Eleonora was very knowledgeable about many aspects of fashion. She tailored our time with her to meet our interests. We visited many different types of stores and were able to talk with some of the employees of these stores too. We learned a lot about fashion

I spent a very productive few hours with Eleonora. We purchased much needed clothing items from local designers. We shopped everything from socks to jackets. shoes and most things in between. Before we had the tour, Eleanora was in contact with me and I shared with her my wardrobe which was helpful for her in making sure we found the right shops. I was very pleased with her knowledge of fashion, of the industry and of Rome. We talked a lot about a range of topics from hotels to interior design and architecture whilst we were shopping: Overall a great experience. I highly recommend her. Fun, fashionable and practical

Eleanora is delightful, knowledgeable, and an excellent listener. I had a very successful shopping experience and bought several articles of clothing that bring me joy. Eleonora’s feedback and guidance were invaluable. Thrilled

We had such a wonderful morning browsing the streets of Piazza Nervona with Eleonora. We were 5 ladies celebrating our 50th birthday in Rome for the weekend. We were after a little journey that we wouldn’t have found ourselves. Eleonora was friendly, accommodating to our wishes and gave us a lovely authentic flavour of Rome and all the little shops it has to offer in her neighbourhood. We loved being guided through the streets with a little bit of knowledge here and there and introductions to shop owners along the way. Would thoroughly recommend for a slightly different experience away from the main tourist sights on a trip to Rome. We had a great time. Fabulous shopping with Eleonora

My sister & I had Eleonora helped us finding some cool unique boutiques & shops around Rome; we ended up hiring her for 4 hours. We wanted to find some unique boutiques instead of super high end shops or big brand stores that we can find in US. We had a great experience & we found a few cute items to bring home. Eleonora was also super nice & a pleasant to be with; we highly recommend her service! Fun personal shopping experience!

My time with Eleonora was very special. We explored so many unique stores and she explained the story behind the owners, their buying process or in some cases their artistic process behind their creations. I highly recommend any of Eleonora’s experiences. Grazie mille Eleonora!!!

I cannot say enough positive words about Eleonora, this was an amazing experience she was honest with me about what looked good on me, where we should go and was mindful of price points that I was looking within. I would definitely do this again!!AMAZING EXPERIENCE!

Eleonora is an excellent guide! My sister and I are in Rome for the week and wanted to have an experience different from the typical tourist sites. We requested visits to Italian-made goods that we won’t be able to find in the US. It was the perfect day. We bought high quality beautiful clothing and accessories. Her opinion of the clothes we tried on was honesty and helpful, for styles and colors. We highly recommend shopping with Eleonora!Excellent Experience

We had a great time shopping with Eleonora...and a big part of the pleasure is seeing Rome through her eyes and understanding some of the history of the areas we were shopping in. As well as that, her knowledge saves an enormous amount of time as a tourist, wondering where to expend energy when you have a short window of time. We were a couple, so she had her work cut out attending to both our different shopping wish lists but she succeeded (and exceeded) all our expectations. We ended up doing all our shopping with her in one hit. We highly recommend Eleonora and will definitely see her again the next time we come to Rome.Shopping with Eleonora

Eleonor was punctual, making sure we talked about what kind of shops would be of interest. Due to the rainy weather, we decided to travel by car to several kinds of shopping experiences. Eleonore suggested colors and styles that would be most flattering and as often as possible, were on sale. She knew a lot about fashion and fashion houses in Italy since she is a fashion journalist for Italian Vogue. She was easy to talk with and created a comfortable environment to talk about the fit of clothes and my body. I was not disappointed with this experience; just wish I could have spent the whole day with shopping rather than a few hours. I recommend Eleonore to provide a great shopping experience!Shopping success guide

Eleonora was a fantastic host. She did a great job of tailoring our tastes with cute local shops. We never would have explored these shops without her. And we appreciated her honest fashion opinions. 10 out of 10 and would recommend her for any shopping tour!!!!Awesome shopping experience

