Hi there! Nice to meet you

Amandio

I am portuguese living in Rome with my italian wife and 2 kids. I have an immense curiosity, and like ancient roman playwriter Terence said "Homo sum, humani nihil a me alienum puto - I am a human being, I regard nothing of human concern as foreign to my interests", so that rarely something doesn't interest me.

As someone who works in audit, I’ll be the first to admit: I’m an expert at spotting mistakes and always seem to notice the empty half of the cup. I rarely write glowing reviews because I’m trained to look for what’s missing. But with Amadeo’s, I have to be fair and square, this experience was flawless. No words can truly express the wonderful, craved, and utterly memorable morning we had. Amadeo guided us through Rome’s hidden gems as the city woke up, sharing stories and secrets that made every moment special. He was incredibly smart and patient with my 8-year-old drama queen, turning her energy into pure engagement and joy. The teens were kept on their toes the entire time, thanks to his thoughtful questions and clever insights. Out of the 9 tours we booked across 5 cities in Italy, this was by far the best. Amadeo didn’t just show us Rome but he brought it to life for every member of our family. For once, I have nothing to critique. Thank you!Your Guide to a hidden gem

We had an amazing historical/architectural tour with Amandio yesterday. He is a great story teller, very animated and kept us and kids ( ages 13 and 11) interested the entire time. We opted to do it on e-bikes and did not regret a bit. It was +35 and having some air movement was great!!! We covered more area and saw way more than if we were to walk along the streets. Kids were very happy with little quizzes Amandio was giving them and were happy to learn more about Rome through this interactive approach. Amandio is an easy going guide and adapted effortlessly to our needs. We highly recommend him and will be happy to spend more time with him in the future in Rome.Amazing experience with Amandio!!

We had a two hour tour with Amandio which was terrific. Our two boys 10 and 8 years old went from tired and uninterested to thoroughly engaged for the duration. We then arranged a further 2 hr museum tour at short notice and then a 3 hr e-bike tour directly which were the highlight of our trip. Great delivery and super passionate about the content. We highly recommend Amandio.Super guide - best experience

We enjoyed our tour with Amandio! He navigated us through Rome as a true pro…not an easy thing for a family of five with three young kids. We saw amazing views/sights and learned history we wouldn’t have otherwise. Amandio kept both the adults and the kids engaged. I was a bit nervous on the bikes, but we made it! He guided us well and made sure we were okay. What a neat experience.Whst an adventure!

What I’ve learned through nearly 40 years of travel is that nothing beats seeing a new place through the eyes of a local. To that end, Amandio didn’t disappoint. My daughter and I were blown away by the authenticity and deep local feel of our time spent with Amandio. Every stop had a story, every shop had long, rich history and each food sampling was delicious. It was as if an old friend previously met abroad was showing us around his neighborhood for the first time. I’d recommend this tour and especially Amandio as a guide to any of my friends from around the world. An extraordinary experience

We just did a tour with Amandio a few days back . We were a large group , 5 adults n 4 kids. From the start, he was super communicative and accommodating to our needs. He took the kids and grandma on baboe bike - so they were all super happy to not have to walk all the time ;) . He also knew very well ( better than us) how to connect with the kids- with the way he kept them entertained with puzzles, jokes, even games and dancing ! He was also super funny and kept us entertained with his stories. The pizza and gelato and canoli stops were great . When the tour ended , we all ( especially the kids) were sad to say good- bye. We felt we were saying good bye to a good friend ! We certainly hope to see him another time and will highly, highly recommend him to anyone . Best walking/ biking tour ever

Our three-day tour experience was nothing short of exceptional! From the very beginning, Amandio went above and beyond to ensure that everything was seamless and enjoyable for our group of three adults and a 10-year-old child. His flexibility and attention to detail is unmatched, making us feel completely at ease and well taken care of. Amandio is an absolute treasure—a wealth of knowledge, incredibly engaging, and so much fun to be around. His ability to bring history to life and share fascinating stories made every moment captivating for both the adults and the child in our group. The way he tailored the tours to keep our 10-year-old entertained while still providing depth and insight for the adults was truly impressive. Over the three days, we explored some incredible locations, each thoughtfully curated to showcase the best of the area. Whether it was uncovering hidden gems, explaining the history behind iconic landmarks, or recommending the most delicious local spots to eat, Amandio made every experience memorable. One highlight was when he took us on a daylong bike ride across the city and to the market for delicious Suppli, which turned out to be a favorite for all of us, especially our child! What made the experience even more special was his genuine passion for Rome—it was contagious! His enthusiasm and warmth made us feel like we were touring with a friend rather than just a guide. He even went out of his way to accommodate our preferences and pace, ensuring that everyone in the group had a fantastic time. We can’t recommend Amandio enough. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, personable, and engaging guide who will make your trip unforgettable, look no further. Our three days were filled with incredible memories, and we’re already planning to book another tour with Amandio on our next visit!Exceptional Time!
