🎉 10,000 REVIEWS! THANK YOU! 🎉
Wow. I could have never imagined this when I started Made in Rome Tours in 2017.
At just 27 years old, with nothing but a deep passion for Rome and the Vatican, I set out to create the best possible experience for travelers visiting this incredible city. My journey began in 2008—first selling tours on the streets, then working as a tour assistant, and finally as a tour guide for different companies.
I always admired the big tour operators—older, larger, with thousands of reviews. Never did I think I could one day reach their level. But thanks to everything I learned from working with great entrepreneurs like Joseph, Maurizio, and Angelo, and from the many amazing tour guides like Carl who taught me the craft, I was able to build something special.
The greatest lessons, though, came from you—our travelers. From your feedback, your conversations, your shared experiences. Starting a tour company wasn’t easy, especially financially. At first, it was all about survival. But day by day, we grew. And thanks to you, we moved beyond survival to become one of Rome’s leading tour operators.
You have been our biggest supporters—spreading the word through thousands of five-star reviews ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU!
I started with just one tour a day, guiding 50 people through the Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel, and St. Peter’s Basilica. Then we grew—thanks to the amazing guides who believed in this project from the start, like Marco and Lucia, who are still with us today. They are not just incredible professionals, but also true friends.
Today, we are a team of over 20 expert guides, offering both group and private tours. I also want to thank all the office staff(some are still with us, some have left) who have helped make this possible:
🔹 Eni, our first team member, followed by Laura and Areusa
🔹 After the pandemic, Chiara joined to support our growth
🔹 Now, our strong, hardworking office team includes Mihaela and Martina
🔹 And of course, Spiro, who has always been by my side—first as a friend and colleague, and now as a key team member
PS. Thanks Giorgia, Lorenz, and Puma. Our success is thanks to people❤️
