Who we are
Second generation in the tours business, the three partners at My Best Tour set a new standard for city tours, the sightseeing by golf cart!
The innovative golf cart tours started in 2010, the company was founded in 2012 and the first advertisement was posted on social media in 2013.
A lot of companies and independent guides are now saying they were the ones who invented the golf cart tours, but our posts going back to 2013 prove we were the first and we haven’t been paralleled yet.
Golf cart tours: the driving guides.
At this point the partners needed help. Here’s the help they got: we introduce the ones who will take you on your golf cart tour first.
Some of them also conduct tours by Vespa scooter, walking tours of the Colosseum, bicycle tours and excursions or day trips by car.
Renato
Driving guide
Giuseppe, Joe for short, came right after. His father used to run the coffee shop where we often stopped to have a cappuccino with our clients during our morning tours. One day this gentleman spoke to Roberto about his son and told him the young man was fluent in English and Dutch. “Just thought you may consider hiring him” he said. We were impressed! Not only he really spoke both languages well, but he also knew his history. His training didn’t take long and he soon became an asset for the company.

Victor came next. He’s Italian but spent part of his life in the USA.
“I crossed the Ocean fifteen times.” He likes to say. Obviously, his English is perfect. Paolo met him under strange circumstances and took him a while to get him to join the group. After the due training, which consisted in flanking Paolo driving the second cart when he had groups that were too large to fit in one, he started doing tours on his own and the company began to receive good reviews about its work. He’s easy going and has a good sense of humor.
Valerio, Val for short, was hired next. He used to work for the guys we rented golf carts from when we ran out of our own.
He spoke good English and new the city and its history, renting out golf carts in the park he was wasted and so, when he quit working for those guys, we hired him. It didn’t take long to train him and quickly, good reviews about his work started to come. He was a lot better than we thought he was, a revelation! He’s patient, easy going and good with kids.

Renato, an old friend, was the first to lend a hand. He has been working as a driver and guide since the 1970’s and, besides Italian, speaks several foreign languages: English, German, Portuguese and Dutch. When we offered him to join us and do tours by golf cart, he was reluctant at first but, after we showed him how we did it and doing a couple of tours, he liked it so much that he said it was the only way to take the tourists to see Rome. “Forget about the car” he said, “that’s good for tours and trips outside the city.”
Lorenzo
Driving guide
Silvia is a lovely lady. Her brother, who is a friend of ours introduced her to us. She’d just quit her job at Rome’s airport when we met her. She did her training, then she did it again and again. She always said she wasn’t ready to go off on her own, but we knew she was, so one day we forced her. We were right, she was ready, at the end of the tour the clients just raved about her! And so did all the other clients. She’s really good at was she does.
Silvia
Driving guide
Alessandra (aka Alex). One day this girl walks into the office and says: “I’m a licensed tour leader, do you need help?” We told her we didn’t need a guide at the time, but we needed someone to work in the office and, if she was willing to do that she was hired. In the meantime, we would train her to be a guide for the golf cart tours. She accepted, and after working in the office for about a year and going with us to the fairs in New York and Milan, she said she had enough of the office and she only does golf cart tours now.
Lorenzo, aka Milo, is a friend of Raffaele’s.
When we needed more guide guides, we asked Raffaele if he had a friend with the necessary skills and he introduced us to Lorenzo. An intelligent young man. He speaks English and Spanish well and knows the city well. After the usual training, he started touring on his own and all the customers were happy with him. While he was working with us, he continued to study at university and graduated as a business consultant, but he likes to work as a guide more.
“Raffaele, we’re shorthanded again, any more friends who could come and work for us?” We said to him. He made a few phone calls and Marco popped up.
Nice fellow, graduated in foreign languages, speaks good English and he is now working on his Russian. Good knowledge of history too. Training him didn’t take long, after flanking the expert driving guides for a while, he was able to run his own tours. Did we say run? No, he takes it easy, you just can’t rush him. Like all the others, he’s good with kids and very patient.
Daniele, aka Gibbo, was introduced to us by a friend we have in common.
He started his training with a cast on his arm, because he’d been in an accident shortly before we met him. Quite a character! He always has a big smile on his face, and it looks like nothing can bring him down, speaks excellent English and his Spanish is even better as, when he was a kid, he used to spend his summers with his grandparents who live in Spain. Like all others, he also is good with kids.

