A Magical First Night in Rome with Emmanuel
On Sunday, November 2, 2025, our guide Emmanuel arrived promptly at our hotel — Cosmopolita Hotel Rome, Tapestry Collection by Hilton — right on time. From the very moment we met him, we knew we were in for something special. Emmanuel’s warm welcome, genuine smile, and thoughtful champagne toast set the perfect tone for what became an unforgettable evening. Emmanuel was not only an exceptional guide, but also a gracious host to the beautiful country of Italy and the enchanting city of Rome. Throughout the evening, he shared an abundance of fascinating information, and his passion, enthusiasm, and love for Rome were truly inspiring. His friendly tone and engaging personality kept us smiling, learning, and asking more questions — each of which he answered with care and insight. We visited many captivating locations, each one brought to life through Emmanuel’s wonderful storytelling and deep knowledge of the city’s history and culture. Even after the tour ended, he went above and beyond by helping us secure dinner reservations at a fantastic restaurant just a short walk from our hotel. We are so grateful to have had Emmanuel as our guide. He made our first night in Rome absolutely magical and memorable, and his warmth and professionalism far exceeded our expectations. Grazie mille, Emmanuel — You made our Roman adventure truly unforgettable!
