Our 11 day trip to Italy ended with 2 days in Rome, with Giovanni as our guide. This became the highlight of our entire trip. Giovanni possesses a unique combination of knowledge, passion, and personal connections which enable him to give the visitor to Rome an unparalleled experience.
\nGiovanni was able to obtain access for us to highlights most tourists don’t get to see. He got us around lines where we otherwise would have spent 2 hours waiting. We covered more in two days than we could have covered in a week on our own.
\nIn addition, his diverse background as a trained architect, a sculptor, and an art history teacher bring a richness to his ability to give the story behind each building, sculpture, and painting we passed along the way. Whenever we stopped to ask about any particular structure or piece of art, he was able to elaborate in as much detail as we wanted – every time. He is a scholar whose passion for and commitment to lifelong learning comes through, whether the visitor has only two days in which to cover all the highlights, or a full week to spend in a concentrated area of focus. We will never forget the hour we spent in the Sistene Chapel, before the heavy crowds arrived for the day, with Giovanni explaining its richness to us from the high overview and down to every level of detail.
\nWe highly recommend Giovanni for anyone looking for an experience in Rome that rises above the general tourist routine.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
