About operator:

We founded Carpe Diem Rome in 2019 after finishing some seasonal work with local tourism companies. To be frank, they disappointed us. Their tours lacked excitement, quality, and adventure. We knew we could do it better. So we decided to change it, and make our mark as the best local tour company money could buy!


In the scorching summer of 2022, while everyone else was at the beach, we were in Florence (it’s a hard life) – creating and perfecting tours. We launched our Florence tours in the autumn, and with this came Carpe Diem’s Rome evolution into Carpe Diem Tours! Since then, we’ve crossed borders and oceans, adding Barcelona, Lisbon, London and Budapest to the list, and we’ve got our eyes set on even more!


Forget the tour groups. Join the locals and dive into the real Europe with our hand-picked experiences. The day is not ours; it’s yours. Let us help you seize it.
