Mauro Girella

Guide profile:

My name is Mauro Girella and I am more than a native Roman: at least 5 generations of Girella were born in the Eternal city … and I am growing the 6th! I worked in many different fields before becoming a licensed Tour Escort in 1998 and a licensed Tourist Guide in Rome and its province in the year 2000.

Since then, I have shown the beauties and the secrets of Rome to pilgrims, art lovers, first time comers, students, architects, actors, families, large groups coming from cruise ships, and every kind of tourist or group you may imagine. The beauty of my profession is that I may enter in the Sistine Chapel or in the Colosseum or in the Borghese Gallery and say “this is my office: I work here!” I work in the most beautiful, interesting and intriguing buildings of the world! But I want to share all this beauty and history and info with you, with my tourists.

I guide several alternative tours: each one is based on 3-hour length. I may guide you through the city highlights like Trevi fountain, Spanish Steps, Pantheon – or religious sites like catacombs, the Vatican city, the major Basilicas – or archeological areas like the Imperial Fora, Roman forum, Colosseum, Palatine Hill – or art treasures like the Sistine Chapel, Borghese gallery, Corsini gallery – or we can have an alternative tour like “Angels & Demons”, “off the beaten paths”, “underground Rome”, “Rome by scooter” – finally we can visit the sorroundings of the city like the magnificent Tivoli Gardens.

Rome is the most intriguing city in the world, so rich of history not only because she is more than 2,800 years old now, but also because she has been capital 3 times: of the Roman Empire, of the Christianity and the Papacy, and of Italy. But just for this complexity you’d better visit the city of the 7 hills with an expert, native, caring and professional Licensed Tour Guide.
