Buongiorno! A very warm welcome from me, Marco P. I grew up in Rome, Italy, where I also studied and degreed in Tourism, Art and Languages. But my real education came around the world since 1992 I spent one third of my adult life living out of a suitcase in the Tourism field and it has shaped my thinking. I have been energetically leading tour groups through Italy and Europe for over a decade. I decided to become a local guide in my region, there is nowhere on earth as great as in Rome and its surroundings with all its history, culture, art, scenic landscapes and diversity. I am lucky to be a guide in the most fabulous city and proud to show it to you. Whether you are a first time visitor or seasoned traveller, as a qualified Guide I aim to help make your visit interesting and unique, through my skills both of entertainment and guiding to make any tour very enjoyable and educational. My tour include what's world famous but also what's less known. A less invasive type of tourism, with slowly paced tours, less crowded places - off the beaten path- whenever possible and special stops. I can suggest tours or help you plan that exclusive, individual and personal itinerary which is exactly to your liking (or dedicated to your interests), informative, and above all, fun. I guide you in Rome or further a-field into our superb countryside, visiting other fine towns, archeological sights and hilltop-villages. INSIDE & IN-DEPTH: I am permitted to guide inside Rome's major attractions. (Vatican Musuem, Sistine chapel, St. Peter, Roman forum, Colosseum, palatine Hill, Borghese Art Gallery, Villa Giulia Etruscan Muesum, Ancient Ostia, Tivoli Gardens, Hadrian Villas, etc) SOMETHING DIFFERENT: I can organize several activities, like cooking classes, musical evening, dinners, traditional folk shows, musical tours, classical music concerts, treasure hunts, vespa scooter tours, horse-charriots tours, golf-cart tours, bike or rollerblades tours and any kind of events (wedding, anniversaries and special occasions).

Marco is fantastic. His tour is perfect and such a pleasant guy. Thanks Marco
Marco did a great job taking us to all the venues that we wanted to see. He arranged for transportation to pick us up and drop us off at the hotel and shared a lot of history of the Roman life. Toured the Colosseum and numerous other ancient sites around Rome. His tour met our expectations.
Very knowledgeable guide. He is nice and makes the visit interesting. I needed him speaking Spanish and English and he was great in both languages. My only concern is about pricing. I found it very high compared to my other 2 tours (also 3 hours long and also very good ones). Not sure why to be honest.
We did two tours with Marco in one day in Rome. I may be echoing all prior reviews, but Marco is an absolute fountain of knowledge, which made for perhaps the most interesting and educational 3 hr tour I could imagine. He is such a pleasant and easygoing guide which made it that much more enjoyable. The colluseum and forum are certainly can't miss sites to see but having Marco show us around really helped us get the most out of our time there. You will absolutely not be sorry seeing Rome with Marco!
Marco was outstanding. What a nice guy and knowledgeable.
Marco did an outstanding job. Extremely knowledgeable. Managed to maneuver through the crowds and avoid long lines. Highly recommend.
