We really enjoyed our day in the small villages of Anguillara Sabazia and Calcata Vecchia after several days in busy Rome. Matteo was an excellent guide and very accommodating. He picked us up at our hotel and dropped us off in the Jewish Ghetto per our request. I highly recommend this day tour.Excellent Respite from the City

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Matteo. We did a fair bit of hill climbing but it was all so worth it for the incredible view of the city from up high and rewarded ourselves with incredible gelato on the way back down! He was great with our 7 yo and thankfully the promise of a sweet treat did the trick. Grazie Mille Brilliant tour of Trastevere

Matteo knows this part of Rome quite well. He knew all the best street corners and architectural elements and how to photograph them. He was able to design the walk with emphasis to my interests - that being street photography. He is also very knowledgeable regarding technical details of photography and will give you useful insights to the extent you want them. In summary, it was great way to photograph a unique part of Rome. A walk through Transvere

Matteo is an easygoing friendly bloke whose love of Roma is evident. We strolled the streets of Trastevere, keeping an eye out for likely photographs, & chatting. He helped me to see what the leading lines might be in photos of buildings & together we looked out for light & shade. In terms of photography, it was a very useful 3 hours & got me off my lazy iPhone & onto the camera. I could have spent the whole day wandering the backstreets of Roma with Matteo. Thank you. A memorable morning in Trastevere

This was such a precious memory for us during our visit to Rome. The walk around the neighbourhood with Matteo was such an eye opener. We learnt so much from Matteo — from photography tips to the history of the place and the local life and food of the people. Matteo taught us how to factor lighting in, which resulted in awesome photos. He gave us tips on photography which we will definitely use from now on. The local cafe with pasta, pizza and fried breaded rice croquettes (suppli) were delicious! Will definitely recommend Rome Photo Walk with Matteo 😊👍Awesome Walk with Matteo

Matteo has been amazing to connect and work with during our trip to Rome. We asked him to offer something unique, a photo shoot with our daughter, and he has been responsive, communicative, and open to ideas and our input throughout the process. We had such a good time and our family now has memories forever through the photos he took. I cannot recommend highly enough!Memories Forever

We had a great walking tour with Matteo! He was knowledgeable about the neighborhoods history and brought us to local stores where we got to taste a variety of local foods, meat, cheese and Pastries. He was very personable and gave other recommendations on dinner after and must see sites. Trastevere expert

This day was honestly a highlight of our trip! Matteo was so thoughtful, and really let us jump into life as a local! We had amazing views, stopped and got some great local snacks and a pick me up coffee, and lively conversation all before even reaching Calcatta. Once we arrived, it was like going back in time and stepping into a local’s life there. No tourists or big gimmicks, just art, scenery, hidden restaurants and cats popping in and out of the alleys. The architecture is so cool, but definitely recommend wearing good shoes as you trek up those steps and dip into alleys. Gorgeous views are everywhere! The only reason I’m willing to spill the secret is because Matteo deserves the recommendation! 10/10Awesome time in Calcatta!

My wife and I did a food tour with Matteo and had a great time. We went to all sorts of little spots we would have not known to try on our own. Matteo was wonderful company and had lots of local knowledge. We were very full and happy at the end of our tour. You obviously want to see the main tourist attractions when in Rome, but this tour was one of the highlights of our visit. Lots of fun and lots of food

Matteo was awesome with my 6-year-old. It was one of the highlights of our trip. I initially expected just a few cool photos, which we got, but we also had an absolutely delightful time. This was true even considering the unexpected trip to the pharmacy for my daughter's massive nosebleed. Matteo is a kind person and passionate about his work. Highly recommended!Matteo, Great with kids!

We had a great day traveling to Calcata with Matteo. We had interesting conversations with Matteo about life in Rome and Italy and got along great with Matteo. We were disappointed that the town was pretty closed down the day we went on the tour. I would have moved around our tour schedule had we known this in advance, and we feel that our guide should have known this and perhaps advised us in advance since we booked months in advance. Despite this we had a great day with Matteo but a less flexible client may have been upset and disappointed to not see Calcata in full swing. We made the best of it and Matteo did great with finding alternative spots for lunch, as well as giving us choices to do lunch back in Rome so we give high marks for being fluid! Thank you!Exciting day outside of Rome!

We really enjoyed the 3 hour walk with Matteo! He showed us the famously squares, hidden churches and the small streets of Travestere. He told us all about the history of the city, and how to get the perfect pictures: how to play with the sunlight and shadows and how to frame details. And above all, he is very friendly! We would really recommend him as a guide. Perfect combination!

