She is conscientious and genuinely loves Japan and being a guide. She was very knowledgeable, and came prepared with laminated images to help bring the history alive. He even took some extra time instead of rushing. He showed us nice places and taught us thing we would not have learned if it wasn't for him. He took his time and got a good feeling for our interests and pace. He explained to us many interesting things in a absolutely not boring way. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and were grateful that we had someone so experienced to show us around. Our tour guide was great because as a local, he knew about cool places to take us to, as well as how to get there. We had a very full day and saw much of Osaka. Conversational rather than instructional. It is well worth the time and money.A nicely tailored 4 hours that was engaging and adapted to my interests and likes. I highly recommend booking an outing with Matteo while visiting Rome. With a local expert From historical facts to the most up-to-date health regulations. Matteo is bright, articulate, funny, extremely knowledgeable about the history, and most of all, passionate about giving his group the best experience possible.

The entire group was thrilled with a spectacular day of stories and insight into the long history of ancient Rome. Matteo went out of his way to anticipate our needs and gauge our fatigue to adjust the pace of a very strenuous day. This was above and beyond what I would have expected and since we had toured with this third party vendor previously, we knew how stressful the process could be. To eliminate any additional stress and walking for our group, he left lunch early to secure our tickets and work out all of the details with the tour operator ahead of time. While at lunch after our first stop at the catacombs and Palatine Hill, Matteo reviewed the details of obtaining our tickets. I had to pre-book tickets for the Colosseum through a third party vendor to ensure they didn't sell out. He immediately outlined a proposed schedule for a full day in Rome to cover all of our specific points of interest and a wonderful lunch to break up the long day of sight seeing. We chatted over the course of a few months prior to our trip. Matteo was a spectacular communicator from the moment I started to inquire about our points of interest in Rome.
