How your day could unfold
A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you mostWhat you’ll do
Think of this personalized shopping experience with one of our local Rome hosts like spending the day with a trendy friend, because in Rome, everyone’s trendy. You’ll shop, drink coffee and shop some more. Game changer: the city happens to be Rome, the mecca of Italian fashion where fashionistas flock.
You’ll flit from luxury boutiques and high-end designer stores to independent shops and flea markets where you’ll find incredible quality but affordable fashion. You could wander into tiny jewelry boutiques where every piece has been locally designed and handmade, or pop into stylish home decor shops of Trastevere.
Whether you’d like to uncover vintage bargains at a local flea market or browse independent stores and stroll along stylish shopping streets where you can find affordable but incredible quality, handmade leather goods, Rome has it all.
Shop until you drop - drop into the chair of a cobbled terrace for a spritz when the time comes for aperitivo, that is. Our host is here to share with you all the shopping hotspots of their city, at whatever pace you’re happy with. It won't be long before you feel like a true Italian fashionista.

Very interesting tour, part history. Large part shopping. Very good experience that we would recommend for those ladies like us who want to visit the shops but don’t know where to start. Thank you for your patience Indira!

Olga was incredibly helpful with my vision limitations. She was also FANTASTIC helping me choose outfits for myself once she had a sense of what I was looking for. And my price range. I also had a chance to practice speaking in Italian for much of the tour. I bought tons of dresses for myself and found gifts for my son and boyfriend. It was a great day hanging out with Olga and not feeling like a tourist!

Claudio was a very excellent and kind host who paid attention to my unique needs. He took me to boutiques that I never would have found by myself, helped me find pieces that work for me and gave advice for my style. We paused for beverages and for beautiful vistas of Rome. The pace was very good for me and we took care of everything on my list: gifts for family, something for the home, and many lovely things for me. I am not a great shopper. Prior to my afternoon with Claudio, I was not finding the kinds of shops that suited me. He gave me advice for any further shopping if I need it.

Claudio was a wonderful host who took me to the exact types of boutiques that I wanted. We covered everything on my list in shops I never would have found on my own. We paused for history and beautiful vistas while keeping a pace that was good for me. Claudio gave me good clothing advice and helped find sizes for me.

Our family took a Christmas Day tour around Rome with Andrea and had a wonderful time. Andrea was wonderfully friendly and highlighted points of interest that we would have certainly missed exploring on our own. She also helped us understand the history and context to better appreciate the beautiful city of Rome and many historical sites.
