How to hire a private tour guide in Rome

A private guide in Rome costs from $90 per person for a few hours on a set itinerary, €225 per group for 2-3 hours on an itinerary of your choice, or around €720 per group for a full, eight-hour day of your choice with a professor or PhD candidate.

That last fee is actually not too expensive if you think about it—it works out to just €90.00 per hour. Or to put it another way, a family of four would be paying €180 per person for a full day with a guide.

(The other option, of course, it to sign up for a group tour with an established itinerary.)