Eleonora is a delightful person. A friend and I both young at heart 65’s did this experience with her and had a wonderful time. Eleonora specifically tailors the experience for each person, no matter how different their styles may be. Personally she encouraged me to try colours or styles I would not have tried and I was delighted with her choices . If you want to shop with a “ new friend” you should not miss out on this opportunity to spend time with her 🙏❣️ Thankyou Eleonora Denise and Sally Wonderful Experience

I booked a shopping tour with Eleanora. I like vintage fashion in particular but was open to at least looking at mid price designers. Eleanora not only met all my expectations but went above and beyond anything I would have imagined a fantastic shopping experience could be. From the minute I met Eleanora, I felt safe in her expert hands. She has a genuine warmth about her. She has an amazing fashion knowledge but didn't make me feel intimidated....she listened to me and guided me in the right direction. I would have no hesitation in recommending Eleanora to anyone who is looking for a truly fantastic shopping experience. Amazing shopping tour with Eleanora!!

This shopping tour with Eleanora was great, would 100% recommend it and would do it again next time in Rome. Eleanora listens to what you want and understands your style, and then guides you to the stores that suit your style and budget. Her knowledge of the local retailers is exceptional. Eleanora was able to help us get great prices and introduced us to the local buyers and artisans buying or making the product. Everything we bought was made in Italy and were the latest, fashionable brands. Eleanora has a knack for knowing what looks good on you, straight from looking at it on the rack. I tried and bought things I would have walked straight past at home. Thanks Eleanora, my mum and I had a wonderful time. See you again!What a fabulous experience!

We loved our day with Eleonora! My daughter and I spent a week together in Rome after she finished a study abroad program. Our time with Eleonora was on our last day. I almost cancelled because we had already done so much shopping. I am SO glad I didn't! Eleonora was fantastic! She created a tour just for us based on what we wanted to do, even making changes at the last minute because we (thought) we had bought enough clothes. She took us to areas of Rome we had not yet visited, stores we did not know about, and even set up appointments with local jewelry and fashion designers. She made sure prices were affordable while still helping us experience designers in Rome. Just a great experience. I am taking my husband back and will book her again. She was just as knowledgeable about men's fashion as she was women's. And a bonus- I left my sunglasses in a boutique. She tracked them down, picked them up and brought them to our flat. Perfect afternoon!!Highly Recommend!!!

Had a great time shopping with Eleanora with my 3 teenage daughters who were dubious of shopping with someone, but we had an amazing fun time and everyone found things we had not found on our own shopping the day before. Will definitely go again with Eleanora next time in Rome! Delightful and fun afternoon

I was spending my birthday in Rome and booked this tour with Eleonora to learn more about fashion and style in Rome. Eleonora was an amazing guide! As soon as I booked this tour, she contacted me to get to know the things I like and my fashion/style sense. As we were going through the tour, she would take note of the things that caught my attention and would adjust the tour accordingly. It was amazing how perceptive she was and how she had basically a catalogue in her head that she could refer to based on what she observed. I may not have been as articulate in explaining my preferences prior to the tour but Eleonora got everything right with her observations! Such an amazing tour for my birthday!Amazing Birthday Gift to Myself!

Elenora was amazing. Polite and caring. Took us to all the shops that we loved. She had an excellent eye for details and knew the shop owners. Communication was seamless through the whole experience. We had an amazing time and shopped till we dropped. Thx Elenora you were superb Knowledgeable personal shopper

