Rome is an incredible experience; let's make this unforgettable I have a degree in art & history ( Ph.D. Rome - La Sapienza ), and an Official guide, but I am in the business for more than 20 years and I am following the family tradition of sharing experiences with my friends.

Overview of your Rome tour

Once in Civitavecchia you may want to see The Colosseum, Sistine Chapel, and Rome's beauty. . . Taking this tour with me means having a local who will describe and tell you all the facts and curiosities of these sights. The Colosseum: What about it? Why is it where it is? The Vatican: What about it? Why Rome is here and what it means to all of us. These will be some of the answers you'll get from me; and you will also discover food, wine, and History, that's what Rome is all about. Rome was not made in a day; let's break this myth with me.

We totally enjoyed our day with Max guiding us throughout Rome in a golf cart! We were picked up at the cruise port by Marichio and met up with Max in Rome. Both these men are truly the best. Max gave us all the info on the history as he zipped through all the major icons and left no stone unturned (no pun intended) we learned more than we ever read about and couldn't be more content with our day in Rome! Thank you Max and Marichio A+++

We had the best day in Rome with Max and still can't believe how much we got to see. Max brought so much energy, enthusiasm and knowledge to our day that he even kept my teenagers engaged and interested. I would book another tour with Max in a second, he provided such a positive experience of Rome that it will always be a special place for us. Grazie Max!

Max is a fantastic tour guide his hospitality only eclipsed by his deep breadth of knowledge of Rome. He was accommodating, entertaining and thoroughly enjoyable as a guide. You will not be disappointed in his tours, I will be recommending him to all of my friends and family.

Maestro in Italian is given to "a master". Max is the maestro of tour guides. Truly spectacular in every way. Knowledgeabe, helpful, funny, great photogropher always taking pictures of you. His choice for lunch was immensely enjoyable as was his company throughout the day. You cannot do better than Max. His driver Maricuo (so) was also fantastic. Rome is intimidating in one day. Max made it easy and we learned so much but also he made it real, human and once in a lifetime trip.

We visited in October of 2019. Our guide Massimiliano was fantastic. He provided an itinerary that was packed with sites, and interesting information. His knowledge of subjects ranging from history to religion were superior and interesting. We could not have hoped for a better day in Rome.

We (two couples) had a fantastic day with Max! He was fluent in English and gave us a great tour of Rome. No earphones, no headsets-just a wonderful speaking voice and a great sense of humor! If you want a good tour Max is definitely the guy! Thx Max!!
