He is so knowledgeable about all things Rome, every question we had he was able to answer in incredible detail. He is funny and entertaining and simply the best guide we could ask for.

  I have been joining The Grand Tout Italy Virtual Tours regularly in 2020 and 2021. They are informative and entertaining - and can be joined from wherever you are in... read more the world. I have even been "on tour" when I was on holiday somewhere else in Australia - away from my home town - just by opening my laptop!I Mario is not only incredibly knowledgeable, but has a gift for how to select, package and present information (in this case for online tours) - a rare skill I think. I miss seeing Italy in person because of these very uncertain times - but joining a virtual tour with Mario is the next best thing. Highly recommended.

  Flying over roofs of Firenze, to have a look into the galleries of Uffizi, to see Santa Maria Novella from above and then to jump over the undulating hills of... read more Tuscany to Milano, go down to see the Sforza Castle and to hear how Leonardo da Vinci entertained Ludovico Moro and his court with gigantic machinery and robotic monsters, even to see it enacted on film – it seems that the pleasure of travelling returns to us, with more joy than before. And yes, it can be done now, in these tumultuous times, despite of all the restrictions imposed on travelling. Just take a virtual tour organized and guided by Mario. With his knowledge of Italian art and culture, he zooms us through the land and history with enthusiasm. So far, I have taken quite a few of these tours and plan to go for more. It is an immense pleasure for me, it is a journey like no other, and also a flight over the memory lane, with the warm feeling of satisfaction, I’m sure you all know why. Try it!
