Welcome to ROME, THE ETERNAL CITY ! Dear Traveler, I’m Dino, a true Roman born-and-bred, with over 16 years of experience as a professional Tourist Guide. I hold a Ph.D. in History and a "cum laude" degree in Arts from Rome’s prestigious university, and I’m a member of the Rome Guides' Association. When you visit a foreign city, you want more than just facts—you want stories, charm, and insight that bring the destination to life. That’s exactly what I offer. With me, you’ll get the insider’s perspective of Rome, crafted with expertise, warmth, and a local’s touch. Why Choose My Tours? Over the years, I’ve merged my academic background (including research in the Vatican Secret Archive) with my love for the Eternal City to design tours that are as entertaining as they are informative. Whether you’re exploring Rome, Vatican City, or the surrounding gems of the Lazio Region like Tivoli, Ancient Ostia, Frascati, or Civita di Bagnoregio, every tour is personalized to your interests.

My tours can last from 3 hours up to a full day and the PRICE depends on duration.

Even If I'm a Ph. D my guided tours are not "historic conferences"; I'm an knowledgeable, professional but also easy going, friendly and flexible guide and I believe that people during holidays also want to have fun, to discover new interesting things about the city, to enjoy a delicious and fabulous ice-cream, to taste an italian wine, the "amatriciana" or "carbonara", or to take the best italian espresso! Do not forget you are in vacations, having fun is a must!!! Don't' hesitate to contact me with your individual requirements to design your own perfect Rome tour! I would love, that when leaving Rome, you'll love the city and appreciate its wonders as much as I do. Rome offers something for everyone.

Overview of your Rome tour
This is private tour aims to celebrate the Apostole St. Paul, one of the leaders of the first generation of Christians. Our first destination will the Abbey of the "Three Fountains", where according to the ancient Christian tradition the head of St. Paul, after the beheading, bounced three times, giving rise to three sources of water. Here we will visit the churches: SS. Vincenzo and Anastasio, S. Paul at Three Fontains, S. Maria Scala Coeli. After many centuries, the Abbey seems to be set into a surreal atmosphere distant past yet, in thesilence and the green of a mystic place where the time is marked by the tolling of bells. We will conclude our tour with the visit of the Basilica of St. Paul Outside the Walls, a special place where is the tomb of the Apostole. The Basilica was first built on the Via Ostiense in 324 by Emperor Constantine the Great, and while it was destroyed and restored over the centuries, it still remains there, enriched by stunning artistic treasures!
