My name is Giuseppe and I am an Official Tour Guide in Rome and Tour Leader in Europe since 2003. I am positive, informative and entertaining. My passion is learning about history and telling stories in an engaging and fun way. As a Geographer I traveled the world and studied the world's dynamics. At some point, I wanted to zoom in and go into details about Rome, the city I live in. Also, I wanted to share stories about my amazing hometown and express my passion and enthusiasm for all thing Roman: scenic views, inspiring artworks, delicious dishes, gorgeous museums. I truly enjoy meeting people from diverse backgrounds and I still keep all the letters of appreciation I received from travelers all over the world while I worked as a Tour Leader in Europe. I appreciated when they mentioned how much fun they had while traveling and learning. For me, my job means being a part of someone's happiest holiday memories. Eventually all roads lead to… Rome, so there you will find me! Rome Licensed Tour Guide. BA in Geography from the University La Sapienza in Rome, with honors. Tour Leader in Italy and Europe since 2003 I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

Overview of your Rome tour

If you visit Rome for the first time, you cannot miss the 2nd Most Important Museum in the world. The cradle of Christianity and one of the most fascinating artistic collections. Michelangelo's famous frescoes in the Sistine Chapel will overwhelm you, leaving you with an indelible memory of Italian art. And all this by entering a micro-country, inside another country! Vatican Museums are CLOSED on Sunday so please verify the date before booking!

We had a tour of the Vatican with Giuseppe and it was an excellent experience. He is a very friendly guide, extremely knowledgeable, and explains everything in a very engaging and interesting way. He made the whole tour dynamic and entertaining from start to finish. You can really tell he is passionate about history and art. Highly recommended! Thank you Giuseppe!

Giuseppe was excellent and covered a lot of ground in just 2 hours. He was very knowledgeable about the Vatican museum and Sistine Chapel and skillfully guided us through mobs of people in a very crowded place. Highly recommend him if you want a quick overview tour at the Vatican.

Giuseppe is an expert at navigating the crowds to make your visit a breeze! The Vatican Museum is overwhelming but Giuseppe deftly drew a narrative through antiquity to the modern day. An excellent tour I would wholeheartedly recommend!
