      Beautiful
      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!

      Colosseum and Forum
      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!!

      Fascinating, fun, perfect for families
      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!

      Fascinating, entertaining, thoroughly enjoyable
      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!

      Vincenzo - GREAT Tour Guide
      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!!

      Fantastic Visit
      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.

      Tour with Barbie - highlight of our trip to Rome
      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!

      Martina is amazing!!
      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!!

      YOU WILL REMEMBER THIS EXPERIENCE FOR LIFE
      If I would have had the possibility to rate it 7 I would have done it. Last night was an extraordinary experience of a fascinating tour in the most beautiful city in the world. The endless passion and knowledge of Rome by Vincenzo captures you and keeps you awake for five entire hours. You get so well connected with the ancient city that you have the impression that Rome belongs to you and you belong to Rome during this time. It is not just a waking guided tour, but much more. History is intertwined with curiosities, past is connected with present (and future), buildings with people, bad with good, … a roller coaster of knowledge and feelings.

      Palazzo Barberini with Vincenzo Spina
      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!

      Vincenzo was amazing!
      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.

      Spanish Steps to Pantheon
      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.

      Roman imperial Tour and Vatican Tour
      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!

    Our tour of the Capitoline museums brought to life the outstanding collection of the entire site. Vincenzo shared with us his knowledge, enthusiasm and detailed understanding of the artists, architecture, sculpture and history of the culture, giving us a deeper understanding of what we were seeing. It became exciting to see this historical collection through Vincenzo’s eyes. I only wish we had more time to see the entire city the same way. The tour was a memorable gift

    I focus my review on the guide, rather than on the things seen. In fact, Vincenzo was the added value to masterpieces (with him we also visited Villa Borghese) which speak for themselves, but which thanks to his performance take on new life. Vincenzo knows how to capture attention and keep it alive for two hours through a fluid, captivating narrative, full of anecdotes as well as historical-artistic references, supported by actorly gestures and mimicry that facilitate attention and make it alive and involved
    Thank you!

    We had an incredible and fun experience with our guide, Vincenzo. A truly private tour — we were lucky to go in the late afternoon while the museums were not busy and we had a spectacular experience. We cannot stress for you how fabulous Vincenzo was and is as a human. Run, don’t walk, to buy your tickets for the private tour!

    The museum already contains marvels of the tradition of Rome, ancient works that will take your breath away... but knowing them through Vincenzo's narration gives them an inestimable added value! Engaging, charismatic and well-prepared, he takes you to discover places and traditions not only of works of art but also of all of Rome! If you go to Rome and want to experience it to the full..... treat yourself to a visit with him... you won't be able to do without it!

    Rome is the most beautiful city in the world, but it would be impossible for us to see it again without Vincenzo and Martina! Their knowledge, their empathy, their emphasis on telling the story of the eternal city and its surroundings made our trips unique and wonderful. I strongly believe that anyone who wants to visit Rome should absolutely live this experience with them and even those who think they know the city well would be surprised by the details and fascinating anecdotes that are told by the guys at Rome Guides! Well done, well done, well done!

    In museums you usually wander around, look at everything and remember little, unless you are a researcher. This time, however, I had an experience that led me to relive the traditions, the stories of the preserved artefacts with an involvement I had never experienced. A guide who combines enormous competence with a great capacity for involvement. Highly recommended.

    Vincenzo is simply an exceptional guide. He took us (my wife and myself) on a wonderful journey through these precious museums. There is far too much to see on your own here, without a guide. Vincenzo takes you through the highlights and weaves in the history and politics of the day. He answers questions and adds humor and leaves you with even more wonder for the history of Rome. Brilliant.

    Martina gave three of us a private tour of the Capitoline museum. She was fantastic! Her knowledge and passion fir history was contagious. The stories for each artifact She highlighted made it possible for us to understand the significance and connection to history and current times. We felt that today's experience with Martina will help us as we continue our travels through Rome and Italy. Thank you Martina!

    For me a visit with Vincenzo always remains a guarantee. I was skeptical about the Capitoli Museums, but by choosing the private tour I must say that I truly appreciated the attention to detail in the explanations and the involvement that is always guaranteed. It made me love a part of Rome that hadn't aroused much interest in me. Always the best!

    I visited the Capitoline Museums with Vincenzo and I am extremely satisfied. His knowledge of art history is impressive, and he managed to make our visit truly unforgettable. He brought the artwork to life and engaged us with his contagious enthusiasm. Highly recommended the Capitoline Museums and highly recommended Vincenzo!
