Welcome to Walks in Rome, your guide to the treasures of the Eternal City.
My name is David Lown and I am an art historian from Cambridge, England.
Since 2001, I have lived in Rome, where I run private walking tours.
My walking tours are expressly aimed at travellers who want to avoid the over-crowded sights and experience some of the many other charms of this fascinating city. To book a tour, or for more information, please click on the icon below and send me an email.
Each of the walks is designed to last two hours.
1. Secrets of the City
On this tour we step off the beaten track and explore the centro storico, the historical heart of Rome, in search of some of the many hidden gems and curiosities that most people (including most Romans) fail to spot.
2. Trastevere
Trastevere, a picturesque and lively district, is home to some of Rome's finest churches, with treasures ranging from medieval mosaics and hidden frescoes to masterpieces of Baroque sculpture.
3. Ancient Rome: Off the Beaten Track
On this tour we step beyond the Pantheon and the Colosseum and explore some of the many other ancient monuments that have survived from classical antiquity, including the Theatre of Marcellus, the well-preserved Republican temples of Hercules and Portunus, the oldest bridge in the Eternal City, and the site of the most famous assassination in history.
