Ciao a tutti!

My name is Gianluca and I am a Blue badge Certified Rome Tour Guide, specialized in private tours. A lot of my clients and friends ask me why I chose to be a guide and my answer is very simple, Rome is a fascinating city full of surprises and magical corners and it would be a shame to keep it all to myself.

I graduated from 'Università La Sapienza di Roma', where I dedicated a lot of my studies to archaeology and art, and I soon realized that being able to be in tight contact with the streets, monuments and art of Rome was what I wanted to do.

I am very passionate about my city and I would love to be able to share my love for it with others. As a guide, I cover Rome and its surrounding areas. I can guide you through the main sites such as the Colosseum but I can also walk you through more intimate and best kept secrets of Rome.

I love what I do and I believe that a tour is more than just an explanation, it's an unforgettable experience, where you get the chance to blend in with your surroundings and its history.

Hope to see you soon,

Gianluca
