Our Amazing Family

Step into the enchanting world of history and culture with Walks Inside Rome! Prepare yourself for an extraordinary journey through the timeless streets of the Eternal City, where every step reveals secrets from the past and illuminates the present. Walks Inside Rome is more than just a tour company; we are story-tellers, curators of unforgettable moments and your getaway to an immersive exploration of Rome’s wonders. Born over 30 years ago from the passion and love for Italian culture, beauty and art, Walks Inside Rome was founded by the dynamic duo, Marilena and Salvatore Barberi. Having spent decades as dedicated tour guides, they envisioned a way to share an unparalleled perspective of Rome, infusing each experience with their boundless enthusiasm and dedication. In the past three decades, Walks Inside Rome has grown to be one of the leading tour operators in the city, thanks to the expertise and passion of our guides who are experts in Italian culture. We constantly design new experiences that help you discover not only the main touristic attractions of the city but also take you off the beaten path to discover the Eternal City in a way that few tourists get to experience. Coming from a family of chefs who for decades owned a famous restaurant in Rome, In Rome Cooking has been found as a way of continuing the legacy. Counting three cooking schools, two in the heart of Rome and one at the Pope’s summer residence in Castel Gandolfo, we aim to provide an unforgettable culinary journey that celebrates the essence of Italy. Lastly, to experience more in deep the Eternal City, Secret Garden Inn is our luxury apartment, located just a stone’s throw from the Spanish Steps.
