I've been showing people around my country for almost 40 years, I still enjoy doing it and I'm not tired of it yet! Rome and the Vatican are obviously on top of the list of the places I end up touring people to, but I give my best when I’m given the time to show people the real Italy, places that can’t be found on guide books, off the beaten path in the city and in the countryside. Sometimes I have to work hard to convince people to let me take them on a private tour of the Catacombs, a walk in the park with the ruins of the Roman aqueducts or to discover how the Romans lived their daily life strolling through the ruins of Ostia Antica, but then they always thank me for talking them into it. These are some samples of my special tours of Rome, but there’s a lot more than just that and even during the regular full day tour of Rome I manage to include some sites off the beaten path like the places mentioned in Dan Brown’s novel “Angels and Demons” for example.
