Great morning with Pietro!
I highly recommend Pietro. He took myself, my husband and my teenage daughter on a fabulous tour of the Colosseum and Roman Forum. He was engaging, knowledgeable and fun to hang out with for the 2 1/2 hours. He adapted to our needs and really knew his stuff. It was a great morning!

Amazing tour!
Rome is a beautiful and culturally rich city, and to discover it with a knowledgeable guide such as Pietro Paolo makes it a memorable experience. He is a passionate historian/storyteller and brought Rome to life for us! He was very patient with our questions and answered with great detail and also with wit and a great sense of humor. He was very generous with his time and knew where to guide us through the crowds, making it feel not as busy. We have learned so much about the history , the magnitude of the architecture, and the way of life of the ancient Romans. A tour with him is definitely a tour not to miss!
