Tailor-Made Travel

Private & custom Rome tours, designed around you.

Rome layers three thousand years into a single walkable city — the Colosseum and the Forum, the Vatican's basilica and galleries, Baroque fountains, and the trattorias of Trastevere. It rewards a guide who can skip the lines and tell you what you're looking at.

Every Hamilton & Chase Rome tour is private and fully custom. From skip-the-line Vatican and Colosseum access to a luxury Rome vacation of rooftop hotels and after-hours museum visits, we build it around you — with private guides, drivers, and the restaurant tables that are hard to get. Rome pairs naturally with Florence, the Amalfi Coast, or Tuscany. The best time to visit Rome is spring and autumn, avoiding the summer heat and crowds.

Good to Know

Rome tours — your questions answered

What is the best time to visit Rome?

Spring (April to June) and autumn (September to October) are the best times to visit Rome — warm and walkable without the July and August heat and crowds.

How many days do you need in Rome?

Three to four days covers the Vatican, the Colosseum, and the historic center at a comfortable pace, with time for Trastevere or a day trip to Tivoli or Pompeii.

Are your Rome tours private and customizable?

Yes — every Rome tour is private and fully custom, with skip-the-line access to the Vatican and Colosseum, private guides, and the restaurant tables that are hard to book on your own.

How do you get around on a Rome tour?

Rome's center is best explored on foot with private guides; we provide a private driver for transfers and day trips, so you never need a rental car in the city.
