We are a group of certified tourist guides of Rome and its surroundings, and our enduring passion is to make it known to all.

We especially desire to promote unusual itineraries which we believe can be an added value to your stay.
This is the starting point of Aurea Roma Group Tours:
walks back in time to the rich and fascinating history of the capital of the Roman Empire, including anecdotes and legends; guided tours designed to discover the boundless cultural scene of Roman museums, the magnificence of Vatican City and Christianity in Rome and the most attractive destinations around Rome.
Aurea Roma was born from our love for the Eternal City and our willingness to showcase this wonderfull city.
Why “Aurea Roma”?
Aurea Roma’s logo and name are inspire by a precious relic of Ancient Rome (yes, we are also experts in numismatics!): the Aureo Romano (or Roman Aureus), a gold coin issued during the reign of the emperor Alessandro Severo in the III century AD, with an image of the Colosseum, universally recognised as the symbol of Rome.
