Rome streets — Marco Russo local tour guide

Rome Local Expert · Est. 2010

See RomeThroughLocal Eyes

Born and raised in Rome. 15 years as a licensed guide. I know the restaurants with no English menu, the alleys that aren’t on any map, and the stories they won’t tell you at the Colosseum.

Your Guide

Marco Russo

“Rome has 3,000 years of stories. I’ve spent 15 years learning how to tell them.”

Born in Trastevere, raised in the shadow of the Pantheon. I studied History of Art at La Sapienza and have been a licensed guide since 2010. My tours aren’t from a script — they’re from a life lived here.

Marco has lived in Rome all his life and it shows. He took us to a trattoria so hidden we'd never have found it. The food tour was the highlight of our entire trip.
