My name is Sabino, I am 57 years old and I was lucky enough to have been born and raised in the Historical Center of the Eternal City founded by Romulus in the eighth century BC. I still remember with great nostalgia the old days when I spent hours with my friends playing in the Colosseum Valley. II have 2 beautiful daughters: with whom I share the passion for Art and for our city's history. This passion was handed down to me by my father, who since the first post-war period, offered tourist services to the first European and Overseas visitors. At the end of my high school studies I enrolled in the faculty of law which I completed successfully .The following year, thanks to my father's suggestions, I obtained an authorization from the municipal administration of Rome for the operation of touristic car services within the historic center of Rome with luxury vehicles. During my university studies in Roman law, my passion for the History of Ancient Rome and Roman civilization was rekindled in me. After finishing University I attended courses in ancient History, Art History and Archaeology. I became a Licensed Tour Guide in Italy, Rome and The Vatican. The passion for my city had taken over my qualification in Law. I am still in love and passionate about my city and I love sharing this privilege with visitors from all over the world. Despite over 30 years of profession, my city still excites me today and I maintain the same enthusiasm and passion in transmitting, everything I've learned, and still love to share these experiences of mine to tourists from all over the world and of all ages.

Huge thank you to Sabino for his amazing personalized tour of the eternal city. As soon as we stepped off our cruise ship, Sabino was waiting there with his roomy Mercedes van to take my party of four (including an elderly disabled woman with a walker) on an incredible eight hour tour. Sabino’s encyclopedic knowledge of history, religion, art, architecture, politics, and human nature, along with his humor, made for a fascinating and entertaining day. He drove us around the entire city, to all of the major sites and hidden gems. Along the way, we stopped for coffee and pastries at a neighborhood bar, mingled with locals, and then hit some iconic spots for photos. Sabino drove us through areas and piazzas inaccessible by most cars so we could get the vibe from the many neighborhoods. The benefit of the overview is that we identified which areas we wanted to return to the next few days that interested us. I highly recommend Sabino if you want to experience Rome in a day so you can maximize the rest of your trip and focus on the sites that really interest you.

Fabulous Tour from Sabino!!! He promptly picked us up from Civitavecchia cruise port holding a sign with our name. From the minute we got in his Mercedes van he was very engaging and had a fabulous sense of humor. Upon arriving to Rome, Sabino brought us to a little coffee place to get a beverage and a treat to start our day. He was extremely knowledgeable of ALL the landmarks in Rome and made the tour enjoyable with his efficiency and dynamic personality. Sabino also booked an authentic Italian lunch location for us….. the food and experience was amazing! This tour will undoubtedly be one of our best memories!

Four of us booked this tour following our Viking cruise. Sabino picked us up on time at the ship dock and gave us a wonderful tour of Rome. He was accommodating with our hotel and dropping off our luggage and taking us back to our hotel. He was very knowledgeable and professional with his tour and he certainly knows the roads! Thank you Sabino for making Rome one of the most enjoyable parts of our tour of Italy!

I researched several TBL guides in Rome before deciding to use Sabino. From the moment we met until we departed, everything was wonderful. His attitude, his vehicle, his refreshments and different views of Rome were beyond comparison. We have visited before, but this time we had our granddaughters with us and he did everything to give them a wonderful first impression of Rome, the sites and its people. He has such positive energy throughout the day that us smiling, and everlasting memories of our time with him. If you read this review, you can be very comfortable choosing him as your guide in Rome. He will not disappoint you and we have nothing but the finest compliments to praise him.

We had a fantastic Rome highlights tour with Sabino! He arrived at the cruise ship port right on time made great time in getting us into Rome. He shared a wealth of knowledge about Rome as we toured the city. The day was planned out perfectly, allowing us more time at certain stops when requested. His expertise at navigating the city meant less time in traffic and more time to enjoy the sites. If you are on a cruise ship just for a one day stop in Rome, this is the perfect tour..
