Ciao! My name is Ennio, a real Roman name! I was born and raised in Rome and I've been working as a tour guide for more than 20 years. I'm a fully licensed local guide for Rome and the Vatican city and graduated in art history at Rome university "La Sapienza". I offer all the tours of Rome from the Ancient Rome tour (colosseum, forums, capitol hill), Vatican tour (sistine chapel, vatican museums, st. peter's basilica), Baroque Rome tour (Trevi fountain, Spanish steps, pantheon, piazza navona) to the unbeaten tracks such as the Trastevere area (the real roman district also famous for restaurants, wine bars, cafes) or the Jewish section (an area with 2 thousand years of history). Or if you really are interested in art history I can customize tours focused on the most important artists that have been working in Rome (Michelangelo, Caravaggio, Bernini and Borromini). Upon your request I can customize tours that provide transportation from the port or the airport with a private car and driver, so feel free to contact me and ask questions, i'll be very happy to be your guide and new friend in Rome! So, ci vediamo a Roma!!! fully licensed local guide for Rome and the Vatican city since 20 years.Graduated in art history I am not a driver. I can arrange for a separate car and driver upon your request. I can arrange transportation also from the port and back for shore excursions upon your request.

Overview of your Rome tour

This tour will be an incredible experience and a journey through the secrets of Rome with a real Roman guide born and raised in Roma: Me, Ennio! We'll start from the centre of Rome discovering the Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps and the Pantheon, walking through the narrow streets of Rome which still reminds centuries of history. After a short break for lunch, we'll move to the smallest country in the world: the Vatican, so connected with the history of Rome. We'll visit the Vatican museums, Sistine chapel and the Basilica of St. Peter. I am an art historian specialized in the Renaissance period so we'll focus on incredible artists like Michelangelo and Raffaello.

We had the pleasure of touring Rome with Ennio, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. He was extremely knowledgeable about every site, sharing fascinating insights with the perfect mix of detail and storytelling. Ennio was wonderfully flexible, adjusting the tour to handle large crowds and the intense heat so everyone stayed comfortable. He anticipated our questions and offered entertaining, insightful explanations that enriched our appreciation of classical Rome. Ennio was exactly where he said he’d be, right on time, and coordinated perfectly with our driver. We highly recommend Ennio for a personalized, unforgettable tour of Rome!

Ennio was the absolute BEST guide we had on our trip. We used ToursbyLocals at every port, and Ennio EXCEEDED our expectations. He made modifications to meet our needs, wishes, and schedule in Rome , He was prompt, thorough, clarifying of the tour logistics even before meeting for the tour. His knowledge was excellent - there wasn't a question from any of the 6 in our group that he couldn't thoroughly answer. In a word, Ennio is PHENOMENAL - LOVED his tour and would use him again. HIGHLY RECOMMEND !!!

We enjoyed an exceptional day in Rome with Ennio. He navigated us to so many of the highlights, skipping the long lines. We appreciated his historical knowledge, which enriched our visit to Rome. We would highly recommend this tour and the individual attention Ennio provides.

Ennio was excellent. From the moment we met him until the evening when we left, he was a brilliant guide, and a lovely man to spend a day with. He was full of wisdom and information on our planned trip, and accommodated us, when we needed to change something. There was nothing Ennio didn't seem to know about the wonderful city we have just visited and we can't rate him highly enough. Thank you
