Hi! My name is Matteo, born and raised in Rome on March 20th, 1991. I’ve been working as a tour guide since I was 25, combining my love for travel and history with the joy of sharing stories. I studied Languages and Cultural Mediation, as well as History, which deepened my understanding of communication, cultures, and the ancient world around me. Growing up surrounded by ruins and timeless art sparked my curiosity for the past and shaped the way I see the world today. Guiding people through my city isn’t just a job—it’s a way to connect cultures, exchange experiences, and keep history alive every day. If my calendar appears unavailable, please contact me anyway. I can organize private transportation by private car and driver. I provide pick-up and drop-off at the hotel or port via the driver. I’ll meet you at the meeting point. For easy communication on the day of the tour, I suggest downloading WhatsApp on your smartphone.

Overview of your Rome tour

Experience the very best of Rome in one unforgettable day, combining art, faith, history, and vibrant city life. Begin at the Vatican Museums, home to priceless masterpieces, and step into the awe-inspiring Sistine Chapel to admire Michelangelo’s ceiling. Continue inside St. Peter’s Basilica, the heart of Catholicism, before taking in the grandeur of St. Peter’s Square. From Vatican City, enjoy a taxi transfer to the Pantheon (taxi cost at your expense) and explore this perfectly preserved ancient temple from the inside. Take a relaxing lunch or gelato break, then head to Venezia Square, the city’s lively crossroads. Walk along the historic Fori Imperiali street, surrounded by ancient ruins, and conclude your journey with an immersive visit inside the iconic Colosseum, symbol of the Eternal City.