Ingrid🇺🇸 United States

A must book tour for shoppers of all kinds. While Italy may mean only high street fashion and expensive luxury houses to some, it doesn't mean this to Eleonora. Sure, she can take you to those places and knows more about the fashion houses and the players that form that world than anyone (she's been a fashion journalist for decades), but Eleonora's passion is style. Style isn't a price tag. Style isn't a label or logo. Style is feeling confident. Eleonora will ask questions before the tour to get an idea of what the client is looking to accomplish. She only asked a few questions, but captured what type of stores to show me that would best achieve my goals. With a limited time to shop, she found the area where I could make the most of our time. I've been to Italy before. I've shopped in Italy before. I didn't tell Eleonora where I've been but she somehow, she picked the most funky of areas I wouldn't have been able to find on my own that best represented by style. While we walked, she highlighted notable stores and related it fashion and history. She had a set schedule of stores to visit, but made it clear it was MY tour and we could go anywhere I wanted. The value of shopping with Eleonora is almost too much for words. 1) She took me to stores that fit exactly what I wanted. I didn't do an ounce of research and now know stores that will be lifelong treasures to me (and a brand for whom I will continue to purchase and covet). She shared hidden gems that tourists can't find. 2) She speaks Italian and knows the culture. She advocated me for with sales staff to get me sizes not displayed, got me discounts (even if I only purchased one item for a store!), etc. 3) She's direct with personal styling feedback and good at styling. I asked for styling help, and she made suggestions for pieces that I would never have tried but will now be staples. When I was deciding on a purchase, she helped me to only get items that I loved. I asked to shop for simple pieces. I don't attend galas. I don't do dinner parties. I'm in bed by 10pm most nights. I work and I want to feel put together at work. Because of the tour with Eleonora, I went to stores tourists can't find, got help on only buying the items that would best achieve my lifestyle, and have outfits that make me feel better than most of the things I've bought in my life. I saved money and dressed by a seasoned stylist. What more could I want? I'm already plotting ways for my next visit to Rome so I can book a tour with Eleonora. I think she may have a website. I'm going to book through there and hopefully get a longer tour! A++ experience!!! All shoppers MUST book with Eleonora

Eleanora Eleanora was a pleasure to spend the afternoon with. She met my daughter, six year old grandson and me at my hotel. I felt like she was a familiar and dear friend almost instantly. She is skilled at her profession, knowledgeable, and interesting. She took us to shops that suited all of us. Her disposition is warm, friendly and fun. She is kind and helpful. My only regret is that I can’t ask her to join me for a coffee because we live too far from each other. You will make the right choice if you choose Eleanora to be your guide.I loved hanging out with Eleonora

Eleonora is wonderful! We were very impressed that she reached out to us prior to our arrival in Rome to ask about our interests and expectations. She also requested pictures of us in clothing that we loved in order to plan the best experience for us. Her store choices were perfect. She was a pleasure to work with. We appreciated that she doesn’t take commissions from the stores and we have already recommended her to others. So much fun!

Eleonora was such a great host for my last day in Rome where I wanted an insiders view to Italian fashion and the best small boutiques. It was like shopping with a friend and her expertise, advice and opinion was very much appreciated. I came away from the day with a wide range of items from clothing, linen, paper and gifts. Thank you Eleonora and I will be looking you up on my next trip to Italy from Australia 🥰Shopping with an expert friend

My shopping excursion with Eleanora was amazing. She communicated with me beforehand, asking my goals and preferences and then scouting possible shops. She even sent me some pictures to gauge my preferences. Her hard work paid off, because we covered so much ground during our hours together. She was honest about what worked and what did not suit me in the shops. I am delighted with my purchases. I’m going home with items that I will wear and enjoy for a long time. And we had a great time learning about fashion in Italy, as well. Eleanora even found us a delicious restaurant where we could enjoy a meal after the shopping tour. Thank you for a wonderful experience!Wonderful Shopping Experience

Eleonora exceeded all expectations when she took on the challenge of shopping with two teenage boys. Her intuitive understanding of their preferences and her ability to make the experience both enjoyable and exciting were truly remarkable. With her guidance, the boys found exactly what they were looking for, and even had fun in the process. Eleonora's expertise and enthusiasm made for a memorable shopping trip, and I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a personalized and enjoyable shopping experience.Great day!

Eleonora showed us some hidden gems and was a very fun shopping partner! She knows all of the hot new designers as well as spots to find vintage gems. I would highly recommend her shopping tour to anyone coming to Rome! She’s very honest, so she would tell you what clothes suit you and what you should leave at the store. Overall, a great tour and definitely an unforgettable experience! Great shopping experience!

