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 is a perfect introduction to the history of Rome. It's an experience that you'll never forget especially because you're going to do it with Ennio, an authentic Roman guide born and raised in Rome! The tour starts in the morning at the Ancient Rome area visiting the Colosseum, Palatine Hill and Forum. I'll show you reconstructions of Ancient Rome and explain how every single old stone can still tell a story. The Renaissance and Baroque section of Rome will be our destination after a short break for lunch. I have a special connection to this place as it is where my Mother was raised! We'll visit the fantastic Pantheon which is famous for its fantastic dome made of concrete almost 2000 years ago, the Spanish Steps which is considered the romantic area of Rome. Our tour will come to an end at the most important fountain of Rome: the Trevi Fountain where you'll throw the coin and make a wish: according to tradition, you'll be back in Rome once again!

Ennio was a superb tour guide. We were traveling with friends who had never been to Rome, where my husband and I have been to Rome before. The historical facts and knowledge Ennio told us about the Colosseum, Palatine Hill, and the Forum were so interesting and extensive! We walked at a good pace, had a great pizza lunch and continued on to the Pantheon where he shared so many interesting details. Our final stops were the Trevi Fountain and Spanish steps! We all thoroughly enjoyed our tour and could not have asked for a better guide!

Ennio is very knowledgeable and gives a great tour of the Colosseum, the Forum, the Wedding Cake, the Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, and the Spanish Steps. I appreciated that Ennio was willing to come to our hotel and guide us to the right place. Lunch was also great. I would recommend Ennio to any one touring the major sites in Rome.

The six of us really enjoyed Ennio, another veteran Italian-born guide, who had his tour down like clockwork. We were able to squeeze in so many sites of Ancient Rome, including starting off with the Colosseum which was super busy, but he knew how to guide us through the crowds and was even able to stop and get a couple of great family pics in at the Colosseum. He also brought us to a great little restaurant for lunch and we also went to the Mamertine Prison, the Pantheon, the Spanish Steps and the Trevi Fountain. We walked a ton but it was a great tour.

Ennio was absolutely excellent. We've already passed his information along to friends. Could not have asked for a more knowledgeable or enjoyable guide. The day flew and he made it interesting from start to finish.

First of all a HUGE THANK YOU to Ennio for a fabulously informative, educational, and amazing tour of the Coliseum. My family and I learned so much from Ennio and his love of history and art shined through on this tour! We were very excited that Ennio was able to procure tickets for the underneath/underground area of this impressive piece of Italian history. Ennio's talks and information he provided to us about the history is as impressive as the Coliseum itself. A huge tHANK YOU !! Highly recommended.

Ennio is a wonderful guide. Extremely knowledgeable, sensitive to clients' interests, personable. What we really liked was that we engaged in a day long conversation about Rome where he took into account our knowledge and interests. We could not have wished for more. At the end of our day we felt like we had a new friend... and an enormous amount of knowledge about Rome. On the logistical front, Ennio was clear about what we needed to do, organized, accurate, punctual and respectful. Top guide!
