Trastevere with new eyes

As a Roman, I thought I knew Trastevere, but Vincenzo gave me new eyes: places I had passed by a thousand times now have an extra meaning and memory. Fabulous, highly recommended, organized perfectly!

Rome Guide Vimcenzo Spina

Met Vincenzo at my escape room in Bangkok eight years ago. He said if I ever came to Rome, call him. Most people forget. I didn’t. I called. We spent a few days arranging it; he tailored the tour to us. Private van, four churches, me + parents + son (basically age 20 to 95). Everybody loved it. Between stops he’d drop the kind of facts that made the next place make sense — so for days after we kept walking past spots he’d already unlocked and finally had something to say besides “wow, old.” Funny part: we had a van. You’d think that means easy legs. The churches disagreed. They’re so big that even with a driver, the step app still clocked about 8 km. Rome doesn’t just overload your brain — it quietly ruins your shoes. Walking fun encyclopedia. Most memorable thing we did in Rome. Want a private guide who actually knows the city? Vincenzo.

AN EXCEPTIONAL GUIDE!

An exceptional guide! We had the pleasure of visiting Rome accompanied by Vincenzo, a truly exceptional guide. He was extremely professional and knowledgeable, but above all a very nice person capable of conveying enthusiasm for every place he helped us discover. We visited the Pantheon and Villa Borghese. His way of telling history, with curiosity and friendliness, made the visit pleasant and engaging. A guide that we absolutely recommend to anyone who wants to discover Rome not only through its monuments, but also through the stories and emotions that make them special. Very good Vincenzo, as usual you never prove us wrong and you always surprise us!

An exciting journey into the history and art of Rome

Vincenzo transmitted to us with great verve known and less known aspects of Roman history and culture, always managing to provide us with historical information and new and particular anecdotes. He is a serious, professional and experienced guide. I will remember with pleasure his detailed description of the personalities and characteristics of the Roman Baroque, as well as his account of the spirit and artistic approach, very particular, of the great Caravaggio. Thank you, Vincenzo, for the information you have provided, always entertaining us lightly.

A memorable experience

There were 10 of us, coming from Lombardy, Puglia, Lazio, Campania, Tuscany. I had booked a private visit with Vincenzo knowing for years his professionalism. I wanted to give my guests an experience that was not ordinary and so it was. His visit mixing history, myths, anecdotes, art history and some goodies of etymology left everyone excited. Vincenzo is a guarantee and a precious resource for Rome and the Romans. Thank you thank you thank you.

Excellent experience

Vincenzo is an exceptional guide, who knows how to move with mastery both in conducting modern collections and in more traditional museological contexts: competent yes, but also able to excite and involve the listener. Highly recommended

The tour was built exactly as we wanted it, with great flexibility on timing and route. Vincenzo knows Rome and its history impeccably and manages to tell it with enthusiasm and simplicity, without ever being boring. We really recommend it to those who want to discover the city with a prepared and passionate guide.

More than a tour, an experience!

We were lucky enough to take a private tour with Vincenzo and what about... it was much more than just a guided tour! His way of telling is a true storytelling: he takes you by the hand and takes you on a journey through time, among surprising anecdotes, details never taken for granted and so much passion. We walked through the center of Rome completely forgetting the present, immersed in the stories he told us with lightness, irony and so much competence. One of those experiences that leaves something inside you. Highly recommended if you are looking for authenticity and wonder!!