Matteo met me in Rome for a three hour experience in photography. He was able to share places in Rome that I would never have found myself. We explored a parts of the city that the local people enjoyed. Magnificent churches, philosophy of photography discussion, use of light, photographing people, how to tell a story, visiting a fabulous cafe and even a delicious biscuit shop with biscuit cooking while we were there. I am so glad that I spent my time with Matteo.Delightful 3 hours

I had a very rewarding photography experience with Matteo. He taught me many new ways of taking memorable pictures. In the past I only photographed landscape, however after my guided photography tour I am now able to expand my knowledge and will now include city pictures to include people. Matteo, thank you for sharing your knowledge. ROME PHOTO OP

My friends and I truly enjoyed our time with Matteo exploring the streets of Travastere in Rome. He is a wonderful, warm person who is a delightful photographer - both from creative and technical perspectives. He is great at making the personal connection to the people he is guiding. In our group we had both beginner and more advanced photographers and he was able to provide each of us a great experience. We met him at 5pm and ended the tour at 8pm - this was a great time to do the tour for the light, shadows, and sunset colors over the river. I hope to see Matteo again someday for another great experience in Rome.A highlight of our experience in Rome

I had a terrific time with Matteo. He started out asking about some of my photography and what I am interested in. As we walked he discussed light, contrast, shapes, etc. We'd discuss an image and each take some photos. He'd critique and provide useful guidance. All the while showing me and discussing the sites in the areas we walked. It was a great experience and I enjoyed the company.

Matteo provided exceptional guidance for our multigenerational family, navigating us through the winding streets of Roma, from Campo di Fiori to Bernini's burial site. His expertise in and passion for photography 📷 shone through as he assisted us in capturing special street scenes with a focus on composition and lighting. The tour included restful moments of sharing espressos ☕️ and pastries 🥐. Matteo is a Roman treasure. Thank you! Matteo is a Roman Treasure 📷🙏☕️🥐

Matteo was wonderful. We flew into Rome that morning and met Matteo at 5 in the evening. We were both hungry but I guess the jet lag was affecting our appetite. Matteo took us to many places to taste a variety of classics dishes (bites) from Rome and Italy. Half way through, and we were full! GO HUNGRY! Got to see many sights of the city and learn about the lifestyle and foods of Rome. A great experience for our first day in the city.Wonderful Way to Explore

We had a wonderful day with Matteo. The two towns we explored were beautiful and fascinating, especially Calcata which is improbably perched on top of a bluff. Matteo is a gracious and very engaging guide and we had ample time to see both towns, enjoy lunch together and not feel rushed. We’re looking forward to another tour with Matteo while we’re here.Wonderful day!

Matteo is warm and friendly and has wealth of knowledge about Roman food as well as history. We learned way more about the city and more unique areas than we expected, not to mention tasting a variety of savory and sweet foods. It is a good mix of walking parts of the city as well as stopping to sit (or stand) and eat different tastings. It was plenty of food to fill us up, and more enjoyable than just sitting in one spot for a meal. I highly recommend starting your time in Rome with this tour as it has helped inform us about food to look for, and has given us more confidence in what and how to order food here in Italy. Great taste of Rome

We met Matteo and had a very good time with him! We got more than a tour where we could taste "real" local food, chocolate, coffee and icecream. We learnt about the Romans and the mentality - it was more talking with a friend than to somebody who just guided us. Thank you very much for a special time.

Absolutely loved our tour with Matteo. There was TONS to eat, my husband and I definitely left stuffed and couldn't finish everything - not because it wasn't tasty, it was just a lot of food - but we love this sort of thing. It was fantastic hearing the stories of some of the city and why he selected places for us to try. Not a bad bite the whole day and was fun to walk the city popping in to try little treats. Definitely recommend!A fun way to experience a locals POV

Matteo was an excellent Food Tour Guide. By far, it was our best day of eating. The food was top notch and we walked away full! Our family would agree that we had the best pizza, tiramisu, granita, gelato, cannoli, and espresso of our entire trip with Matteo. He knew where to go and did an excellent job of explaining the different food items and why they were some of the best in Italy. We would absolutely do it again. Matteo was amazing and I wish that we had more time to do another Food Tour with him before returning home. Thank you Matteo! Amazing Food Tour with Matteo!
