About Us

What started off in 2006 as a modest hobby project between a young couple and a few hopeful tour guide friends has since developed into the front-running, award-winning Rome tour company we see today – What a Life Tours. In our 12 years of business, we’ve served over 650,000 satisfied visitors from every corner of the world whose reviews have consistently maintained our top position on Tripadvisor for things to do at the Vatican.

Though our team has grown exponentially since our humble beginnings, our top-quality family business approach has remained a strict priority. The foundation of our company is, and always has been, based on offering the best quality in tours and customer service – which is evident in the passion and professionalism of every What a Life Tours “family” member.

With a well-rounded team of the city’s top art historians, archeologists, and other experts on board, we’re able to offer a wide range of tours in and around Rome. Whether you are looking for a group tour or private tour, highlight hunting or wandering off the beaten track, or even requesting a personalized theme tour – we’ve probably got one that’s just right for you.

Each itinerary has been carefully hand-crafted in close collaboration with our expert guides to give our customers the very best experience at each and every stop. With our private tours, there is almost no limit to the flexibility and amount of tailoring that we can do to create your very own dream tour. Skip-the-line access to all sights is naturally the cherry on the cake!
