About
Real Rome Tours
At Real Rome Tours, we craft bespoke private tours for discerning travelers who want to experience Rome on a deeper, more meaningful level. Our mission is simple: to create unforgettable, personally tailored experiences that bring the Eternal City to life — just for you.
Who We Are
Real Rome Tours was founded in 2013 by Gerard Breen, a certified national tour guide with a passion for Roman history and a commitment to delivering meaningful, unforgettable travel experiences. Over the past decade, we’ve had the privilege of guiding thousands of guests through Rome’s ancient ruins, Renaissance masterpieces, and hidden corners — all while maintaining a personal, tailored approach to every tour.
We believe that Rome is more than just a city — it’s a living story, and the best way to experience it is with a knowledgeable companion who knows how to unlock its secrets.
What We Do Differently
While we’ve proudly offered group tours in the past, today we focus exclusively on high-end private experiences — crafted with the same care and attention that earned us the loyalty of so many returning guests.
Every itinerary is thoughtfully designed around your schedule, interests, and pace. Whether you want to explore the iconic landmarks or dive into the lesser-known treasures of the Eternal City, our private tours give you the freedom and flexibility to experience Rome exactly the way you want to.
A Personal Touch
Rome is a city of layers — of history, art, and life lived well. Whether it’s your first visit or your fifth, we invite you to explore it with fresh eyes and a tour tailored to you. From private access to the Vatican Museums, to hidden gems in Trastevere, to quiet moments along the Appian Way, we’ll guide you to the experiences that will stay with you long after you’ve left.
Your time is valuable. Your experience should be exceptional. With Real Rome Tours, it will be.
