specific guide and a pace that matches your energy and interests. We focus on logistics, timing and access, so you can focus on the city.
What we mean by “Rome tours”
Many people associate Rome tours with long queues and large groups being pushed from one monument to another. Our approach is different. A tour, for us, is a structured walk or ride through the city with a clear story: Ancient Rome, papal Rome, Baroque Rome, panoramic Rome at sunset, food and markets, or a mix of several themes in one experience.
Most of our Rome tours are conducted in English, with other languages available on request. We keep groups small or private, so that you can ask questions, adjust the pace and interact with your guide. For travelers who prefer comfort or have reduced mobility, we offer golf cart tours and accessible itineraries that avoid unnecessary steps and steep climbs.
Types of Rome tours you will find with us
On our website you will find different ways to experience the city.
You can choose classic Rome tours on foot, where you explore areas like the Colosseum and the Roman Forum, the historic center, Trastevere or the Vatican Museums at a human pace, with time to stop, listen, look and take photographs without rushing.
If you want to see more in less time, our Rome golf cart tours allow you to cross the city comfortably, reaching squares, churches and viewpoints that would be difficult to combine in a single walk. This format is particularly appreciated by families with children, seniors and travelers who prefer to avoid long distances on cobblestones.
We also design accessible Rome tours for wheelchair users and travelers with specific mobility needs. These itineraries are planned in advance, with step-free routes where possible and realistic indications about any limitations, so that you know exactly what to expect before you book.
For those who already know the main monuments, we offer themed Rome tours focused on less obvious aspects of the city: districts, urban views, daily life, or specific topics you are curious about. In many cases these are private or semi-private experiences that can be adjusted to your interests.
If you wish to leave the city for a day, our team can organize day trips from Rome to selected locations, with transport and guide included. These are designed as extensions of your Rome stay, not as generic excursions.
Who our Rome tours are for
Our Rome tours are suitable for first-time visitors who want a clear overview of the city, but also for travelers who have already been to Rome and want to go deeper.
Families often choose tours that combine major sights with short breaks, simple explanations and stories that work for different ages. Couples may prefer evening walks or panoramic routes that show Rome at quieter hours. Seniors appreciate slower rhythms and the possibility to sit during explanations. Business travelers, groups of friends or school groups can request tailored itineraries that fit a specific time frame.
If you let us know how long you will stay in Rome, your level of fitness and what you have already seen, we can suggest one or two Rome tours that make sense for your situation instead of offering a long list of similar options.
Practical information about our Rome tours
Most city-center Rome tours last between two and three hours. Some itineraries, especially those that combine multiple areas or include a museum visit, can be half-day or full-day experiences. Each tour description on the website indicates duration, meeting point, end point and level of physical effort required.
Tours run in all seasons, with adjustments for weather and daylight. In summer we tend to start earlier in the morning or later in the afternoon, when temperatures are more comfortable. In winter we make sure that outdoor time and indoor visits are balanced.
Languages are specified on each tour page. English is always available on our main Rome tours; other languages depend on guide availability on your chosen date. Group size is also clearly indicated: some tours have a maximum number of participants, others are offered only as private experiences.
Inclusions and exclusions are explained in a straightforward way. You will see what is covered by the tour price (guide, transport such as a golf cart or vehicle, possible tastings) and what is not included (for example, entrance tickets when they must be purchased separately).
Questions people often ask about our Rome tours
Many travelers ask whether our Rome tours are suitable for children or older relatives. The answer is yes, as long as you choose an itinerary that matches their energy levels. Golf cart tours and shorter walking tours in the city center are usually the best options in these cases.
Another common question is about accessibility. Not all areas of Rome are fully accessible, but we clearly explain in each tour description which sections might be challenging. For dedicated accessible Rome tours, we design routes with as few architectural barriers as possible and provide honest information about surfaces, slopes and facilities.
People also want to know how much they will actually learn. Our guides are instructed to avoid mechanical speeches. They adapt the level of detail to the group, mixing historical facts with context about modern Rome, so that you leave the tour with a clearer idea of how the city works today as well as how it developed over time.
Finally, many visitors wonder how many Rome tours they should book. For a short stay of two or three days, one or two well-chosen tours are usually enough to give you orientation and depth. For longer stays, you can combine an introductory tour with more specific experiences over several days.

What Our Clients Say

This was the perfect experience for a person, family, or group that specifically want the gladiator experience. Our tour didn’t start inside the Colosseum, it began with the ruins outside.… read more Pietro showed us ruins that we would never had noticed and showed us visuals of what the area would have looked like. The visuals he shared during the tour really made the history come alive. He even put up with my very tired and cranky son! My son did tell me that the tour was his favorite things we did on the entire vacation. I highly recommend this tour!

As an Airbnb employee, I get the opportunity to try experiences all over the world—and this one with Paolo was one of the best.
The Colosseum is a madhouse. Packed with… read more tourists, lines everywhere, and just generally overwhelming. But with Paolo, we skipped the line and walked straight in. That alone was worth it.
He managed our group of 8 like a pro—ages 10 to 80—with so much care and attention. He kept the youngest two totally engaged with wild stories about gladiators (lots of blood, which they loved), and made sure the oldest two stayed in the shade whenever possible. He even guided them to the elevators so they could avoid the stairs, which was so thoughtful. My dad even tried to take the stairs and Paolo gently persuaded him to the elevator. It was empathetic.
He’s the kind of guide who knows all the history but doesn’t make it feel like a lecture. Just a great storyteller, warm and funny, who clearly knows how to read a group.

Embora as informações compartilhadas fossem interessantes e ele demonstrasse conhecimento sobre o Coliseu, era evidente que algo estava fora do esperado.
