Cecilia is obviously very knowledgeable and passionate about historic Rome. She was very accommodating with my wife who had been having health issues our first few days in Rome. In fact, it was the first time she had been out of the hotel in two days. Cecilia Mede sure to keep the place slow. Definitely would recommend Celcilia to others.

The two visits to the underground museums were interesting and definitely off the beaten track, as we were the only ones visiting and had the whole place to ourselves. Cecilia made a conscious effort to engage the kids asking them questions and sharing information on gelato! Off the beaten track Underground Tour

We met with Cecilia for a private tour of the Colosseum and greatly appreciated the opportunity to spend time with an extremely well-informed, interesting and pleasant young lady. Cecilia shared information about the arena and helped bring to life the history of the people who lived and died there. Cecilia was enthusiastic and willing to spend time answering our questions. We were delighted with the tour.An amazing tour of the Colosseum

Cecilia reached out ahead of time to suggest that the best time to see the Colosseum was in the morning before it got too hot, and boy am I glad she did -- the day ended up being a scorcher. We had my 80 year old mother-in-law with us, and Cecilia was able to tailor the tour of Palantine Hill to limit the amount of climbing -- we skipped walking through the Forum, and instead she talked to us about the Forum as we admired it from above. She is very knowledgeable and all in all it was a great tour.Great tour

Through all of the heat, and massive crowds, Cecilia was able to coordinate our tour with grace. I was impressed with her ability to navigate the Vatican, all the while describing the history, culture, and architecture as we went. She was very attentive to our interests, and steered the tour towards those. I highly recommend her as a tour guide. Consummate Professional

Our tour of the Colosseum with Cecilia on May 6th was terrific. To minimize the discomfort of two members in our group, that had sensitive knees, she walked at a moderate pace and built in adequate rest stops throughout the tour. Cecilia’s knowledge and enthusiasm made the Colosseum come to life by providing fascinating insights into its history and architecture. As we walked through the Colosseum, Cecilia pointed out details/areas we would have missed and patiently answered all of our many questions. She even brought along illustrations to help us better visualize how the Colosseum looked and operated when built versus how it appears today. Due to the steep incline and uneven path with cobblestones we declined touring Palatine Hill. However, that did not deter Cecilia, she found an area where we could sit and continued the tour using her illustrations...what a professional. I highly recommend anyone wishing to tour the Colosseum and Palatine Hill request Cecilia, you will not be disappointed. Knowledgeable and Illustrations

We had the most amazing tour with Cecilia in and around the colosseum. The experience would not have been the same without Cecilia‘s wealth of knowledge. The tour was not rushed which is incredible given the amount we managed to pack into the time we had. Thanks so much CeciliaThank you so much Cecilia!

We toured the Colosseum and Roman Forum with Cecilia. She was excellent from booking and communication on tickets and meeting ahead of the tour. I had my 13 year old son with me for the tour and she was perfect at pitching everything - content and pace to both of us. He loved it and she was excellent. Our favourite experience in Rome.

My family and I recently visited Rome and had the pleasure of doing a tour of the Borghese museum. Even prior to our visit Cecilia kept in contact with usto make sure we be sure we the appropriate tickets. Her knowledge of the museum And its priceless works was extraordinarily helpful. Going to the museum without her would have been confusing and we would’ve not learned nearly as much. I highlyrecommend Cecilia as a tour guide for this museum and likely other? Thank you for a memorable and informative visit.Great experience, great museum & guide

You are in Rome so that in and of itself is lovely - taking a private tour of the colosseum and forum makes it so much better. Our guide was amazing and by the time we were done was one of the family. Watching the big groups get herded around like cattle made all of us so happy we had an our guide created a custom experience for us. Would highly recommend!!So glad we did it

Clearly one visit to the Vatican, never mind Rome, will ever be enough to understand its history (we've been many times now) but spending time with highly knowledgable people makes the experience SO much more valuable. Cecilia clearly knows her stuff and was great company. I didn't want it to end!So much to learn!

We visited the Vatican Museums and St Peters Basilica with Cecilia in December. Old buildings and iconic art is fascinating to my husband and me, but no so much to our 3 children (age 12, 11, and 8). Cecilia tried to make things interesting for the kids as well, which is not an easy feat. She was knowledgeable and friendly, and adjusted the tour based on our needs. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone!Great tour with the family

We hired Cecilia for two tours while we were in Rome. One for the Colosseum and one for Vatican City. Cecilia was a great communicator, both prior to the tours and during. After booking, she reached out immediately to plan our tours and she was always quick to respond to any of our questions. Both tours were amazing. Cecilia provided insightful information and perspective. Her english was fantastic and she is incredibly knowledgeable about Roman history. We moved at a perfect pace, making sure to see everything we wanted, while not causing any delays. She even made sure to find stationary electric fans for us to stand by during her explanations as it was unusually hot for September. I would 100% recommend her to anyone who wants a private local and accommodating tour of Rome! Bravo!Amazing Day in Rome

A few days before our tour, Cecilia messaged me to let me know that she had tested positive for COVID so she arranged for our family to have a different guide. Before this, however, Cecilia helped us to get reserved tickets for the day we wanted the tour. This was no simple task because they were sold out at one time and we weren't sure we'd be able to have the tour. Cecilia watched for when new tickets were released and quickly sent a message to jump online asap to purchase the tickets. We were sorry that Cecilia was not able to guide us, but we wre very grateful that she arranged a different guide for us rather than cancel. Our new guide was fantastic! Excellent experience!
