Hi, I'm Max.
Ciao! I'm Max, a licensed tour leader and landscape guide based in Rome—but more than anything, I’m a storyteller. With a background in literature and culture and nearly a decade of experience in tourism, I craft tours that go beyond the ordinary. Forget dry history lessons and endless lists of names—my tours are all about emotions, humor, and connection. I bring Rome’s past to life with vivid storytelling, unexpected details, and a deep passion for the city’s hidden gems. Whether it's unraveling fascinating legends, sharing insider secrets, or revealing the quirks of Ancient Rome, I make sure every moment is engaging and special. If you’re looking for a fun, insightful, and unforgettable way to explore Rome, let’s take a walk together. You won’t just see the city—you’ll feel it, understand it, and leave with stories that stay with you long after the tour ends.
