Who I am

I’m Sabino, your Private Tour Guide in Rome

Hello! My name is Sabino, I’m 56 years old, and I have the great privilege of having been born and raised in the very heart of Rome — the Eternal City founded by Romulus in the 8th century BC.

I look back with fondness on the days of my childhood, when I would spend hours playing with my friends along the banks of the Tiber and in the valley surrounding the Colosseum.

My passion for Rome was passed down to me by my father, who, right after World War II, began offering tourist services to some of the first visitors arriving from Europe and overseas.

After completing high school, I pursued a degree in Law and graduated in 1993. The following year, encouraged by my father, I obtained a special permit from the Municipality of Rome to provide private car tours within the historic center — an opportunity that combined my academic background with my love for the city. While studying Roman Law, my fascination with Ancient Rome and its civilization came back to life stronger than ever.

Following my graduation, I took additional courses in Ancient History, Art History, and Archaeology. In 1999, I earned my official license as a Tour Guide for Italy, Rome, and the Vatican.

Although I qualified as a lawyer, my true calling was never in the courtroom — it was out in the streets, squares, and ruins of Rome, sharing its timeless stories.

After more than 34 years in this profession, my enthusiasm has never waned. Every tour still feels like a new discovery, and I’m always eager to share my knowledge, my experiences, and my love for this extraordinary city with visitors of all ages and from every corner of the world.
