The chance of combining my love for Rome with my passion for photography makes the experience I present to my guests unique. A walk during which the guest is the indiscuss protagonist on the background of the city. The idea is to leave an indelible and quality memory and to share the beauty of a city that never ceases to amaze me. This is a walking tour, for this reason my suggestion is to bring comfortable shoes since we will be walking/standing about 120-180 minutes, photo sessions included. After about 10 working days you will receive a final selection of a minimum of 40 photos. No form of complex editing is included. The perfect moment to take this tour is the early morning (sunrise) to avoid crowded places and especially high temperatures during summer and spring. Also the softer light of the early morning is the perfect one for your photos. If you have any request please contact me and I’ll do my best to make you happy!
