A Futurist Guide to a Futurist Movement - We went to the National Gallery of Modern Art to see the exhibition of futurism. Vincenzo, our guide, presented himself in futuristic uniform, as shown in the photo, and transformed the next two hours into an immersion in the visionary project of Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, Giacomo Balla and the other artists who revolutionized a certain way of making art in the first half of the twentieth century. The exhibition, boundless in the 24 rooms, would have been very dispersive without Vincenzo’s words acting as a thread capable of weaving a conceptual plot of the development of the futurist avant-garde.
The two hours have flown, and we are already looking for a date to be shown by Vincenzo the bourgeois gallery.
With him, every descent into Rome becomes an opportunity to learn something about Italian art in an anecdotal, cultured and fun way.

Very prepared, engaging and nice guide! - We had Vincenzo as a guide for a school group (tour in English) and I can only talk about it very well. Not only does he have in-depth knowledge but he is able to transmit his passion, both to children and to us adults. It directly involves participants in explanations, such as making two boys "gladiators" to better understand some concepts. I highly recommend it, I myself would like to have it as a guide for my personal travels as well. If you are in Rome you could not have a better guide.

Fascinating, fun, perfect for families - Our tour with Barbi is simply fantastic. She is able to pack in so much information while keeping her audience totally hooked and with 12 yo boys, that is a not small challenge!we spent two hours in the Colosseum and even though we thought we already knew a lot given this was our 5th visit to Rome, she managed to surprise us with a whole host of fun, interesting and well researched facts that filled our conversations for the rest of the day. Also, her great energy without being pushy is absolutely contagious making for a memorable highlight of our 4 days in Rome. Thank you, Barbi!

A walking tour for an unforgettable team building in the center of Rome - A walking tour for an unforgettable team building in the center of Rome. Starting from Piazza di Spagna, with the wonderful staircase leading to Trinità dei Monti and the curious Fontana della Barcaccia, we crossed Piazza Mignanelli with the Column of the Immaculate Conception and from there we moved to the famous Trevi Fountain, an eighteenth-century masterpiece, dominated by the imposing bulk of Ocean.
A walk that took us to Piazza di Pietra, where we saw the Temple of Hadrian, and from there to the Pantheon, definitely the most extraordinary engineering work of ancient Rome, a monument of unsurpassed proportions. Touching Palazzo Madama and San Luigi dei Francesi, we arrived at Piazza Navona, and from there we ventured through Campo de' Fiori, detailing both Palazzo Farnese, home of the French Embassy, and Palazzo Spada, home of the State Recommendation: the first Renaissance masterpiece, the second piece of Mannerist elegance.
The crossing of Ponte Sisto led us to the lively Piazza Trilussa, where the tour ended to thunderous applause from the 35 people, all for Vincenzo, the Guide who was able to make us imagine with his mastery and talkativeness and a perfect knowledge of the English language the wonderful city of Rome. Recommendation to all this tour, because even work and training moments, can enchant their employees with activities of this type, if they are guided by a Pro like Rome Guides

A walk with Vicenzo!! UNICA!!! - Do you want to know anecdotes and the history of Rome walking through the centuries with a friendly voice that will make you dream among the Roman remains? Well called Vincenzo Spina... yesterday evening starting from the Palatine we looked out over the swamp of Romulus theater of the forum that will be thanks to Numa Pompilio, and crossing the cordon designed, for a change, by Michelangelo, we go down to the Roman markets and with the spiritual help of Hercules we reach the Tiber island where the spirit of the dentist Auffa still reminds the Romans to be careful .. at the steps of the hospital Tiber Island!
Always unique and fantastic Enzo!!!
Thank you very much

Spanish Steps to Pantheon - Vincenzo is a wonderful guide. Very knowledgeable about art, architecture, and history. Informative and entertaining. We never felt rushed and he adjusted the pace to our needs. He did an excellent job of helping us through crowds. We would highly recommend him. In three hours we received an excellent introduction to Rome.

Remarkable Experience gifted by Vincenzo - I will start with one word - REMARKABLE! As a world traveller, I come across tour guides a lot, but Vincenzo blew us away. We were a group of 11. Vincenzo and I connected 9 months before the trip. Every interaction was always nothing but perfect. The tours we had in Rome were nothing short of a theatrical production lead by a historian. We started with the city tour, where Vincenzo shared his passion about the artistic/architectural landmarks of Rome. We continued with Roman Forum and Colosseum, where we felt the landmarks come alive with Vincenzo’s captivating stories. Finally, we may as well receive a degree in Vatican museums and Borghese Gallery as Vincenzo spent generous amount of time sharing the secrets behind the art works. I addition, Vincenzo went above and beyond giving us tips and tricks around Rome including helping us to book the most sought after restaurants. All in all, he was REMARKABLE. True professional, passionate about his trade and absolute admirer of his city of Rome. Thank you from Niagara University in Canada from the bottom of our hearts. Vincenzo, you are a STAR!

Fun Tour of the City Center - We went on a 3 hr walking tour of the center of Rome with Vincenzo. It was a great experience. He’s knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and incredibly engaging. We got so much more out of the experience than we would have if we’d viewed the same locations on our own. Highly recommend!
