We visited this museum as a family and it was a captivating experience. Thanks to our guide, the tour literally transformed into a journey through time: thanks to his extraordinary knowledge, we were captivated the entire time. He stimulated our curiosity, interacting with the whole group, and revealed new things and new perspectives on what we thought we already knew. I thank Vincenzo Spina, who expertly accompanied us, not only for his professionalism but also for the sensitivity with which he adapted the narration to his audience.
Whenever I can I take part in guided tours of Rome Guides because the great ability to narrate, the broad culture and the brilliant mode of Vincenzo guide makes every experience unique and fascinating. Even a museum like Palazzo Massimo, composed of classical and well-known works, becomes an opportunity for fun and learning that remains a beautiful memory. Really highly recommended.
Stracosiglio.. Absolutely to be repeated with other itineraries .. The skill, the ability to maintain the attention and kindness of Vincenzo... They helped make a visit to the beautiful museum an interesting and fun cultural experience! A real Cicero! 😊 Until next time
Vincenzo is a really amazing guide! He is very cultured and has a compelling storytelling, full of anecdotes and curiosities! You would listen to it for weeks without getting tired! He is very friendly and always smiling! One of the best guides I've ever met!!
Wonderful visit, excellent guide, every time Vincenzo surprises with his goodies and his anecdotes, straconsigliato!
Tour inside one of the museums that I consider jewels of Rome and that Vincenzo knows how to make you appreciate the most! His passion and experience are the keys that make us follow his tours with admiration! Thank you ❤️
Vincenzo is an exceptional guide! Very good, very prepared and very engaging. Palazzo Massimo to visit absolutely.
Don't bother with the guide. He never showed up. Enjoy the museum on your own. The collection is amazing.
The visit was fantastic and we LOVED it. We were a group of four friends travelling to Rome for work but we took some extra time to get to know Rome better. Vincenzo was highly knowlegeable and very didactic, fun, super engaged. It lasted 4 hours because we visited both the Museo Nazionale (Palazzo Massimo) and the Dioclecian Terme, but time passed so quickly! We were amazed at Vincenzo's energy and enthusiasm, which was contageous! We all agree that doing these tours is a way to learn much more and it helps with all the other individual visits, since you pay attention to things that you did not know before. We are so happy to have taken this tour. When we come back to Rome, we will certainly try to book another tour with Vincenzo.
The history of Rome for the Romans is "house stuff", but with Vincenzo's stories, new details and anecdotes are discovered; but above all, we dwell on the artistic and sculptural impacts of the various historical moments of the Empire, noting peculiarities that in the past had escaped me. Congratulations for the visit always interactive and engaging.