After the usual training, he started doing tours alone and all the clients were very happy with him. While working with us, he continued to study at the university and obtained a business consultant degree, but he likes working as a driving guide better.

Giorgio
Driving guide
This is when My Best Tour started to become a family affair.
We needed more help, and we asked the guys if they had a friend they could recommend. At this point Lorenzo said his brother Giorgio, who had been studying in London had just come back and was looking for a job. We didn’t even have to train him, Lorenzo did! He turned out being as good as Lorenzo and he’s now one of the most requested of our guys, especially by the ladies.

Then we asked Raffaele if he had another friend he could recommend, and we got Matteo. The season was ending when he joined the team, and there weren’t many tours that he could join for his training, so we made him help in other matters. One thing he did was push the wheelchairs around the Vatican when there wasn’t a person in the group of tourists that could do that. We used to call him “the pusher”, but he didn’t like that.
He’s a very nice guy, friendly, accommodating and good with kids…
Matteo

Giuseppe, aka Peppe, is another old friend that we recruited. He has been working as a driver/guide for many years and when we asked him to join us and do golf cart tours, he was a little reluctant, but then he tried it and loved it.
He worked for TWA until the company shut down. Previously, he had been a good enough baseball player to play in the national team. He’s also an artist and we have posted some of his works on our Facebook page. Speaks good English.

Andrew, second generation in the tour business, both his parents are tour guides.
When a friend introduced him to us, he was doing tours by Segway, but now he likes the golf carts a lot better! He’s also a licensed guide and can also take you on walking tours.
Want to go inside the Colosseum? He’ll take you!
Like all the others, he also is accommodating, good with the kids and the elderly and has a good sense of humor. He speaks good English and Russian.
Andrea
Driving guide
Here’s Robert, another seasoned driver/guide. He’s half American (father) and half Italian (mother). His English is impeccable but speaks Italian with an American accent!
He’s been around, grew up between the USA, Italy and Arabia (his father worked for Aramco).
When he was young, he ran a pub downtown Rome, then he worked as a bus driver, a driving guide and finally he ended up with us doing golf cart tours. Besides the golf cart tours, since he’s skilled and experienced, he also does excursions and day trips by car.

Angelo is another old friend. He lived in the USA for a while where he perfected his English, which he had studied in school along with history and history of art. He’s worked many jobs in the tour business, from bus and limo driver to tour leader and tour guide. At a certain point, he decided he wanted to change his life and wanted a job that would allow him to spend more time with his family, so he opened a car dealership. But things didn’t go the right way and we got him to join MBT promising we wouldn’t make him work strange hours.

The people working in the offices.
And now we introduce those who work in the offices. See who replies to your emails and more.
Paolo, one of the founders, has been working as a guide, driving guide, tour leader and travel agency clerk since the age of eighteen. He’s also a computer buff and built his first website in 1995. He set up the system My Best Tour uses to reply to emails and book tours, which keeps evolving… He works from the office by the Vatican and is mainly responsible for the web, replies to some of the emails, runs whenever a PC crashes, one of the golf carts has a problem and when there’s a last-minute call and no one else is available.
Paolo
Management – Co-owner
Roberto, another one of the founders, mainly works out of the Villa Borghese office and, as he easily makes friends with anybody anywhere, he’s mostly in charge of public relations. Planning a multiple day itinerary covering a lot of places in Italy, isn’t easy if you’ve never done it, but Roberto’s done it for years. He’s been working as a driver guide for decades and his expertise comes in handy when the booking officers need help. Yet he keeps himself busy and helps in many other ways always with a big smile on his face!

