Vincenzo was fabulous! Not only was he extremely knowledgeable, but he was so engaging and kept everyone attention with his dynamic story telling!

Guide was phenomenal—so knowledgeable, passionate, and engaging. Hewent above and beyond to make sure every detail was explained in a way that made sense and kept us captivated throughout the tour. It was clear he had a deep understanding of the museum’s pieces, and his enthusiasm was infectious. I left feeling inspired and learned so much more than I expected. Highly recommend both the museum and the guided tour—it made all the difference!

Had a tour of the Colosseum and Roman Forum led by Vincenzo. He was really knowledgable about the history behind both sites and told it in such an enthusiastic and engaging way. Couldn't recommend less!!

Our tour with Barbi is simply fantastic. She is able to pack in so much information while keeping her audience totally hooked and with 12 yo boys, that is a not small challenge!we spent two hours in the Colosseum and even though we thought we already knew a lot given this was our 5th visit to Rome, she managed to surprise us with a whole host of fun, interesting and well researched facts that filled our conversations for the rest of the day. Also, her great energy without being pushy is absolutely contagious making for a memorable highlight of our 4 days in Rome. Thank you, Barbi!

Our guide Vincenzo Spina was an amazing storyteller who brought to life the characters and artwork of Villa Farnesina and the two beautiful churches, the basilica of Santa Maria Trastevere and ancient, later Baroque church of Santa Cecelia. Full of color and description, we were mesmerized for the 3+ hours. He had great restaurant recommendations, too! Highly recommend!!!

We had a wonderful 2 hour walking tour with Martina. We have had many tours all over the world with many tour guides and Martina was one of the best!

Our private tour with Vincenzo was absolutely the best tour we have ever experienced. Ever. Vincenzo was so knowledgeable and engaging and passionate about the history of the republic and the empire. He wove in so much information and really sparked a deeper curiosity in us. We will be back! And we will definitely do another tour with him.

Vincenzo was an amazing tour guide! He was very passionate about the art and was incredibly engaging! We learned so much on the tour with him, our only regret was not being able to book him for our Vatican tour as well! A true pro who is art savvy and knowledgeable, would recommend!!

We took a 4-hour private guided tour of the National Roman Museum and the Baths of Diocletian. Martina, our guide, was exceptional. For me, who has a greater background in history, but also for my companion, who does not have a deep knowledge of the subject. She was able to contextualize and give very interesting details, we went through the main works and lesser-known works but with very interesting details. It exceeded our expectations and I highly recommend Martina as a guide.

On our first trip to Rome with our 11-year-old son we were lucky enough to have found Barbie at the recommendation of a tour guide in another Italian city. We took a 3-hour tour of the Colosseum and the neighboring Parco Archeologico del Colosseo which was equally interesting. On this hot Roman day in July, the time flew by as Barbie regaled us with stories of the past and was able to give us the historical and political context to truly appreciate what we were seeing. It also helps that she is a mom and knew how and what to convey in order to paint a picture that would engage not just adults, but children too. As a tour guide, she was also able to navigate the line system and the Colosseum and park which kept our tour flowing, while those without tour guides were not so lucky. This is very important. You do not want to spend your trip waiting in lines or wandering around aimlessly! There is so much to see and without a guide we would have not been able to identify much of what we were seeing, let alone understand the importance of it. When I was planning our trip I felt strongly that group tours would not work for us since my son would be outside the predominant age bracket of the group. Now that I have had this experience, I would highly recommend it, even for couples or individual travelers because you can accomplish so much more, navigate better, and the additional expense is incremental when you account for the total cost of your trip. Remember: your time is your most valuable asset when you are traveling. We booked several months in advance with Barbie and I highly recommend booking as soon as possible since she is highly in demand and the tickets to the attractions must also be purchased in advance to coordinate. Thank you Barbie for an exceptional tour!

I cannot say enough about Martina and how amazing our tours were with her! We did the Vatican museum and St. Peter's Basilica as well as the Coloseum and Forum tours the following day. By the end, Martina was one of the family. Her knowledge, explanations and passion are unmatched. Her ability to keep us all on track and engaged was practically magic. There was even a part of the Vatican we wanted to explore further, she gladly obliged and educated us along the way. You can tell Martina put in years of study. Her kind manner and attention to detail was phenomenal. From coordinating months in advance, security tickets and clear instructions, she's the best. If you have a history buff in your group, go with Martina. You will learn so much more. Even the other tour guides would comment to us, "she's the best!" Well, we all agree!!

On June 1 of this year, Vincenzo took my family around the Palazzo Barberini in Rome. We had just gotten off of a long, sleepless flight and were thinking of calling off our plans, but I'm forever grateful we decided to power through because in doing so, I received the greatest museum tour I've ever participated in. After traveling across 3 European countries this summer and meeting with various tour guides, the guide whom I remember as the most engaging and entertaining was Vincenzo. Though on the verge of collapse from exhaustion that day, I found myself listening intently to his delightful stories of each painting we stopped before. I agree that El Greco is underrated. My favorite part was when he talked about the differences between two portraits of women painted by Rafael (how scandalous). I would have been clueless of the rich lore surrounding me and therefore less informed if not for our wonderful guide. I'll definitely be booking with Rome Tours the next time I visit Italy. Thank you so much, Vincenzo!

This tour was the highlight of our trip to Rome! The Palazzo Massimo is undergoing an external renovation but do not be put off. Vincenzo, out tour guide was lively, engaging and entertaining as well as providing an essential historical view of the many sculptures and paintings stored in the Palazzo Massimo. You really need to have a live guide to these museums as full of artifacts which cannot tell their own story as a live guide can. Thank you, Vincenzo for an informative but fun afternoon in Rome.

Vincenzo is a wonderful guide. Very knowledgeable about art, architecture, and history. Informative and entertaining. We never felt rushed and he adjusted the pace to our needs. He did an excellent job of helping us through crowds. We would highly recommend him. In three hours we received an excellent introduction to Rome.

My daughter and I had two tours with the same guide, Martina, she was beyond lovely and spoke very fluent and ease to understand English. We went to the Roman Forum and the Vatican with her. It was so incredible and informative. She was very patient and understanding. Also incredibly well prepared. My daughter happens to be a big fan of history along with myself and she was asking our guide all types of questions, some not even relevant to our location 🤭 but every question was answered with equal enthusiasm. Would 110% recommend this tour it was worth every cent and more. And absolutely ask for Martina!
