Welcome to ROME, THE ETERNAL CITY ! Dear Traveler, I’m Dino, a true Roman born-and-bred, with over 16 years of experience as a professional Tourist Guide. I hold a Ph.D. in History and a "cum laude" degree in Arts from Rome’s prestigious university, and I’m a member of the Rome Guides' Association. When you visit a foreign city, you want more than just facts—you want stories, charm, and insight that bring the destination to life. That’s exactly what I offer. With me, you’ll get the insider’s perspective of Rome, crafted with expertise, warmth, and a local’s touch. Why Choose My Tours? Over the years, I’ve merged my academic background (including research in the Vatican Secret Archive) with my love for the Eternal City to design tours that are as entertaining as they are informative. Whether you’re exploring Rome, Vatican City, or the surrounding gems of the Lazio Region like Tivoli, Ancient Ostia, Frascati, or Civita di Bagnoregio, every tour is personalized to your interests. My Credentials: Almost 1800 private tours since 2012 with ToursByLocals Almost 800 5-star reviews!! AWARDS: # Honored as the inaugural winner of the 'Golden Guide Awards 2025' in the prestigious 'Lifetime Achievement' category #1 in ToursByLocals’ global “Top 10 Busiest Guides” list multiple times (2013–2018) My interview for Travel + Leisure magazine : https://www.travelandleisure.com/hidden-gems-in-rome-from-tour-guide-11900285 What Makes My Tours Special? Everybody is unique with different interests, wishes, expectations and tastes! Rome (and its countryside) offers an endless variety of tours and I will help you plan your day according to your preferences and interests to offer you an unforgettable and one-of-a-kind true Rome's experience! My tours can last from 3 hours up to a full day and the PRICE depends on duration. The vast majority of my tours are walking tours cause I love to show you sights, as charming squares or picturesque alleys, that you won't see on the tour bus or by car, with me you can experience only PERSONAL TOURS! Even If I'm a Ph. D my guided tours are not "historic conferences"; I'm an knowledgeable, professional but also easy going, friendly and flexible guide and I believe that people during holidays also want to have fun, to discover new interesting things about the city, to enjoy a delicious and fabulous ice-cream, to taste an italian wine, the "amatriciana" or "carbonara", or to take the best italian espresso! Do not forget you are in vacations, having fun is a must!!! Don't' hesitate to contact me with your individual requirements to design your own perfect Rome tour! I would love, that when leaving Rome, you'll love the city and appreciate its wonders as much as I do. Rome offers something for everyone. Whether you’re marveling at the grandeur of the Colosseum, wandering through the Vatican’s treasures, or exploring the countryside’s serene beauty, I’ll ensure your trip is joyous and unforgettable. MAKE YOURSELF A SPECIAL GIFT AND COME TO DISCOVER THE BEAUTY OF ROME, THE ETERNAL CITY! A once-in-a-lifetime gift awaits: Rome, the Eternal City, is calling you! See you soon in Italy, Dino

Don't miss the great opportunity to discover the "Museum of the Museums"!! The Capitolini Museums are the oldest public collection of art in the world, began in 1471 when Pope Sixtus IV donated a collection of bronze statues to the citizens of Rome. During this 3-hours private tour, I will show you the prestigious art and archaeological collection made of famous pieces of classical statues and prestigious artworks such as the original version of the equestrian statue of Marcus Aurelius or the renowned bronze statue of a she-wolf suckling Romulus and Remus. The collection is exhibited in two palaces linked by an underground gallery: the 17th-century Palazzo Nuovo and the 15th-century Palazzo dei Conservatori , which house the Conservatori Apartment, adorned by 16th century frescoes, and the painting gallery (Pinacoteca) enriched with Italian and and foreign masterpieces (Caravaggio, Rubens, Reni, Titian and Tintoretto).