Tiziana is the company’s webmaster. She works together with Paolo out of the office by the Vatican and the two of them manage the websites, the social media and the PCs in general .
She’s also graduated in economy and therefore she’s of great help when it comes to figuring out costs and revenues. Unfortunately, she doesn’t speak English, she took French in school, but, though it’s not an easy task, everyone in the company is trying to teach English to this hard-headed Sicilian. Will she learn? Only time will tell…

The guides who take you on a tour on foot
And now the “local guides” they don’t drive, they walk, so we also call them “walking guides”. They’re all very well experienced and have a deep knowledge of the city, its history and history of art. Most of them have a university degree in history of art or archaeology and speak more than one language.
Burcu (pronounce Burju). It’s easier to list the things she doesn’t have some kind of degree, diploma or license for. It took us quite a while to read her resume when we received it.
We’ll list a few of the thing she can do, of course she’s a licensed tour guide for Rome, a licensed tour conductor, she’s our travel agency’s technical director, conservatory diploma in classic guitar, degree in Italian literature, speaks, English, Turkish, French, Spanish, German…
Okay, we’ll end it here, we think it’s understood she qualified to take you on your tour…

Massimo. We’ve been friending a long time, 25 years, which is when he started working as a tours guide. He graduated in history of art, English language, and literature. Putting all this together, you don’t need much else to become a great tour guide, right? His passions? The Vatican and walking the woods hunting for mushrooms! Before becoming a guide, he worked for a non-profit organization taking care of refugees. He likes to have a friendly relationship with his tourists, so he doesn’t like large groups. For him five is a crowd!

Laura B. Experience, charm, and vivacity. The energy of a restless schoolkid. She comes from a little island near Sicily, Lipari, but she’s been living in Rome for about 25 years. She has a university degree in political science, yet she ended up working as a tour escort first and then as a tour guide in Rome. How did that happen? Well, she did well at the university and so she was selected for a master in London, where she perfected her English. Then she worked for the European Parliament in Luxembourg, but all this was boring for the restless kid…

Alessandra is a very charming lady from Naples. She loves Naples, but having married a Roman, she’s stuck in Rome. She speaks English and Spanish and has a BA in Archeology with a specialization in museum management. Despite being at home in museums and archaeological sites, she is an amphibious guide, in fact her first tours were underwater. She began her career as an underwater guide by taking people to visit submerged archaeological sites. She loves Flamenco and cats!

Laura D. is a charming and smart lady, married to another one of our guys, Mauro.
No, we didn’t get two and paid for one, they each get rewarded individually.
She’s been a guide since 2003 and, prior to becoming a local guide, she worked as a tour conductor. She has a degree in Conservation of Cultural Heritage and a diploma from the Vatican University in Christian Archaeology. She’s fluent in English and French.
She’s one of those guides who can answer any question she’s asked!

Isabella, the well of knowledge. Besides working for My Best Tour, she also has another rather unimportant employer she works for. You might have heard of it, it’s the Vatican. Yes, she is an official guide for the Vatican with the habilitation to guide tourists through the Museums, the Gardens, the Villas in Castelgandolfo, the excavations under St. Peter’s Basilica…
You have to study a lot to get these habilitations, but her knowledge goes way beyond that, she can talk for hours about mosaics, the type of marble that have been used in Rome…
Isabella

Emilia. Born in Umbria, the green heart of Italy, she moved here to study History of Art at the University of Rome. After graduation she worked as an editor for about 15 years and then she started teaching literature and history to high school kids. She likes to teach; she finds it inspiring and morally rewarding.
She also enjoys working as a tour guide and she really enjoys meeting people with whom she likes to share her enthusiasm for our city!

Stefania, a true Roman! After working for many years as a tour manager and traveling all over Italy with tour groups, she decided to settle down. However, she liked being around tourists and she wouldn’t want to do anything else, so she took the exam to become a local guide in Rome so she could stop travelling yet continuing to do what she liked to do. As she had enough of hotel rooms, she enjoys being able to go back to her home at the end of the day. Rome is Rome and it’s her home.

