TIMELINE

 † 2008 Eternal Tours Rome began
 † 2010 Built When In Rome Tours
 † 2022 Back to Eternal Tours Rome

 And here we are, remarkable Rome tours that are unique, experiences that reach beyond the Eternal City to Naples, Herculaneum and Pompeii, bookable on our Rome to Pompeii tours page, and day trips from Rome that reach as far north as Florence. We have our own tour guides, some activities are self-guided, and we work with trusted partners.

 Over the years, we created c. fifty tours and activities in Rome and elsewhere in Italy. In the fullness of time, these will all be bookable here. Day trips from Rome to Assisi, Orvieto, Velletri, Tarquinia, Viterbo and Spoleto just a few examples of what to expect.

 As we are the same team that built the first ever Rome football tickets website in 2006, we'll soon be offering Match Day Packages for fierce city rivals AS Roma and SS Lazio once again, but this time around it won't just be about the match, we'll include guided tours too.

 Hundreds of Rome tour operators and variants thereof have joined the fray since 2008, our year of inception. Back then, tours in Rome were curated, quality right across the board was extremely high, phenomenal guides and outstanding customer support was the standard for all of us.

 These core values have remained unchanged at Eternal Tours Rome. In a market and city that has become saturated, with overtourism getting ever closer, we set ourselves apart from competitors by putting dignity and integrity first, not profits.

 We help our city by offering more day trips from Rome than activities in Rome. We also focus on private tours and self-guided experiences rather than group tours, to reduce tourism impact on the ground.

 Plan your Roman Holiday perfectly by booking remarkable Rome tours with Eternal Tours Rome. Write on WhatsApp +48 788 55 1101 / call +1 339 225 9955 for more details, to book tours for large groups, or for answers to any questions you may have.

IMPORTANT!

 As writ large atop every page here at Eternal Tours Rome, and for very good reason, do not book tours and activities with corporate resellers such as Viator. These companies are faceless parasites with offshore call centres in developing countries such as India and The Philippines (cheap labour).

 They charge local tour operators 30% commission per booking they refer, and rely on people like you to click on their plagiaristic "Sponsored Ads".

 Never, ever click on them. If you do book from an advertisement or any link relating to "Viator", you have elected to damage local tourism directly by costing the operator 30% and forcing them to pay upfront for ground services on behalf of the corporate reseller you paid. Probably "Viator", could be Expedia Local Expert - funny, Klook or GetYourGuide. They're all running the same scam, far, far away from Rome.

 Always communicate with local tour operators, not call centre agents. They've never been to Europe let alone Italy. Support local tour guides, not rapacious resellers, and book with us, the original Romans.
