If you want a tour of Rome in English, where you can stop for a coffee, browse the shops and not miss the main thing, turn on the TouringBee audio guide. It’s a walk with a voice that knows where in Rome they built a staircase with someone else’s money and then rewrote history. A pleasant pace, interesting routes around Rome, and lively commentary without the museum tone make it a great alternative to a guided tour in Rome.

What’s in store for you?
- Who says a tour of Rome has to be like a history lecture? With an audio guide from TouringBee, it’s more like a walk with a smart mate who knows a few very strange but fascinating facts
- Which hill in Rome isn’t on your school list, but it’s where you should start your walk? See where the history of a city that might not have existed at all begins – and how a she-wolf saved the empire
- You’ll walk down a street where brand replaces brand, and behind every shop window there may be a museum or an embassy. Here you will drink coffee like in the XVIII century and shop without even entering the shops
- Understand why one Roman square was the site of executions and festivals, and why centuries later there is still a sense of theatre in the air
- Hear how the Romans entertained themselves in February and what their carnival has in common with lights, horse racing and… street fights
- How to distinguish real marble from painted marble, and why restoration in Rome more often resorted to theft than to purchase?
- Uncover the detective story of the rescue of an ancient altar and learn that in Rome you can freeze the ground for excavations
- Peek inside a basilica that from the outside doesn’t stand out, but inside it’s like a film set, with every column trying to trick you
- Understand how in the centre of Rome you can enter the territory of another country without even noticing it
- You’ll find yourself in a square where statues, obelisks and fountains from different eras are gathered together, and it all looks as if it was built according to a single plan
- Why the legend of throwing a coin into the fountain is not only about love, but also about the city’s economy
- Colosseum from an unexpected angle – why not only fought here, but also roasted meat, put temples and broke the market
- See the column that has served the film industry for two millennia and find out how it relates to your favourite films
Please note:
- The audio guide only includes the Rome itinerary, entrance fees are purchased separately
- Additionally, our author's audio guides of the sights are available for purchase
