When in Rome, you might not want to just see the sights like everyone else — you might want to find the hidden gems no one outside of the city knows about. And that’s where I come in.
Discover Rome Street Art and More Hidden Gems in Rome
Since 2011, I’ve been writing about the Rome you won’t find in the guidebooks. Now I want to do more, become your Rome local guide, and show you the real city, from a local’s perspective, through private walking tours in Rome focused on street art, food, off-the-beaten-path spots, and everything urban.
As you might have noticed reading my Rome Urban Travel Blog, I can get easily bored of the routine. Therefore, my favorite tours are those tailor-made to your interests and passions.

Rome Street Art Tours: Itineraries
All tours are private and tailor-made to your interests and passions!
Rome Street Art Tour: The Eastbound Route Walking Tour
- 2 hours (2 pax min): 40€ per person
- 4 hours: 80€ per person
This street art walking tour explores the wonders of Eastern Rome, from the university neighborhood of San Lorenzo to the unique street art collection of the MAAM Museum. We will hop on and off the iconic tram 19, enter the squat buildings that are the very last bastion of Rome’s counter-cultural movements, and visit urban art galleries and street artists’ studios.
Each tour is tailor-made, the length is variable and so it’s the itinerary. Over the years, I customized the eastbound route by adding anything from vegan bakeries to radical bookshops, and from vintage shops to unique hidden gems like Rome’s urban lake.
Rome Street Art Tour: The Southbound Route Walking Tour
- 2 hours (2 pax min): 40€ per person
- 4 hours: 80€ per person
This street art walking tour explores the magic of Southern Rome, from the stunning murals in Tor Marancia to artworks hidden inside abandoned factories. We will walk through Rome’s former industrial area and discover how it has changed over the decades.
Each tour is tailor-made, the length is variable and so it’s the itinerary. Over the years, I customized the southbound route by adding anything from vegan restaurants to cemeteries, and photography exhibitions to unique hidden gems like the Centrale Montemartini.

Explore Rome with a local: me.
I’m a writer who is specialised in street art and graffiti. Since 2011, I have run the independent street art blog BLocal, which has been the media partner of important street art festivals around Europe. I create content for creative enterprises and museums, and my writing was published in street art catalogs and art publications.
I’ve been following Rome’s graffiti and street art scene ever since I was a child in the 1990s. Over the past decade, my interest has only grown as my career has evolved around urban art. From artist manager to gallery assistant, press office to researcher; most recently working as the Communication and Content Manager of Amsterdam’s STRAAT museum, this field has been an integral part of my life.
Showing you the city through my eyes is what I’m most passionate about.
