Hence we advise you to contact an authorised guide to help you make the most of your days in the capital. They can give you essential information, curiosities and stories about Rome and its surrounding.

Each authorised guide should carry their badge issued by the Provincia di Roma. If not, question why not as many improvised guides offering limited service are operating illegally.

So keep an eye open for these “ciceroni” who often operate around the most visited sites or via internet sites that offer packages include a guide. Look instead to authorised agencies, museum web sites or the communal or provincial structures responsible for supplying guiding and entrance services.

Below is an non exhaustive list that you can safely choose a guide from:

Cast Centro centro Guide e Accompagnatori Turistici srl offers a list of multilingual guides for all kind of programmes.

Sindacato Nazionale Guide Turistiche, part of a national union, offers a list of authorised and specialised guides for all kind of programmes.
