Energetic and Captivating - Our guide, Vincenzo, was animated, knowledgeable, and fun! He was genuinely interested in making sure we had a great tour. I wouldn't say I am an art history buff at all, but after hearing about the artists of Rome, he may have converted me! The places we visited were gorgeous and full of history that we would never understand going on our own. Grateful for the stories and passion Vincenzo offered! Loved the special gift at the end. Thank you!

Trastevere - We are a couple with a little girl of almost two years who, however, has always slept during the visit. Together with Vincenzo we took a tour of Trastevere. Whenever we come to Rome we always try to schedule a tour with Rome Guides because we are in love with their passion, kindness and great knowledge. Vincenzo was a magnificent guide, competent and very attentive to our needs. He told us the secrets of the streets and churches of this neighborhood and even memorized a poem by Belli!
Already we would like to return to Rome hoping to be able to organize a new tour with him!

Fascinating, entertaining, thoroughly enjoyable - Our guide Vincenzo Spina was an amazing storyteller who brought to life the characters and artwork of Villa Farnesina and the two beautiful churches, the basilica of Santa Maria Trastevere and ancient, later Baroque church of Santa Cecelia. Full of color and description, we were mesmerized for the 3+ hours.
He had great restaurant recommendations, too! Highly recommend!!!

Unique experience! That's great! - We requested a personalized tour and Vincenzo turned out to be a guarantee. A walk through Trastevere to discover the most hidden secrets.
Vincenzo involves you in the tour in a unique way! It's funny, clear, precise and intrigues you throughout. It is not the first tour I have done and as a Roman I always get to know new things thanks to Vincenzo.
Roma Guides is definitely to choose for visits and tours in Rome.
Highly Recommendation!

Unique experiences - I went on several tours of the Rome Guides Association and they were always very exciting experiences. They are very good and manage to enhance each place, contextualising the historical period and enriching it with particular anecdotes and background stories. The hours of the visit fly by and you are completely immersed, managing to fully appreciate the works of art.

Villa Farnesina in Trastevere - Villa Farnesina is a concentration of beauty, art and symbolism which was told to us with the enthusiasm and mastery of a guide like Martina who is good at capturing the attention of young and old and who made every moment of the visit exciting and never banal. I can't wait to do another one.❤️

Amazing tour of Trastevere - Vincenzo is incredible, he not only tells the story, but also his anecdotes.
It keeps you entertained throughout your visit, never feeling redundant or boring.
He made us discover Trastevere in all its lesser-known aspects, and I am Roman, he knew how to answer every curiosity and managed the time together by transporting us into every fact he told. Exceptional, unconventional, extremely competent.
Super recommended!
