Buongiorno! A very warm welcome from me, Marco P. I grew up in Rome, Italy, where I also studied and degreed in Tourism, Art and Languages. But my real education came around the world since 1992 I spent one third of my adult life living out of a suitcase in the Tourism field and it has shaped my thinking. I have been energetically leading tour groups through Italy and Europe for over a decade. I decided to become a local guide in my region, there is nowhere on earth as great as in Rome and its surroundings with all its history, culture, art, scenic landscapes and diversity. I am lucky to be a guide in the most fabulous city and proud to show it to you. Whether you are a first time visitor or seasoned traveller, as a qualified Guide I aim to help make your visit interesting and unique, through my skills both of entertainment and guiding to make any tour very enjoyable and educational. My tour include what's world famous but also what's less known. A less invasive type of tourism, with slowly paced tours, less crowded places - off the beaten path- whenever possible and special stops. I can suggest tours or help you plan that exclusive, individual and personal itinerary which is exactly to your liking (or dedicated to your interests), informative, and above all, fun. I guide you in Rome or further a-field into our superb countryside, visiting other fine towns, archeological sights and hilltop-villages. INSIDE & IN-DEPTH: I am permitted to guide inside Rome's major attractions. (Vatican Musuem, Sistine chapel, St. Peter, Roman forum, Colosseum, palatine Hill, Borghese Art Gallery, Villa Giulia Etruscan Muesum, Ancient Ostia, Tivoli Gardens, Hadrian Villas, etc) SOMETHING DIFFERENT: I can organize several activities, like cooking classes, musical evening, dinners, traditional folk shows, musical tours, classical music concerts, treasure hunts, vespa scooter tours, horse-charriots tours, golf-cart tours, bike or rollerblades tours and any kind of events (wedding, anniversaries and special occasions).

This Full Day Vatican Tour is the start of a mysterious and fascinating trip: a voyage across more than 20 centuries of creativity through which art and history intertwine, telling the story of what human ingenuity has created through the ages. Our tour begin just beyond a massive bronze door that, like magic, takes you out of Italy and into the smallest country in the world: the Vatican. There are priceless works of art here, collected by the popes or often expressly commissioned by them. The Vatican Museums are actually a sort of immense treasure chest stuffed with objects of unimaginable value: statues, paintings, tapestries, archeological finds, all exhibited in the same halls where popes, cardinals, ambassadors and kings once strolled, not to mention the greatest artists of the Renaissance such as Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael or Michelangelo. The visit is an incredible stroll through the history of art where you can meet the greatest artists ever, through their most important works.
You'll discover masterpieces in a sort of crescendo as you pass from one room to another, till we will step inside the Sistine Chapel which is without doubt one of the greatest art treasures of all time and t's the last stop at the Vatican Museums: - Etruscan Museum - Pinecone Courtyard - Gallery of Maps - Candelabra's Gallery - Tapestries. Gallery - Chiaramonti Museum - Animal Gallery - Muses' Room - Room of the Immaculate - Round Room - Greek Cross Room - Simonetti's Staircase - Room of Biga - Raphael's Rooms - Borgias Apartments - Sistine Chapel - St. Peter's Basilica, - Vatican Grottos - Square of St. Peter's - Mosaic Factory Contact me for customization. Note: prices for this VIP tour may be higher than those online, reflecting the bespoke service, expert guidance, and exclusive, hassle-free experience I provide for a truly exceptional Vatican visit.
