Your Personal Guide in Rome, Basil Zhouk
Dear friends,
Welcome to the website I’ve created, dedicated entirely to tours of Rome, the Vatican Museums, and helping you find accommodations during your stay in this beautiful city with your family.
My name is Basil Zhouk, and I am a licensed professional guide, authorized to conduct tours of Rome and the Vatican Museums.
Since childhood, I have been passionate about history. In later years, I focused on studying the historical development of Christianity and the broader history of Christian culture.
After finishing school, I entered the seminary. In 1999, after earning a bachelor’s degree in philosophy, the late Bishop Sofron Mudry sent me to continue my studies in Rome at the Pontifical Lateran University, specializing in Sacred Theology.
I lived in the Pontifical Seminary of St. Josaphat, located on Janiculum Hill near the Vatican. Here, I had the unique opportunity to study both the history of Rome and Christian archaeology and architecture. It was during this period that the idea of organizing high-quality tours for the growing number of tourists began to take shape.
While studying jurisprudence at the aforementioned Pontifical Athenaeum, I became well-versed in the historical development of Roman law and ancient Roman society, knowledge which has proven invaluable in providing my specialized, high-quality tours.
I guarantee the highest level of organization and planning for all tours to the most fascinating places in and around Rome.

Private excursions from Rome
I can provide you with wonderful tours of Rome, offering an unforgettable experience in this city full of history and charm.
Rome is a city with a rich history and deep-rooted traditions. It is such an important part of world culture that there are hardly any people who haven’t heard of its legends and unique heritage.
Group tours of Rome offer you a chance to enrich your knowledge with new insights, get acquainted with the city, and see its most fascinating landmarks.
At the same time, you can enjoy the breathtaking landscapes, pleasant climate, delicious and hearty local cuisine, aromatic wines, shopping, and the overall atmosphere. Italy is renowned for its distinctive charm, which is fully reflected in its capital. Here, the line between the ancient past and the vibrant life of a large modern city seems to disappear. During a personalized tour of Rome, you’ll be able to appreciate this contrast to the fullest.
Personalized and Group Tours of Rome with a Guide
The best way to discover Rome is through personalized tours, which can always be tailored to your needs:
- Sightseeing tours – to see as many landmarks as possible and learn new details about them.
- Walking tours – for those who enjoy strolling through the city and exploring its streets.
- Bus tours – ideal if time is limited and you want to see as much as possible.
- Excursions outside the city – to explore the suburbs and surrounding areas.
- Personalized tours of Rome – perfect if you prefer a private experience and don’t want to adjust to anyone else’s schedule.
- Group tours – a great choice for large families, companies, or corporate events.
- Gastronomic tours – combining an informative experience with delightful culinary discoveries.
- Night tours – to see the city from a new, unexpected perspective and enjoy its beauty under the evening lights.
An important factor when choosing a tour of Rome is the cost. In reality, you’ll save more because the route, transportation, and tickets are all arranged specifically for you.
How to Book Tours of Rome?
Travel is a vital part of life for millions of people around the world. Some start earlier, some later, but few remain indifferent to it.
When traveling abroad, there’s always one challenge: even with all the information available online and in guidebooks, planning a successful itinerary on your own can be difficult. Reviews of places often differ, the most popular landmarks aren’t always the most interesting, and many hidden gems are often overlooked. This is where personalized and group tours of Rome become invaluable.
My name is Basil Zhouk, and I offer you my exclusive tour programs, where I’ll be happy to share my knowledge and experience. At one point, I had the privilege of studying at the Pontifical Lateran University and even lived in the Seminary on Janiculum Hill near the Vatican.
During that time, I studied the history, culture, and architecture of the city in depth, obtained licenses to conduct tours of Rome and the Vatican, and became heavily involved in organizing tourist programs.
Now, I am ready to impress you with personalized tours of Rome! You won’t even have to worry about translators or phrasebooks—just enjoy the moment!

I really wanted to rest from worries and enjoy the comfort and beautiful scenery. That is why I persuaded my daughter and wife to leave Rome - the main place of our trip - for just one day and visit small towns on the outskirts. A very memorable trip was the town of Frascati, which turned out to be very beautiful and very "Italian", then we visited Castel Gandolfo - the summer residence of the Pope. It was a great day, we got a lot of positive impressions for little money. I am satisfied!

I never considered myself too sensitive, but I was simply amazed by the beauty of this town. Cute houses decorated with bright green ivy, cozy restaurants with incredibly tasty pizza and majestic basilicas will forever be remembered by me. I am very glad that I ordered this excursion - and I recommend it to others.

You will never forgive yourself if you do not visit Trastevere during your stay in Italy. This town is simply full of true Italian spirit. In addition, there are many historical monuments here, the secret of which we discovered thanks to the talented guide Basil Zhouk. I liked everything!

The Colosseum was definitely impressive. We bought tickets for the morning and thus managed to avoid long queues. They also visited all the Forums. It was a bit difficult to go around everything at once, but stops at drinking fountains help to renew your strength))) Thanks to Vasyl, who showed and told all the most interesting things.

On the first visit to Rome, my wife and I did not make it here, but on the second time we got oriented in advance and enlisted the help of guide Basil Zhouk. I would like to note separately the good organization of the excursion - assistance in booking tickets and a clear description of the meeting place. I will remember my stay in the Borghese Gallery for the rest of my life - I was especially impressed by the Bernina statues. It is hard to believe that these works are already hundreds of years old - they are really very realistic. I liked the park where the museum is located. In general, I discovered a lot of new things for myself.

I liked everything. Tivoli is a small town, but it is full of the romance of the past. Parents booked an excursion with this company. All of us were satisfied - we visited three villas, took beautiful photos and looked at the olive groves. Hadrian's villa was especially cool - the embodiment of all the emperor's whims. I want to come back here)

I liked Rome, thanks to a talented guide. This is not the first time here, there is something to compare with. Vasyl is a fan of his work, a great connoisseur of history and more. His advice on settling in Rome and restaurants helped a lot to make the trip more comfortable and planned. I advise you to apply.

Went on vacation with my wife. The tour was ordered from Vasyl. The organization is very satisfied. Thanks to Vasyl, it was possible to save money on entrance tickets and you will see something that you would definitely not have seen yourself. Rome left a lot of impressions and even a desire to come again, which we will do. Thank you very much for a busy vacation.

I heard a lot about the fact that it is difficult to get tickets to the Borghese Gallery. But our guide Vasyl helped with this, so my girlfriend and I were not nervous, but simply enjoyed the energy of this place. I advise everyone who will be in Rome to come here and see with their own eyes the masterpieces of Caravaggio, Bernini, Raphael and other incredibly talented world-famous artists.