Eleonora was a gracious host to shopping in Rome. She was set with different stores for all my family. My daughter was enthralled. As a father with a daughter you always want hear that your daughter enjoyed the experience. With so many stores in Rome it was nice that someone had figured out what we needed to see before we got there. Thank You Eleonora!Relax and shop

Eleanora was simply fantastic. She had taken the time to understand via photos sent in advance our various tastes and preferences and was well planned with where to visit. Different audiences / requirements (Mum and Dad c. 50, + 2 daughters 14 + 10); we were all catered for. Eleanor is very well connected - all the merchants greeted her in person!, and her background in fashion journalism meant she could give us detailed history and insight into each label we looked at. Very highly recommended! Shopping Tour Extraordinaire!

An exceptional experience! Don’t miss this opportunity to experience an exclusive, customized shopping experience in Rome with Eleonora. Eleonora prepared a targeted, well-planned, and tailored shopping experience for me. I am a fashion designer and have an educated eye when it comes to fabric & fit— and I was impressed with her knowledge and professionalism. It was wonderful to spend time with Eleonora, who was honest and direct about the quality and price points of the shops we visited. She introduced me to some of the most important merchants in Rome. I am going home with beautiful purchases — some pieces that I will have the rest of my life. Customized Shopping Experience

Lauren🇺🇸 United States

Eleonora was such a wonderful shopping partner. I learned about Rome, Italian fashion, general shopping advice and what styles work best on my body. I am coming home with quality pieces that suit me and my lifestyle. Spending three hours shopping with Eleonora was way more effective than popping into shops on my own. I would recommend this experience to anyone!Wonderful shopping excursion!

Elissa🇺🇸 United States

Eleonora was great to explore the shops of Rome with and see where the locals shop! No high pressure to purchase.. also great to be able to meet some of the local owners. Would definitely recommend her and use her again when returning to Rome! Private shopping day!

I was visiting Rome for a few days and didn’t want my time spent wasted trying to search for the best local shops and shopping areas on my own. Eleanora was exactly what I had hoped for and needed. She was such a joy to get to know and so extremely knowledgeable not only of all the different shopping locations in the city, but because of her extensive fashion background, was very helpful in helping me choose pieces and looks that worked for me and my style and body type. Will absolutely recommend her to all my friends and family and anyone that is really looking for an expert personal shopping experience while in Rome!! Thank you again Eleanora for a wonderful day of shopping and all the other useful tips on where to go and what to see in the city!! Ciao until next time!! IrisBest personal shopper!

Eleonara put together an excellent individualized tour for me and my teenaged daughter. We wanted to learn about the history of Italy's famous fashion houses, and see how the industry works today. Eleonara was simply fantastic. She put together an itinerary which included the famous and the upcoming, the eternal and the trendy, 'young' fashion and high style, the new and the vintage. We got to visit venerable fashion houses and even sneak a peek at the cutting rooms; experience the art of a personal stylist; admire the handiwork of craftsmen; and see first hand how a new season's styles are put together through the impeccable taste of buyers. Through it all, Eleonara was an incredibly informative and engaging guide. For my daughter, this was a once-in-a-lifetime experience which will likely influence her career choices!An excellent tour of Italian fashion

J’avais choisi d’offrir cette expérience à mon époux pour son anniversaire. Eleonora est compétente et de bon conseil. Très sympathique et cultivée. Déplus elle parle parfaitement français. C’était un plaisir de passer 3h en sa compagnie. Mon époux était aux anges suite aux achats réalisés grâce à ses conseils. A refaire pour la saison hivernale !!!

I took my 16 year old on a special mom-daughter trip to Rome. We did lots of fascinating historical tours and activities but also wanted to do something fun and fashion related for her. This fashion tour was wonderful; she loved the shopping and experiencing the boutiques and vintage shops. Eleonora is very knowledgeable and this activity is highly recommended! Get to know Roman fashion & shopping!

