Walk Like a Roman.

5.00What do you hope to have in a tour guide when you visit Rome? Alfredo not only takes you on journey of Rome, but he makes you feel Roman while doing it. Alfy will help you to walk as a Patrician, skipping Plebeian lines, and zipping by commoners who have spent time and money, waiting for hrs in miserable cues. Alfredo has a knack for connecting his clients with the history, and making the connections relatable in a modern term. Highly recommend Edan Walks. 10/10
Perfect!

5.00My husband and I had the absolute pleasure of touring with Alfredo for two days. We visited the Colosseum on day one and the Vatican museums the next. The wealth of knowledge Alfredo had to share made this a rich and meaningful experience. I simply cannot recommend him enough. Professional and enjoyable experience that made our trip special.
A truly authentic and exciting experience

5.0010/10!!! This tour is an absolute must if you want an intimate, authentic and exciting journey through the Vatican and Sistine chapel. Alfredo is so knowledgeable and friendly and he elevated the tour to feel like we were chatting with a friend rather than listening to an educational tour guide. It’s worth every penny and we we’ll definitely be recommending this to our friends and family as they visit Rome.
A great experience!

5.00I took a guided tour of the Vatican museums and the Sistine Chapel. It was a unique experience, full of beauty and charm. Museums are true treasures, and the Sistine Chapel is simply stunning. Alfredo's (Éden Walks) passion and knowledge made this experience even more special. It was a moment that will forever be etched in my memory.

5.00Alfy was a spectacular guide and really made us feel VIP. He has a super personality and makes you feel like you’ve always known him. This is the ONLY way to experience the Vatican (I’ve done the Vatican before without Alfy and it’s not at all the same).
Best private tour guide in Rome!

5.00The best private tour guide in Rome. Alfredo was not only patient, and accommodating, but he was extremely knowledgeable. We enjoyed our time and look forward to hire him again next time we are in Rome. Thank you!
