Guide: Mircea
Guiding since 2020PRO
Hello everyone! I’m Mircea Marciu, your official licensed tourist guide in Rome. 🇮🇹
I’m authorized by the Italian Ministry of Tourism (Ministero del Turismo – Repubblica Italiana), and I’ve been sharing the history, stories and secrets of Rome with visitors from all over the world for many years.
But my tours are not just about dates, names and monuments.
I want you to experience Rome.
I love bringing ancient Rome back to life — the emperors, gladiators, slaves, politicians, ordinary people, scandals, victories and disasters — and showing you the city through the eyes of the people who actually lived here.
My goal is simple: to make history fascinating, understandable and unforgettable.
Whether you're standing inside the Colosseum, walking through the Roman Forum, exploring the Vatican or simply discovering the streets of Rome, I want you to leave with great memories, a few amazing stories to tell your friends… and perhaps a completely different idea of what Rome really was.
Welcome to Rome — and let’s discover it together!
