"Sara is a highly educated guide with excellent English and well experienced in how to guide small groups, taking into consideration our interests and capabalities."

"We had a wonderful time touring the Vatican with Sara. Her extensive knowledge of the history, stories, and artwork brought depth of understanding to the experience. She kindly accommodated our needs and amazed us with her ability to bypass the crowds. I'd read that touring the Vatican with a licensed guide was useful but after working wtih Sara, I would say that it is a must. She made a once-in-a-lifetime experience that much more memorable. I would highly recommend reaching out to Sara!"

"Valeria shared her extensive knowledge of art and architecture in this unique walking tour. Through her own research, she has developed a one-of-a-kind experience that dives into the history of the structures and streets Romans walk every day. She pointed out frescos, grotesques, and other historic elements that are out of sight or tucked away in quiet lanes, even calling our attention to details on buildings we had previously walked past on our own and overlooked. A great way to experience distinctive, historic elements of Rome in a less crowded setting."

"We loved this tour. It was memorable not just for the wonderful food, but the experience of exploring new streets and the great conversation. It was a wonderful way to learn more about the daily life of a local and get insight into the stories behind the Roman cuisine."

"Valeria was the best! This is my third tour of the Colosseum & she was so knowledgeable. I learned a lot of extra fun details. She was extremely efficient packing in information over a short period of time, but not overwhelming at all. She was very easy to understand, her English is impeccable. She also gave us some other fun things to do in Rome. I highly recommend her for any Tours that you have."

"We had a fantastic time with Frederica on the 10 tasting of Rome tour. Frederica was just lovely- she is very knowledgeable about food and took us to sample a range of local delicacies we didn’t even know existed. She showed us hidden away places which would never have found without her. Her English is excellent And she has a lovely fun personality . I would highly recommend her if you are looking to find the hidden gems of Rome."

"Best guide! "

"We had the absolute privilege of touring Rome with Pietro Paolo, and it was without question one of the highlights of our entire trip. From the moment we met him, his passion, depth of knowledge, and genuine love for Rome brought every site to life in a way no guidebook ever could. What sets Pietro apart is his ability to turn history into a story you feel part of. Walking through the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, and up across Palatine Hill, he didn’t just explain what we were seeing — he painted vivid scenes of daily life, politics, and spectacle in ancient Rome. The details about the engineering, the hidden systems like elevators beneath the Colosseum, and the human stories behind the empire were fascinating and completely engaging for both us and our kids. Inside the Pantheon, Pietro highlighted things we would have completely missed — from the precision of the oculus and how it interacts with light throughout the year, to the incredible mystery of how the structure has stood for nearly 2,000 years. His explanations made you stop and truly appreciate the genius of Roman design. Beyond the knowledge, Pietro was warm, patient, and effortlessly engaging. He struck the perfect balance between informative and entertaining, keeping everyone interested without ever feeling overwhelming. It felt less like a tour and more like exploring Rome with a deeply knowledgeable friend. If you’re visiting Rome and want an experience that is insightful, memorable, and genuinely special, we couldn’t recommend Pietro Paolo more highly. He turned a day of sightseeing into something we’ll be talking about for years."
