Rome is a special city! It\u2019s a city brimming with history, Roman culture, gorgeous buildings around every corner and enough pasta and gelato<\/a> to satisfy even the hungriest of appetites.<\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t matter if it\u2019s your first, second or zillionth time in the city, there are so many of the best things to do in Rome around each and every corner.<\/p>\n

Now, one thing I quickly realised is that there\u2019s always something I seemingly miss on previous visits (it always happens with bigger cities), which is expected but also terrifying if you\u2019re anything like me and want to experience every inch of a place.<\/p>\n

Without hankering on about my deep-seated love for Italy, I wanted to share some of the best things to do in Rome. You’ll love the city.<\/p>\n

Imagine what Airbnb does for accommodation; this is what GetYourGuid<\/a>e does for experiences via their free app (or website)<\/a>. You can peruse the best things to do in Rome via some really cool tours<\/a>. Best of all, they’re all arranged by locals, who genuinely want to share their love of Rome. This way, you’ll get to see all the best things to do in Rome on a schedule that suits you.<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve decided on where you’re visiting, you can search for some of the most unique, fun tours that range from the exciting to the hidden nooks you might not normally think of seeing in the city. After all, who knows the city better than a local, am I right?<\/p>\n

We particularly chose to explore Rome (again, back to that hankering love of Italy I have) with GetYourGuide due to how ginormous and somewhat overwhelming Rome can be. Honestly, every street corner seems to bring out another of the best things to do in Rome (which can be overwhelming), and so a local guide totally helped us prioritise better and make the most of our limited time in the city.<\/p>\n

As we had a few days in Rome, we knew we wanted to experience some of the best things to do in Rome as efficiently as possible. Of course, I had it to include mountains of pasta and gelato, too. It sounds like a running joke, but I swear I eat my weight in pasta whenever I visit Italy!<\/p>\n

After a little back-and-forth between Yaya and me, we pinpointed two hosts and tours with amazing feedback from other travellers and some cool things we wanted to try.<\/p>\n

Driving the city in a retro Fiat 500<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

One thing I\u2019d always wanted to do was to explore Rome in a retro Fiat 500<\/a>. I\u2019ve been obsessed with that car for the longest time, so that tour pretty much stood out to me straight away. What Minis are to Britain, the Fiat 500s are to Italy. It\u2019s so dinky and such a cute car that we just had to book this tour.<\/p>\n

Then, of course, there was the fact that our local guide, Emanuele, knew all the best things to do in Rome and the more hidden corners we might have easily bypassed.  Just make sure to book this ticket when visiting Rome<\/a> (and preferably in advance). Tickets can sell out at peak times. <\/p>\n

Eating across the city: A Rome Food Tour<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"What<\/a><\/p>\n

Our second tour was with a local Roman on an amazing food tour<\/a>, who promised to show us some of the best Roman spots for a scrumptious bite to eat<\/a> \u2013 how could I resist? After his amazing tour (which you can see here), I think I piled on an extra 5kg that I swear I won\u2019t be shifting for a good few months. Yum!<\/p>\n

Again, like most tours of Rome, book these tickets<\/a> as soon as you know your plans. <\/p>\n