Letizia, in Italian, her name means joy, and she a joyful lady from Calabria.
She’s an art historian with a passion for her beautiful home, Rome, which goes well with her passion for Italian Renaissance and Baroque. Like all true Italians, she loves food, sport, and cinema. One of the things she likes most about her job is being able to meet people from all over the world and share her time and knowledge with them. She just can’t wait to take more tourists around Rome, the Eternal City!
Letizia

Cristina, a charming and classy lady. With a foreign language degree, speaking English, French, Spanish and Portuguese, she could have become an interpreter or something like that, but she wanted something more dynamic and, as she enjoyed traveling and meeting people, she chose to become a tour leader instead. At some point, however, she had had enough of traveling and she felt the need to settle down and start a family, so she needed a different kind of job. She took the exam to become a local guide and here she is.
Cristina C.

Raffaella. Enthusiasm, joy and will power. Official Vatican State Guide and Licensed Rome Guide too. Graduated in Law at Sapienza University, she fulfilled her dream of getting a BA in Art History and improved her English language and literature by spending time abroad.
Living in Argentina for seven years, she worked as a translator and specialized in Hispano-American literature at UBA. Over the years, working in several of Rome’s museums she acquired an in-depth knowledge of art and art history.
Her motto is: Art is magic and discovering its secrets is a sleight of hand!

Claudia, before getting into the tour business she worked as a clerk at Rome’s airport where she had the chance to meet many tour leaders as they accompanied their tour groups to the airport. This intrigued about this job and she studied to get her license as tour leader.
After working as such for several years, the same thing that happened to others you read about on this page, she got tired of traveling and took the next step, she passed the exam and became a local tour guide. She speaks English Spanish Portuguese.

Donatella. She was born in Umbria, but her family moved to Rome when she was 10. She has a degree in modern languages which, if she were the sedentary type, would get her a job as an interpreter at the UN, but she's not. She got license as a dive guide and moved to the Red Sea guiding people through the underwater nature parks. Then she got tired of the water and she came back to Italy, where she started working as a tour leader. Finally, she graduated as a tour guide in Rome, and she enjoys showing her guests the secret corners of her beloved city.

Marlene. Who says you must be Italian born to be a guide in Rome? Here’s a descendant of the Vikings who’s been a guide in Rome for 20 years. We’re sure you’ll enjoy touring with her, especially if you’re from Denmark or Sweden because she speaks your language! Her happy smile and easy laughter are a 'hit' for families with children and teens. Marlene shares her love for Rome seasoning her narrations with spicy details like a true Roman would.

Riccardo, born on the Tiber Island, in the heart of Rome, where the oldest hospital in the world stands. A tall Roman with a captive smile! In his early days he developed and cultivated a passion for history. He’s our reference historian for what concerns World War II, the Landing of Anzio, the battle of Monte Cassino and the liberation of Rome by the Allied Forces.
If that wasn’t enough, he’s also an official Sommelier, member of the AlS, and loves to combine history and art with food and wine tastings.

Claudia. Born and raised in Rome, graduated in history of Art with master’s degree in Conservation and Restoration, she has been an authorized guide of Rome since 2001. Her command of the English language comes from having spent time abroad. She’s in love with ancient and modern art, yet she doesn’t leave archaeology behind. Sharing her knowledge with people is her work and her hobby. Her pleasure is wandering the back streets in search of special and out-of-the-way quaint places that visitors will be interested in seeing.
Claudia M.

Paola. Her life reads like a novel. She was born to an Italian father and a German mother who raised her in the jungles of Zaire and her first love was high fashion. This led her to work for ten years in the Valentino Couture headquarters but, in the end, it was Rome that captured her heart. However, she has always had a genuine passion for history and loved sharing her new discoveries with people, so, if we add her PhD in art to that, we can well see how she ended up becoming a tour guide, what else?

