Ciao! My name is Ennio, a real Roman name! I was born and raised in Rome and I've been working as a tour guide for more than 20 years. I'm a fully licensed local guide for Rome and the Vatican city and graduated in art history at Rome university "La Sapienza". I offer all the tours of Rome from the Ancient Rome tour (colosseum, forums, capitol hill), Vatican tour (sistine chapel, vatican museums, st. peter's basilica), Baroque Rome tour (Trevi fountain, Spanish steps, pantheon, piazza navona) to the unbeaten tracks such as the Trastevere area (the real roman district also famous for restaurants, wine bars, cafes) or the Jewish section (an area with 2 thousand years of history). Or if you really are interested in art history I can customize tours focused on the most important artists that have been working in Rome (Michelangelo, Caravaggio, Bernini and Borromini). Upon your request I can customize tours that provide transportation from the port or the airport with a private car and driver, so feel free to contact me and ask questions, i'll be very happy to be your guide and new friend in Rome! So, ci vediamo a Roma!!! fully licensed local guide for Rome and the Vatican city since 20 years.Graduated in art history I am not a driver. I can arrange for a separate car and driver upon your request. I can arrange transportation also from the port and back for shore excursions upon your request.

Overview of your Rome tour

This tour is a perfect introduction to the history of Rome. The Colosseum, one of the seven wonders of the world, will be our starting point. I'll make you travel in time and take you into the Roman life at that time with gladiators, emperors, slaves and common people. Then we'll visit the Roman Forum, walking on 2000 years old streets and we'll discover how Romans spent their time during the day and their everyday life. The Palatine hill, where everything started 21st of April 753 b. c. , will be our next stop. We'll see the imperial palaces right on top of that hill. I'll show you one of the most beautiful views on the Ancient Rome section. One or the church in Ancient Rome area is where my father and mother got married and Colosseum was a perfect location for teenagers of my generation to have first dates! So I really have special connections with this area!

This tour was absolutely amazing. We had the best time and would certainly book him to guide us for tours of anything else in Italy. It is a shame that we did not meet him earlier as we would have booked everything he had to offer. Thank you so much. We would recommend him to anyone.

This tour was excellent and Ennio was so knowledgeable and helpful! Since it was a private tour, he was willing to modify the tour a bit for us so we could see exactly what we wanted to see. I highly recommend Ennio to others. He was so pleasant and kind. We are an older group of people so he understood our limitations as well. Thank you, Ennio!

We loved this tour with our guide, Ennio! After doing the Vatican tour with him, we immediately signed up for the Colosseum and Ancient Rome tour. It ended up being just my husband and me, and Ennio truly gave the experience a personal touch. He is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and an absolute pleasure to spend three hours with. It was clear that other guides and staff hold Ennio in very high regard. Because our group was so small, we were even able to access some areas closed to larger tours. We highly recommend this tour!

I cannot stress how much we enjoyed our time with Ennio. He was great and full of information. He made the day an absolute pleasure and we learned so much. Not only was his knowledge of everything we saw great, he was just a great conversationalist with everyone in our family including our kids. I cannot stress enough that if you need a tour in Rome Ennio is the person you should use!

Ennio was great! His english speech is very good - clear / very understandable. His knowledge of Rome is stunning - very impressive. His focus on us (two) was top notch. Just can’t recommend him enough. Thanks Ennio for a wonderful and memorable time!!!

Ennio really brought the ancient ruins to life for our family (two boys, ages 12 &1 4), pointing out small details that we would’ve missed on our own and making the history feel accessible, rather than distant and dry. He had a warm and welcoming presence that made the experience feel personal and engaging. He had a great depth of knowledge about the Colosseum’s history and was able to share fascinating facts and stories in a way that felt lively and captivating, not at all like a typical history lecture. Ennio took his time to answer all of our questions. The pace of the tour was great (even for our teens), and Ennio ensured we had plenty of opportunities to take photos and soak in the views. We left the tour feeling like we truly understood the significance of the Colosseum—not just as an iconic landmark, but as a symbol of ancient Rome’s culture and grandeur.
