  Our tour was so entertaining and informative! Extraordinarily vivid stories, that kept our attention the whole time. I would definetely recommend tours with Massimo in general and, as I was especially interested in the story of Ceasar and other Roman rulers, this was just the perfect topic for me. Thank you so much for the great experience! We hope to enjoy another tour, when we'll be in Rome again.

  Fantastic experience! Massimo was very knowledgeable, super passionate, and he shared unique anecdotes that you won't find in the usual history books. Walking through the alleys of the historic center with such an engaging narrative made everything magical. Perfect organization and timing managed very well. I highly recommend it to everyone!

• Hands down, the best walking tour in Rome

  This was hands-down the best tour experience we had in Italy among the four we did. Massimo is a brilliant story-teller and highly knowledgable about Roman history. We were initially skeptical about doing the Emperor's nighttime stories tour with our 7-year olds, since they are not yet interested in history. However, it turned out be the highlight of our trip. Massimo weaves together real historical narratives while walking through actual sites in the city, draws analogies with our modern world and uses humor to superb effect. I learned more about Roman history and personalities on this 2.5 hour tour than I have ever before. I am a casual reader of history and was disappointed with the less knowledgable guides from some of the bigger tour companies. However, Massimo's was exactly the sort of tour I was looking for: knowledgable, accessible and immensely fun. At multiple points, we asked Massimo deeper follow-up questions on the stories and he was not only thorough with his facts but deeply insightful about the times and ethos of ancient Roman society. At the end our tour, our only regret was that we did not do the Colosseum tour with Massimo. If you are visiting Rome, I would highly recommend booking with Storytelling Rome.

  My mom and I had a great time on the Julius Caesar and the Emperors' Nighttime Stories tour last week. It began at 5 pm and lasted nearly three hours but really flew by. Massimo has a vibrant and friendly personality, which he uses to full effect along with his acting skills, sense of humor, and visual aids to recount all of the fascinating stories in a thoroughly engaging manner. Even though this was my mom's and my fourth time in Rome, we still learned a lot about the lives of the emperors and their families, and it was amazing to do so in the actual sites where they left their marks. There were only six of us on this tour, and the amount of walking was manageable for all ages. Both the start and end points are in very central locations with taxi stands available for those coming from further afield. This was a thoroughly enjoyable evening, and one we highly recommend to all with any level of interest in Ancient Rome. We'd love to take another tour with Massimo in the future! Grazie, Massimo!

  This Julius Caesar walking tour was such a highlight of our trip. The guide brought ancient Rome to life in a way that felt engaging, easy to follow, and genuinely fun. Instead of just dates and names, the story of Julius Caesar unfolded right in front of us—politics, power struggles, betrayals, and all—while standing in the very places where history happened. The pacing was perfect, the storytelling was clear and captivating, and the guide did a great job connecting Caesar’s life to the wider context of Rome and the Republic. Even people in our group who aren’t usually history buffs were totally hooked. If you want a deeper understanding of Rome beyond the surface-level sights—and a memorable, immersive experience—I can’t recommend this tour enough. It made walking through the city feel meaningful and unforgettable.

  I did several tours with Massimo and they were absolutely fantastic! This nighttime stories tour was a great way to learn, laugh, and see this beautiful city at night. I highly recommend it- you will not be disappointed! Also did a tour of Colosseum and Forum, as well as Vatican. Massimo is very knowledgeable and a wonderful storyteller! I will definitely do more tours with him whenever in Rome!

  So I have been to Rome a few times and always toured on my own. This time, we hired Massimo. He took us to Basicilca San Clemente, the Forum, Colosseum, and Palatine Hill. I am a history buff so I appreciated his stories and knowledge as a native of Italy. He was engaging, thoughtful and very interesting! I could have listened to him all day!!!! I plan to go back to Rome and I will use him again for another tour. He is worth every penny! Thank you again Massimo for the best experience and most memorable part of my trip!

  This tour was awesome. Massimo is a master storyteller who brought the Roman Emperors and their families to life, all while strolling through the Roman streets to sites that tied back to his intriguing stories. My son said it was the best tour we’d been on and I agree.