We (my two teenage daughters and myself) had a wonderful time with Eleonora. Before the tour we spoke via Whatsapp and she was quick to respond to messages and questions. She asked for photographs (showing our style) to help her plan our time and which shops we could visit. I provided notes, that we did not want to buy big brand labels such as Gucci or Prada, and also that we did not want global brands such as Zara that we could equally buy at home, instead we wanted Italian and small brands that would offer something unique and different to what we could find back in London. Both my daughters ended up with 2 outfits each and some accessories of shoes and bags. We were particularly pleased with some vintage finds. We explored parts of Rome that we had not previously visited and were very happy with the selection of shops that Eleonora introduced us to. Highly recommend. Wonderful shopping experience

Eleonora was amazing! She helped my daughter and I find so many wonderful items for ourselves and gifts. My daughter got a terrific blazer from a company not available in the USA and some customized sneakers she loves. I went a bit wild in a luxury vintage shop scoring Valentino sneakers and a large Prada bag. She even helped us find a belt for my husband. 10/10 recommend Eleonora!!! Perfect for mother/daughter Rome shopping!

Nous souhaitions profiter des bonnes adresses romaines pour un shopping adapté à 2 adolescentes et leurs parents et Eleonora a été au top! Elle a tout de suite compris nos besoins, nous a guidés dans plusieurs boutiques, nous a conseillés avec goût, pertinence et efficacité. Sans elle, nous n’aurions pas trouvé autant de choix et bonnes adresses. Tout ça avec une grande sympathie et une culture intarissable sur la mode et sur Rome ! Nous avons passé un excellent moment.Super shopping grâce à Eleonora!

I highly recommend Eleanora at WithLocals.Her years and insight in the fashion industry are such a complement to the great afternoon of shopping in Rome. We would have never found these independent boutiques that were in various prices ranges . Eleanora took our family of 4 with shopping varieties of vintage to upscale retail. You name it …she delivered . She knows the fashion scene and it is a benefit that her her style is impeccable as she is a great stylist as well. She knows where to go , finds the bargains and asks for discounts for you . What more would any fashionista want . We came home to treasures!Fashion at your fingertips

While visiting Rome for my sister's 40th birthday we decided shopping was a must. I got on this app and search shopping. Elenora's picture and info popped up. It was exactly what we wanted. Elenora was sweet, very knowledgeable, professional, and fun all at the same time. She took us to 4 different stores including a shoe store and a vintage shop. Our favorite place was shop owned by woman who has been in fashion for over 20 years. Visiting her store was like biting into a dish that was bursting in with flavor. Elenora mapped out our shopping experience based on what we said we were looking for. It was so amazing. She was extremely helpful in picking out pieces that fit our body frame and style. She was not pushy nor did she encourage us to buy anything that we were unsure about. Elenora made my sister's birthday very special. I am greatful to have meet her and when we are in Rome again we will definitely be shopping with Elenora. Eleonora Made My Birthday Special

Eleonora was great! I booked her for a shopping tour for myself and my mother at the beginning of our stay in Rome. Eleonora took us to a great vintage outdoor market with an incredible selection of clothes. She helped us find good stands and get great deals. We are not the most decisive shoppers and Eleonora was incredibly patient. She also showed is some great shops near Piazza del Popolo and helped is navigate the crowded streets. After the tour she still sent me a list vintage shops closer to my hotel for me to look into. Overall a great experience and I highly recommend this shopping tour. Great time shopping in Rome!

My kids (Ages 21 and 15) and myself had a wonderful time with Eleonora shopping for Vintage clothing. Eleonora took us to multiple vintage stores and boutiques and helped each one of us to find items we were looking for. At the end of the tour she also took time to take us to Grocery shopping !. Highly recommend Eleonora’s local sharing experience and expertise.Roma Vintage Shopping

Wonderful experience with Eleonora. She took us through Rome - introducing us to Roman brands that aren't commonly known outside of Italy. She offered interesting facts about each store - including information on how to access the quality of the garment or item. I'll be contacting Eleonora again for this fun and insightful treat.
