Vincenzo - GREAT Tour Guide - Vincenzo was an amazing tour guide! He was very passionate about the art and was incredibly engaging! We learned so much on the tour with him, our only regret was not being able to book him for our Vatican tour as well! A true pro who is art savvy and knowledgeable, would recommend!!

Grazie Vincenzo!! - Vincenzo was the very best guide we had on all our tours with Viator this trip to Rome. He told such interesting stories about the most famous painting and sculptures in the Doria Pamphilij. He was warm and so animated with his explanations. The tour was well worth it because there are so many special works of art and such beautiful architecture in the centre of Rome. Bravo Vincenzo!

A gem of Rome absolutely worth visiting - I had already participated in a truly fantastic walking tour of the Colosseum and the Imperial Forums in 2021, and finding myself in Rome again, I did not hesitate to contact Vincenzo again to carry out another visit with him.
I totally trusted his expert opinion and let myself be convinced to visit the palace and the Doria Pamphili gallery. I must say that this time too Vincenzo did not disappoint us. He showed us a little gem of Rome that few know about and which remains "apart" compared to much more well-known monuments or museums. Truly a gem to visit.
Vincenzo, super engaging, held our attention from start to finish. I highly recommend it to everyone!

A memorably enriching, fun and awe inspiring tour - We had an absolutely amazing visit of Galleria Doria Pamphili, full of stories and anecdotes that hands the tour truly memorable. Rome is full of art and beauty, and it can be so overwhelming that it is often hard to retain it all. But with Vincenzo’s incredibile knowledge, his anecdotes and fun way of recounting the history of art, this visit will remain deeply impressed in our hearts and minds. Highly recommended

Birthday celebration-unforgettable experience - A tour like no other. Vincenzo is a storyteller that transports you right into the heart of the history of the moment.His deep understanding of Rome's history, art, and architecture is truly impressive. Over the two days our group spent with him, he effortlessly brought ancient ruins to life, weaving captivating stories and historical anecdotes that transported us back in time. It was like stepping into a time machine, with each site and landmark revealing its unique secrets under his expert guidance. When we visited St Paul’s outside the Walls, the next day. What struck us most was Vincenzo’s ability to taylor the experience to the groups interest.
It has not been the 1st time we have sought the expertise of Vincenzo, and for my husband’s 50th birthday, he made the experience extraordinary! Overall, I cannot recommend this tour guide and his experience and enthusiasm enough . He went above and beyond, each time and this to ensure our experience in Rome was enjoyable and unforgettable!

A surprise in the heart of Rome - I had never been to the gallery despite being from Rome and I was pleased to discover this particular jewel in the heart of Rome: to be discovered with its surprises and valuable works especially if properly guided. Martina expertly accompanied us on these artistic tours with important historical anecdotes, friendliness and competence

A day in Rome - Wonderful morning on a private tour of the Dora Pamphilj gallery with our guide Vincenzo, who as always proved to be perfect in every explanation, exhaustive with every question, engaging
Vincenzo is a monster of culture and history and spending two hours with him is too little for those who are thirsty for knowledge and understanding.
Highly recommended for any guided tour. Seeing is believing
