RussiaAdding to my previous comment about Rome tour, I would like to mark some more points. Thanks to Dino for his preparations for the tour. During our visit to the Sistine Chapel we already knew, what should we notice in this beautiful place. And the other important thing. Our small daughter was capricious during this day and we understand how hard is for the guide when your clients are distracted every minute. But Dino has managed to save fluidity of narration, was super patient and told both of us a lot!

CanadaDino was such a delight on our first trip to Rome we knew we had to book him again for our family vacation. He is a fountain of interesting history and we learned a lot of new information during our second time with him. As a bonus he also directed us to some local gems for lunch. We highly recommend getting to know some of Rome's rich history over an afternoon with Dino as your guide.

BrazilDino is absolutely fantastic. He makes a 3 hour visit go by so fast because he shares so many interesting facts and is so enthusiastic about history. Best guided tour I have ever had (and I had many...). After our first tour, we are booking a second with him. Highly recommend Dino.

PortugalDino, was very helpful and responsive in the planning stage and during the tour itself he was extremely flexible and showed an incredible level of knowledge. He answered all our questions and seemed to know every single story and information possible. He was also a lot of fun and very flexible to accommodate our suggestions. Couldn't recommend more!

ItalyWe visited Rome and we really wanted to see the Vatican City. We knew that in order to enjoy our visit and get as much information possible would be best with a tour guide and thankfully we came across Dino's page. As soon as we contacted him, he responded shortly and gave a really detailed description of what our visit would look like. Once we met Dino, we saw right away how professional and organized he is. He has made the whole experience very enjoyable and fun and we cannot thank him enough.

United KingdomWe spent an amazingly interesting time with Dino at the Vatican. His knowledge was outstanding and he made our visit so special. The Vatican tour was overwhelmingly. Dino's interest in history and art helped us to capture all the aspects of the tour. He was such a friendly tour guide. Thank you Dino.

United StatesWe toured the Vatican with Dino on our last day in Rome and what a way to end our time there! Dino is a wealth of knowledge and we had a wonderful time with him. We can't say enough good things about him and will recommend his tours to anyone we know touring through Rome! The Vatican is a must see when visiting the city and the private tour was well worth your time and money. Thank you, Dino! Colleen and Paul

United StatesAgain Dino was extremely professional and went out of his way to accommodate our family. We had a family member with limited mobility on this tour. Dino, got him a wheelchair to use at the Vatican museum to use through the tour then sat us at the Sistine Chapel and took the wheelchair back himself to allow us maximum time to enjoy the chapel. He is very knowledgeable and an excellent guide. This is our second time using his service and we will continue to ask for his help on our future Rome trips.

United StatesI'm sure I don't have the words that would adequately honor the experience my daughter and I had on Dino's tours. His encyclopedic knowledge of all things historical and contemporary in his beautiful Rome and the reverence he imparted for Vatican City was rivaled only by the love and passion through which he shared his itineraries. Well paced, yet dense. He suffused his narrations with documents and maps. EVERY moment with Dino was used to explore: artifacts, walls, floors, chambers, gardens, structures.

Gabriella Cabassi
ItalyI would have given more stars if at all possible. Dino is fantastic, I actually cannot wait to go back to Rome to contact him again for another tour. He is super knowledgeable, professional and very pleasant. We would totally recommend to contact him if you want to have an informative tour which is also filled with little, interesting details about the splendid Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel.
Jascine Hammond
Santa Fe, NM, United StatesDino was friendly and very knowledgable. We learned so much about the art in the Vatican and the history of the papacy. Even though it was quite crowded he made our tour special by pointing out little details we would have missed on our own. Wish we had had more time for a even more, like the picture gallery. Highly recommend this tour and this guide.

United StatesWe did two tours with Dino while in Rome: Ancient Rome and Vatican Basic tours. Dino is a great tour guide as he is very knowledgeable about Rome and the Vatican. I liked his story telling about Rome. You could tell he really enjoys his work because his eyes would light up while telling us the stories. Not just dry facts. His magic bag of pictures and iPad really help convey information. He is patient and flexible. Because we visited during the holidays, he was good on trying to work around the crowds.
Kendra Kay
United StatesDino was an outstanding and highly knowledgeable guide. He provided fascinating commentary that engaged both adults and kids in our group. He knew exactly how to navigate the throngs, the best photo spots, and gave us adequate time to see the major attractions. It was a very high yield tour and he was also extremely warm and friendly to all.

Meredith Brace
United StatesOur first time in Italy, and Dino, our guide in Rome, set the pace. He was a wealth of knowledge of all things Vatican and had a clear and complete answer for every question our group of six came up with. He was very professional, and delivered his proficiency of history with warmth and preciseness. Dino pointed things out within the museums that we would never have noticed, all with explanations to ensure our understanding. We hope to hire Dino on our next trip to Rome!
