Hi, I’m Claudio
Hi, I’m Claudio
I’ve lived in Rome for 44 years
I speak English, French, Italian, Portuguese, Swedish
I am Tour Leader
Born and raised in Rome, Italy, I studied anthropology and ethnomusicology and after being Tv-cameraman, sound technician, mechanic, music producer, oil platform washer, kinder-garden assistant, bicycle mechanic and seller, I became a guitar maker and discovered my real interests: music and tourism! Now I spend my time enjoying these two passions trying to be the best at them in a professional way with a special attention to my local traditions. I became a tour leader in 2009 and professional musician in 2013. I speak Italian, English, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish and French.

My reviews
-
Claudio was a very excellent and kind host who paid attention to my unique needs. He took me to boutiques that I never would have found by myself, helped me find pieces that work for me and gave advice for my style. We paused for beverages and for beautiful vistas of Rome. The pace was very good for me and we took care of everything on my list: gifts for family, something for the home, and many lovely things for me. I am not a great shopper. Prior to my afternoon with Claudio, I was not finding the kinds of shops that suited me. He gave me advice for any further shopping if I need it.

Claudio was a wonderful host who took me to the exact types of boutiques that I wanted. We covered everything on my list in shops I never would have found on my own. We paused for history and beautiful vistas while keeping a pace that was good for me. Claudio gave me good clothing advice and helped find sizes for me.

Claudio was amazing! We had a great time and he was able to show us great food places, churches, fun facts, and make recommendations!

Not only was Claudio hospitable and able to translate, locate, and recommend, he had a great ability to find hidden gems and strike up conversations! Would highly recommend for couples looking to immerse themselves in Rome and acclimate easily.
