Pascal van DuijnhovenFounder & Manager
Dutch, 52 years old. I am living in Rome for 20 years now and always worked in the hospitality business. I studied history and languages in Leiden, Netherlands. In 2020 I had the opportunity to start the Etuk business and I strongly believed in sustainable tourism. The start was tough, but we made our way and I am proud to have such a great and passionate team of collaborators. Besides history my passions are tennis, music, mountains and travelling. Let’s make Rome a better place!

Cristiano PetrucciTour Leader & Certified Gelato Lover
49 years old. After spending several years in Japan and Thailand, I finally returned to Europe and made Rome my home. I’m deeply passionate about Roman and Egyptian history, and I’ve turned that passion into my daily job – and what a thrill it is!
I love what I do and I can’t wait to have fun with my passengers as we zoom through the cobbled alleys, hidden villages, and iconic monuments of the Eternal City.
Every tour is a ride through time – with plenty of stories, smiles, and surprises along the way.
Let’s turn history into adventure, and make your Roman holiday unforgettable (with a scoop or two of gelato, obviously)!
