I am an authorized guide of Rome and its province and for more than 20 years I have been involved in the illustration of the treasures of Rome with dedication and passion for cultural diffusion. In addition to a first degree in Political Science, I have a Bachelor's Degree in Art History and another in Classical Archaeology. I like to tell the history and art of Rome, always trying to stimulate the attention and curiosity of the participants in my tours.

The tour with our guide Manuel was amazing! He showed us very interesting spots and really emphazised their importance in their historic context. He was very well versed and showed great knowledge about the roman empire in general. He was always open for questions and provided excellent answers. We would highly recommend his tour!
