Guidekin's take

A tip based walk that tells how Rome grew from a republic into an empire, from Piazza del Popolo through the sites that marked its rise, with the guide paid by what you give at the end, rated 4.95 across 185 reviews.

The booking fee at €4 per person only reserves your spot, tips are not included. Infant seats are available.

In our comparison: #11 of 45 in Walking Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
