Frequently Asked Questions
Our tours run rain or shine, and we do our best to proceed even in light or intermittent rain. We recommend dressing appropriately and bringing a raincoat or umbrella if rain is forecast.
We will only cancel a tour if the weather poses a genuine safety risk. In such cases, we will notify you by email and SMS—ideally with as much notice as possible, though sometimes conditions require decisions as late as 60 minutes before the start time. If we cancel, you will receive a full refund.
Not at all. You don’t need a design degree to enjoy our tours. We talk about the city through the lens of architecture, but without jargon or exclusivity.

Yes! We can help you create the perfect gift. Our gift cards are redeemable for any of our tours and can be customized for special occasions.
We get it. These aren’t typical tours. They are created by architects and designers who spend their days studying the city—and their weekends walking through its layers.
Our tours are part research project, part passion project. They are critical, joyful, and full of ideas—not trivia. We explore the politics, history, and design thinking that shape the city today.
Think of them as conversations in motion, informal but informed. It’s like taking a crash course in architecture, urbanism, and culture—with people who care deeply about the places we walk through.
Not particularly, but you should be comfortable walking for a couple of hours. We try to keep routes accessible and inclusive, but good footwear is essential. In summer, expect Rome’s famously hot weather—bring water and dress accordingly.