Excursions and day trips by car: the driving guides.
Besides Robert, Roberto, Mattia, Angelo and Peppe, who mainly do golf cart tours, these hereunder are the driving guides who’s knowledge goes beyond Rome, they travel all over Italy and have the ability to provide satisfactory explanations almost anywhere in our country.
Gianni (aka Johnny) has been in the business for 25 years. As a young man, he served in the Italian Navy for 6 years and learned his English. Once on leave, he was employed in the U.S. Embassy in Rome and later at the M.F.O. (Multinational Force and Observers) of the ONU, as Communications Officer for the Camp David peace treaty. However, he always loved his country and its history, and enjoyed showing his foreign colleagues around when off duty.
He liked doing that so much that, once he left the ONU, he made it become his job.

Claudio, another old friend, has been working many years as a driving guide but he’s also a licensed local guide for indoor visits of museums, excavation areas, for the Vatican and such. So, he can take you on an excursion by car to the enchanting places near Rome, on a day trip to Florence, the Amalfi Coast and other areas of interest, or simply on a tour of the Colosseum. He doesn’t like the golf cart tours, so he won’t take you on such a tour, but all the rest, he does. He speaks good English and I now learning German.

We’ve known Louis (aka Kiki) many years and one thing we have to say about him is that he dresses in a very elegant, yet eccentric way. If you’ll meet him, you’ll know. He was born in Madagascar but, as his father was a diplomat, he never really lived there. Mostly he lived in Japan and Italy. He went to school in Madagascar when he was a child and he was educated in French, then in Japan, and he learned Japanese. Finally, his family moved to Italy and he learned Italian. English? Well, we don’t know where or how he learned it, but he speaks it well.

Mauro is an old friend of Fabrizio’s. They have been working for the same company as driving guides many years ago. He’s been working this job for many years and he’s married to another guide we use, Laura. He speaks very good English and Spanish.
He’s knowledgeable, courteous and has very nice manners. He will not take you on a golf cart tour, but he’ll take you anywhere else in his car. Excursions, day trips? No problem!
He’ll also take you on a tour of Rome by car if, for some reason, you don’t want the golf cart.
Mauro

Gabriel, named after the announcer archangel, he’s got the job that matches his name, he announces and comments the sites he takes you to see. His knowledge of English comes from having spent time in Boston. He’s been a driving guide since 2006 and he’s truly knowledgeable, he studied to take the exam and become a local guide. He didn’t pass it, but we’re sure one day he will.

Claudio, another old friend, has been working many years as a driving guide but he’s also a licensed local guide for indoor visits of museums, excavation areas, for the Vatican and such. So, he can take you on an excursion by car to the enchanting places near Rome, on a day trip to Florence, the Amalfi Coast and other areas of interest, or simply on a tour of the Colosseum. He doesn’t like the golf cart tours, so he won’t take you on such a tour, but all the rest, he does. He speaks good English and I now learning German.

We’ve known Louis (aka Kiki) many years and one thing we have to say about him is that he dresses in a very elegant, yet eccentric way. If you’ll meet him, you’ll know. He was born in Madagascar but, as his father was a diplomat, he never really lived there. Mostly he lived in Japan and Italy. He went to school in Madagascar when he was a child and he was educated in French, then in Japan, and he learned Japanese. Finally, his family moved to Italy and he learned Italian. English? Well, we don’t know where or how he learned it, but he speaks it well.

Mauro is an old friend of Fabrizio’s. They have been working for the same company as driving guides many years ago. He’s been working this job for many years and he’s married to another guide we use, Laura. He speaks very good English and Spanish.
He’s knowledgeable, courteous and has very nice manners. He will not take you on a golf cart tour, but he’ll take you anywhere else in his car. Excursions, day trips? No problem!
He’ll also take you on a tour of Rome by car if, for some reason, you don’t want the golf cart.

This was the situation in February 2020, before the pandemic and the restrictions.
Everyone is looking forward to picking up where we left off.
