Ciao & Welcome to Italy Tours with Mauro! I have been involved in the Tour Industry for over 13 years now and look forward to sharing my Beautiful country, it's food, it's traditions and of course it's values on life with all of you. Before entering into the Tour Industry I had spent 15 years in the area of Italian culinary adventures. I have first hand knowledge to share with each of you regarding the different regions, their food, wines, cheeses and tasty treats on the side like olive oil, balsamic and the art of truffles! Not to mention the best Gelato in each hilltop town inside and out of Rome. I'm originally from the Eastern side of Italy on the Adriatic Sea, a region called Puglia. So I am no stranger to the best beaches, sea food and nature that Italy has to offer as well. I am young, energetic, fun spirited, honest and most of all always on time. I look forward to having an adventure with you and yours soon! 5 years as a Tour Director of Italian Tours for an American Tour Company based in Rome. 15 years in the Italian Food and Wine industry. I am not a certified Vatican Museum or Colosseum Guide.

I will share with you ancient tales and stories about the Gladiator's that were trained and fought their battles to stay alive, the Emperors who ruled the Roman Forum and the day to day Roman life all while you are taking breathtaking pictures. After the Colosseum we will enjoy a fabulous lunch on the terrace with a beautiful view of the Colosseum( 1st & 2nd Floor only included ) After lunch we will experience the Arc of Costantine and the Forum where the ancient roman political life thrived. You will walk on the same rocks where the Caesars walked. At the exit of the Forum we can walk back to the car and drive to your location after gelato.

Our tour with Mauro was fantastic. We had only a short time in Rome and Mauro really helped us make the most of it. We saw fantastic places inside and outside of the city and the day we spent with Mauro was the highlight of our visit to the area. He was so knowledgeable about all of the places we visited and we really appreciated the information and insights he shared. Mauro was also super friendly and a pleasure to be around. He gave us some great restaurant recommendations for after our tour and was kind enough to make a reservation for us. Mauro even gave us some tips on things to see and do in Tuscany -- which was the next leg of our trip to Italy. If you are looking for a great tour guide for your trip to Italy, I'd highly recommend reaching out to Mauro.

We had the best day with Mauro. We could not be happier with the entire day and the sites we visited. Mauro was so organized & was great at avoiding the crowds & keeping us from sweltering in the record heat while visiting the very crowded venues of our choice. He was a delight to spend the day with and we will certainly contact him again when we are back in the Rome area in future years.

We had the best tour of our lives. Mauro had planned our day perfectly and was so personable that we felt that just after one day with him that we were leaving one of our best friends behind. We had our 13 year old grandson with us and they hit it off right from the start of our day. When we return to Rome or this area of Italy again, we will be booking Mauro for entire stay. Mauro deserves 10 stars if were possible. We just can't say enough good things about our experience.

Mauro was simply perfect! We are a couple from Montreal in their mid 40s. No kids. We booked online in advance and we have no regret whatsoever. We definitely recommend this experience with Mauro to anyone who is looking to fully appreciate Ancient Rome's wonders. We are well traveled and this has to be one of the nicest travel experiences we had the chance to live. Mauro is knowledgeable sympathetic and also, his love for Rome and Italy's history is evident and contagious.

This was a brilliant tour!! Mauro himself is both personable and knowledgeable and really made our tour enjoyable. We set off at 0800 and were able to see quite a lot well before the day became crowded. Lunch, arranged by Mauro, was splendid! Really recommended.

Mauro was outstanding! We booked this online and could not have been more pleased. This was the BEST day of our whole vacation because of Mauro and his personal attention to our family (ranging in age from 14 to 75!). He quickly figured out our individual interests, took us to fabulous places in Rome that we did not know existed, and truly made the day completely enjoyable for all of us. I seriously cannot say enough positive things about Mauro and tours by locals. Recommended without reservervation!
