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! The Ancient Rome section: Colosseum, Palatine hill and Forum will be our starting point. I'll show you reconstructions of Ancient Rome and explain how every single old stone can still tell a story. 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 a fantastic tour with Ennio! Our family of 5 (boys 25, 22, 18) did a full day tour including the Coliseum, Forum, Palentine Hill, Vatican, Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's. Ennio's strong grasp of history, personable manner, and terrific English helped us get so much more out of the sites we visited. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to other travelers! He loves what he does and it shows!

This is the second time we've toured with Ennio( 2023 and now 2025). He is absolutely the BEST guide we have EVER had. Not only is his knowledge WAY above anyone else , but you leave feeling like you are part of the family !!! There are not enough good things I can say and recommend about him. !!!!

Ennio was knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating. We had a long day due to the excessive crowds at the Vatican during the Jubilee and he handled it with grace. He was far more patient than we were!

We had a 7 hour tour with Ennio that covered the Colosseum, Platine Hill, Forum, and the Vatican. Unfortunately, we were not able to see St. Peters Basilica since it was closed due to the death of Pope Francis. Throughout the process, Ennio was very communicative. He is a very experienced guide and is quite knowledgeable. His English is very good and we had no problems understanding him.

Ennio is a fantastic and very professional tour guide. We were lucky enough to accidentally visit Rome during a Jubilee year and Ennio provided an amazing tour of the Vatican. We learned so much about the history of the church and the art inside. The Coliseum was incredible as well. But once again, it would not have been as good an experience without Ennio's knowledge and ability to navigate with ease. My husband and I spent 2 full days with Ennio last week and, if you've seen my other review, you know I cannot recommend him highly enough. Thank you, Ennio, for introducing us to your beautiful city. We love Rome and cannot wait to return someday.
