About Jojo

Roam Rome is run by Jojo, a Roman native based in Testaccio. Born and raised here, she spent years in the US working in design and logistics before coming back. That time away changed how she sees the city: the deep familiarity of someone who grew up here, and the perspective of someone who left and returned. The result is a planning approach that is specific, unhurried, and built around how Rome actually works rather than how it appears in a guidebook.

Rome is a city of layers. Three thousand years can sit inside a single walk: an ancient temple beside a Renaissance palazzo, a Baroque fountain a turn away from a contemporary café.

The city rewards anyone who slows down enough to notice it. A Caravaggio hanging quietly in a neighbourhood church. A mosaic tucked into a side chapel. A trattoria where the recipes have not changed in three generations.

Rome is in the details: stone, light, and the routines of ordinary days.

What Roam Rome does

Rather than tours or pre-set packages, plans are built around you: your dates, your pace, and what you actually want from the city. Some days lean toward art and history, others toward food and wine. Many weave both, with time left over to wander.

The method is simple: listen well, plan with care, and let Rome do the rest.

What guests say

Jojo built our itinerary around our actual hotel, our pace, and what we actually cared about. It felt nothing like a template. Rome made sense to us in a way it never had before.

Airbnb guest, 2025

What struck me was how well she understood what we didn't want. The plan had exactly the right balance, not too much, not too little.
