About us

OUR HISTORY

Evolved Guide was created to connect travelers with authorized tourist guides of Rome and Lazio in a transparent and immediate way. The online platform offers both protagonists an extensive list of choices and advantages for every taste and every budget.

The project stems from in-depth market research and the experience gained by our team in the tourism sector. The goal is to improve similar offers already on the market by facilitating the user-guide relationship and making the most of digital technology.

The guides can preserve their uniqueness by customizing the itineraries in practically every aspect and thus being able to insert all their experience and passion into each tour.

Consequently, travelers will be able to choose, among the many options, the one that best suits them, not only for times and destinations, but above all for contents and ways of facing the chosen destinations. We have also thought about those who plan last minute trips who will be able to take advantage of our last minute and last second offers. And we have reserved a special section for agencies that can count on us even when they receive requests for guided tours for a greater number of customers, at the last minute and in high season. Evolved Guide begins its adventure with a local project, starting from Rome, the capital of tourism. The prospect is to continue with the other Italian and then world tourist destinations to guarantee you an ever wider choice in your cultural paths.

Because our goal is to offer both travelers and guides one of the fundamental aspects of travel: choice.

Evolved Guide is a cultural project realized thanks to the contribution financed by the “Cultura Futura” Call, POR FESR LAZIO 2007-2013 Axis I.7
