Ciao! My name is Joe and I am a licensed tour guide in Rome and Vatican city. I'd be very happy to show my beautiful city and take you to unique places Rome has to offer! Welcome to my city, Rome. Bienvenidos a mi ciudad, Roma. I was born in Argentina to an Italian family. In addition to Argentina and Italy, I've been living also in the United States and in Finland. Even though I have been living abroad for quite many years, Rome and Italy have always been closest to my heart. My background in working as a tour guide is very versatile. I started tour guiding in 2007. I have been making tours to private groups, big and small, for example, families with kids, couples and friends. In addition to private groups, I have been working also for cruise companies and for travel agencies. For Rome and Vatican City, I have ready planned tours and we can also plan a tailored tour according to your own interests. I'm also available for shore excursions, excursions in the nearby cities of Florence and Naples or any other city in southern Italy. I like working as a tour guide because I have a chance to meet many people from all over the world. I always look forward to sharing my knowledge and passion for art, history and food culture. I also enjoy travelling myself and my aim is to make everyone's tour as comfortable as possible. My guiding languages are Spanish, English and Italian. Feel free to contact me for any information you may need! Licenced Tour Guide Vatican Museums Guide Licence

It's a place of great historical and cultural significance, and I'm excited to share its story with you. On my Colosseum tour, I'll provide a detailed and fascinating history of the Colosseum, from its construction in the 1st century AD to its use as a gladiator arena and later as a venue for public events. In addition to the Colosseum, I'll also take you to some of the nearby sites, including the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill. These places are integral to the story of Rome and offer a unique glimpse into the city's past. Tickets are not included, please ask if you want I buy them for you.
