A journey into the past in Ostia Antica, with a local guide and transfers by Mercedes minivan

My name is Pietro, I'm a professional tour guide. I was born and I still live in Rome; over 30 years ago I married a Brazilian girl and we have three boys, I have dual passports and I have a degree in political science and a second specialization in ancient history. I have numerous authorizations to practice the profession, I am an authorized guide in Italy, a professional guide in Rome and into the Vatican, a specialized guide of the Colosseum archaeological park and I also have the authorization issued by the security authority to enter the port of Civitavecchia, the one where Cruise ships dock when they stop in Rome. I also own a latest model Mercedes Benz minivan, with all the options and comforts, which can accommodate up to 8 passengers, including the driver, and an electric golf car to move easily and ecologically through the wonderful alleys and narrow streets of my city so as to easily reach any tourist attraction. I also have a special authorization issued by the municipality of Rome which allows me to enter with my vehicles in all the areas of the city, including what we call ZTL (limited traffic zones), which include ninety percent of the historical centre. I consider myself lucky to have been born and raised in the city of Rome. Since I was a child, I spent many days of my youth in continual exploration of the most famous Churches, Museums, Catacombs and Roman historical sites, as well as the beautiful and semi-unknown artistic and historical jewels that Rome hides like a casket. All of which to this day continue to surprise and delight me, and many years ago I realized that my future work needed to encompass me sharing my love for all of these elements. So when I finished the University, I continued to study for another two years and I obtained the professional authorizations which later allowed me to transform my passion into a profession. Until my marriage, I traveled across continents and held many jobs, and today I am fully dedicated to being a tour guide . In my opinion my work is absolutely fantastic, and despite the years I continue to have the same passion and enthusiasm as at the beginning, I love empathizing with my clients, I love working for families, I almost always manage to find keys to interest the children, even the youngest ones (which I adore) and I think I have the sufficient experience to personalize every day of work following the personalities, desires, preferences and level of education of my clients, to try to give them what they they expect from me. In my career I have never worked with large groups, but only with small groups and families, also because I don't like Sharing Tours that don't allow me to do what I love most : give customers an unforgettable, unique experience, created and studied through the customization I mentioned earlier I proudly offer our clients a service based on years of experience and genuine love for Italy.
