Ciao! My name is Riccardo, I'm 37 and I was born and raised in Rome. I've been a driver-guide for 14 years now. I offer limo service for shore excursions, city tours, transfers. Your every wish will be fulfilled! My passion for art, history and good food will make your vacation memorable! I am very fond of art history and especially of the Roman era. I will know how to delight you with my passion for my country, especially Rome and its surroundings. My favorite archaeological sites are the Colosseum, the Pantheon, Hadrian's villa in Tivoli and the papal palace in Castel Gandolfo. My favorite food is Carbonara and the best place in Rome to try it is. . . At my house! :) Do not hesitate to choose me as your guide because I'm sure I have something more that distinguishes me from others! Owner of a fully insured vehicle with Limo Car Authorization (Ncc), driver's license. Professional Certificates (Iscrizione Ruolo and C.A.P.). I graduated in foreign languages (English). I am not a licensed guide and will not be able to guide you inside of the historical monuments. I will give you the most important historical information and tips from the vehicle.

Overview of your Rome tour

I was born and raised in Rome and I am very fond of art history and especially of the Roman era. I love living in Rome because every single corner, every single stone speaks of thousands of years! On this tour we will discover together some of the best sites in Rome - the Colosseum, Palatine Hill with its Emperor Houses, the Victor Emanuel Monument and many more. Do you know why one of these sites is called the "Wedding Cake"? Let's find out together. My favorite place in town and which I keep in my heart more than the others, is the Pantheon where about 14 years ago I met the person who would later become my wife!

Riccardo was awesome. We were disembarking from a cruise and he picked us up on time. We have been in Rome before so we wanted to see a few things that we had not seen and he planned the perfect day as we talked in the car. He even took us to a beautiful spot where we got to see the cannon going off at noon. Along the way he told us about Rome’s history and pointed out many things that we would’ve missed otherwise. We requested a restaurant for lunch that wasn’t in a touristy area and Riccardo delivered. Our lunch was perfecto!! He then took us to the airport at exactly the time he said he would. His vehicle was clean and comfortable. If you want someone knowledgeable, I strongly recommend a tour with Riccardo.

Ricardo was great!! Excellent communication via what’s app! He was on time picking us up He took us to all the best places in Rome and was knowledgeable and helped us secure all the advance and skip the line tickets! Those lines are scary, super long but we just walked right in! He even added a romantic stop overlooking Rome for our future son in law to propose to our daughter ❤️

Riccardo was communicative and patient as our disembarkation was delayed by immigration in Rome. Very knowledgeable tour guide and this made the tour fun and interesting.

Riccardo was so helpful in planning our day. He helped establish a timeline so we could maximize the sites we wanted to visit. Comfortable, clean and cool van for our party of 6. Great communication and so friendly and helpful.

Riccardo is a wonderful person and took us from the port - Rome - hotel. Our time in Rome was nice- the only disappointing factor was the we had all our luggage in his van. He was concerned about the safety of the vehicle and the luggage- so he stayed with the van -- because of this we were basically on our own, unless the van was 'in sight'. So we walked and visited some of the sites on our own, without his expertise as a tour guide.
