Quincy, MA, United StatesWhat a wonderful day with Dino. He picked us up at our hotel and took a cab over to the Trastevere neighborhood of Rome. What a great tour, Dino really knows the history of this area. We visited Basilica of Santa Maria, Church of Santa Cecilia, and the Basilica of San Crisogono. Then we took a cab back to visit the Borghese Gallery and gardens. Dino brings to life the artworks of this magnificent gallery. Dino will individualize your tour to your interests and make your tour special!

AustraliaDino's enthusiasm, passion & knowledge for the Villa Borghese Galley made our experience there so much better. His stories about the art & its background made the works come alive. He had an iPad to show us closeups & interesting details that further enhanced our appreciation of the pieces he focused on. You couldn't ask for a better guide!

United StatesDino is an Excellent Guide, We booked the 2.5 hour tour of the Gallerie Borghese in Roma. Dino met us in the lobby of our hotel. The Tour is well worth it with both paintings and sculpture. Beginning with Raphael to Caravaggio and the unbelievable sculptures of Bernini and the objects d'art of Valadier, this is a must-see in Rome. And Dino is the perfect person to guide you. He is the consummate professional.

BrazilI would give Dino more than five stars if possible! Dino was punctual, attentive, extremely knowledgeable and caring. He planned the tour in a way that provided us the most comfort and privacy. We were able to see the marvels of the Galleria Borghese slowly and with in-depth information. Although Dino probably has done this tour dozens of times, he still conveyed to us his genuine pleasure in discussing the artworks and sharing his expertise. As for the booking, it was smooth and efficient.

United StatesBorghese tour: Dino is an amazing guide! From the moment you meet him, he is professional, courteous, personable and extraordinarily knowledgeable about the tour subject matter. He provides as much or as little information as you'd like to hear about and asks/answers questions enthusiastically. He knows where to be for the best views, scenery, photos, as well as how to avoid crowds. I have already recommended him to friends and will book him again when I return to Italy. wow!

United StatesMuseums can be overwhelming, but Dino was able to point out the highlights-as well as some important works that we never would have noticed on our own. He organized our 3 hour tour so we maximized the available time, but never felt rushed. This was our second trip to Rome, and the second time we have selected Dino as our guide-and there are still many places to explore with him on our next trip.

United StatesOur tour of the Borghese Gallery was given by Dino. He was an excellent guide, familiar with the history of the art displayed in the gallery and very enthusiastic about imparting Rome's history. We were able to take advantage of the special Bernini exhibit. Dino was able to interest my 15 year old granddaughter.

United Statesvery well prepared, enthusiastic and friendly

United StatesThe Borghese has a two hour visit limit. A guide like Dino is the only way to see the most important works within the time limit. (We took 8 of Dino's tours and thoroughly enjoyed each of them. Dino's knowledge of Rome's history and art is encyclopedic. Dino is pleasant, accommodating and speaks excellent English. And he knows where to find bathrooms and where you can have delicious, inexpensive meals.) We recommend him without reservation.
