United StatesMario was a wonderful tour guide! We loved our time in Rome and our time spent with Mario. We got to see everything we wanted to see plus more! He was so knowledgable about everything and explained every step of the way! We feel like Mario became part of the family!

United StatesWe had an incredible tour of the Forum with Mario! He was so knowledgeable. Although we have been to Rome many times, we learned so much about the history from him and in a very interesting way! We are 75 and move a bit slower. But he honored that and made a pace we could keep up with. We would highly recommend him and plan to ask him again when back in Rome.

United StatesOur group loved our tours with Mario. He was very accommodating and adjusted our tour to fit the desires of our group of six. It was so nice seeing things in Rome that we're off the beaten path and absolutely beautiful, as well as seeing the normal tourist destinations while bypassing long lines. I would recommend Mario and happily have him as a guide if we make it to Rome again.
Mike Schroeder
United StatesMario is a great tour guide. My wife, her sister and husband and I engaged Mario for a whirlwind 3+ day tour. The tour included Ancient Rome (many sites including the Coliseum, Temples, many Roman Monuments, etc.), Vesuvius and Pompeii, Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel, St. Peter's Basilica) and other sites in Rome including Spanish Steps, many fountains, etc. Not only was he a fantastic tour guide but he also wrapped it up with drivers, hotel recommendations, etc. Mario was FANTASTIC!!

United StatesMario was an excellent guide. He did a great deal of customization before and during our day. His English was superb! Our group of 6 including two teenagers all liked him. He has tremendous knowledge. He guided us to a great local lunch spot where everyone enjoyed pizza and pasta. I would highly recommend him and we would use him again. He enabled us to see everything on our wish list in one day. We very much appreciate that

United StatesMario was a perfect Tour Guide. My group had 15 people ranging from 1 year old to 72 years old. he catered the tours to keep everyone engaged. The group had 2 seniors that had spoke little English and hard time walking the paths of Rome they loved Mario. We were looking for a casual Tour of Rome did not want a jam packed schedule and Mario accomplished that. if I could give more then 5 Stars I would

United StatesMario B. was fantastic! We had a wonderful two days of touring customized for us. He was extremely knowledgeable about history, art and local sites and shared this knowledge while keeping us entertained with interesting stories along the way. Private car / front of the line tickets / local restaurant expert/ skillful maneuvering around crowds. I would strongly recommend Mario!
George Lonabaugh
Sanford, FL, United StatesAmazing tour of Rome with Mario! Mario was able to find interests for our entire group of 6. We wanted a tour that was off the beaten path when visiting Rome and Mario delivered. Our tour was over 2 days allowing us time to explore on our own as well. We started with a walking tour as Mario pointed out many unique parts of Rome. Had our best meal in a local restaurant, and a tour of Rome at night. The next day traveling to Lake Albano and the Appian Way. Thank you Mario!
Christie Stocker
United StatesMario was fantastic! His knowledge of the history of the many sights was impressive. He helped put meaning what we were seeing. He did everything possible to maximize our tour and the sights we visited. I cannot imagine having a better tour guide!
Lewis Mooney
United StatesThe chance to return to Florence for a day from Rome proved irresistible. We met at the station to take the train to Florence. The trip lasted about 90 minutes. Once on Florence we visited the Accademia with an emphasis on the painting collection, then did some shopping before lunch. After lunch Mario led us through the Uffizi. While we had been to the Uffizi before, Mario was by far the most knowledgable guide we have had. We even had time for drinks before returning to Rome. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thank you very much, Lewis! It was my pleasure meeting you and Alison! take care Ciao Mario

David Wirthlin
United StatesMario was the ideal guide. He covered all of our needs and yet showed us in three days what it would have taken 5 days to see on our own. He is knowledgeable and pleasant and has an amazing grasp of History and what is important for his group to see. His sense of humor added to the in-depth tour of ancient Rome. Mario is the only way to see Rome!
TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thank you David, it was my pleasure meeting you and your family! Thank you again!
Kevin Gallaher
United StatesMario is great. He arranged exactly the day we hoped for and more. He took 4 of us on an excursion to Tagliacozzo and Tivoli and evening arranged a driver for the day. Along the way he pointed out and discussed various historically significant sites etc, which made the entire trip very interesting even when in the van. He also gave us great recommendations on things to do with the rest of our trip including visiting a winery in Chianti that was amazing with truly delightful people.
Regina Morgan
United StatesMario is an excellent guide. He was knowledgeable, informative, professional and patience. Mario's knowledge made Hadrians Villa very interesting. The Villa d'Este was marvelous. The architecture, painting and fountains were outstanding.

Winter Park, FL, United StatesMario was very patient, considerate, punctual, flexible and had an engaging sense of humour. His extensive knowledge of Italy and Rome ranged from ancient times to the best gelateria in town! My 4 days as his Vespa passenger flew by. I cannot wait to return. Whatever you wish for, Mario will make it happen. I highly recommend him. Grazie mill, Mario. michela

Mario answered all of our questions and I hope he enjoyed our company as much as we did with his. Many thanks and we look forward to visiting Rome soon. Such a beautiful city with rich historical beauty.

Stephen Rosati
United StatesMario was a wonderful tour guide (and very funny)! He was very passionate and knowledgeable about Rome and created a tour for us that hit all of the top sites and also all of the top places for foodies. His choices for the tasting tour were delicious and some of the best meals we had on our trip. Although you can certainly not learn all there is to know about Rome in one day, he gave us a very in-depth yet easy to understand tour. We were extremely impressed. He really made our time in Rome unforgettable!
