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
Enjoy an unforgettable day in Rome with seamless transport and expert guidance. A professional driver will pick you up directly at the Civitavecchia Terminal and bring you to the Eternal City (about 1.5 hours each way). Upon arrival, you will meet me and begin exploring Rome’s greatest masterpieces. Step inside the Colosseum, reliving the atmosphere of ancient spectacles, then admire the nearby Arch of Constantine. Continue through the Roman Forum, the vibrant heart of the ancient Republic, and climb the Palatine Hill, birthplace of Rome’s legendary emperors. After a quick lunch break, we head to the Vatican Museums to admire centuries of art before entering the breathtaking Sistine Chapel, Michelangelo’s painted wonder. Conclude inside St. Peter’s Basilica, a triumph of Renaissance architecture and spiritual grandeur. This tour blends convenience, depth, and unforgettable beauty in one perfect Roman day.
