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

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

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!

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

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

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!

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

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!

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!

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!
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!
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

Eleonora was well prepared, as she had asked for photos and ideas well before our trip. She is forthright but not pushy - she is honest about what works for you and what perhaps doesn’t work so well. This independent advice is invaluable and she will also advocate for you with the shop staff. I spent much less than I normally would, and was much happier with my purchases as a result, because she knew when to splurge and when to save. She was particularly helpful with my partner, who at nearly 2 metres tall, finds it really difficult to find clothes. She took us to a specialist shop and he found exactly what he was looking for, even though we had looked for days beforehand in both Milan and Rome. Would definitely recommend shopping with Eleonora, and I will search her out again next time I am in Rome. Fantastic shopping experience!

My husband, a friend and I had a wonderful tour shopping with Eleanora. Even my husband enjoyed the day, chatting with Eleanora and purchasing some terrific new Italian shoes. She quickly sized up our interests, budget and style and led us to numerous boutique shops which were a perfect match. There was no pressure to buy (she does not receive any commissions from the shops), and in fact she would tell you NOT to purchase an item that did not flatter you. Overall, I spent about 20% more than I would have for similar items in the US, but feel that the quality was higher and they were far more unique than the typical US offerings. Like shopping in Rome with your BFF

10/10 rating for Eleonora. Amazing guide & knowledge of the fashion industry. I’d emailed & chatted with Eleonora, sending pics, questions, preferences & goals for our day together. I gave her as much detail as I could to max the time we’d share. We accomplished all & more. We even met with a jewelry designer & pick from the men’s collection. Outstanding taste & style as a fashion/shopping guide. Highly recommend Eleonora. Guided shopping with a pro

My 17 year old daughter and I had a fabulous time shopping with Eleonora! I only wish we could have started our Italian adventure with her tour instead of at the end; she was full of so many great recommendations for other shopping experiences and we didn’t have the time to explore them all.
Eleonora took us to a range of shops in our neighborhood of Campo di Fiori. She carefully curated a mix of boutiques and shops - some more for my daughter, some me, and some both! We visited very cool Italian stores that we would not have found on our own. No big brands on this tour!
Our favourites were two fabulous vintage stores with a great mix of labels and different periods. I bought a gorgeous 90s era Balenciaga tuxedo suit, never worn. The pants needed a little tailoring, so Eleonora arranged for her talented tailor friend who is an artisan in her own right (and retired) to help me at the last minute (7pm) as we were leaving town in less than two days. And at the second vintage store which was equally fabulous, my daughter found a beautiful black Balenciaga 90s era cocktail dress.
My daughter wore the dress on our last night, and I wore a fun yellow sundress that I picked up at another store for our last tour. We also had a couple other pieces we found and shoes!
It was just a pleasure to walk around with Eleonora through the various streets, as she knew everybody and it made us really feel like we are part of a neighbourhood and welcomed. Highly recommend this tour!
A highlight of our trip!

We were in Rome on a Sunday and have big and tell men. Eleonora found the perfect men's store to take us to. When the men got tired she put them in a cute cafe with drinks and we went to some women's stores. She knows quality and she will cater to you. Fantastic experience for big and tall

My 20 yr old daughter and I enjoyed an afternoon shopping spree with Eleonora. After a solid week of a jam-packed touring, I wanted to schedule an activity that would give us a break from museums and tourist sites. We had a wonderful time! Scheduling was easy, Eleonora was very accommodating...even meeting us at our apartment. It was refreshing to have Eleonora with us to share her expertise and we both really appreciated how honest and sincere she was. We loved having a "local" to guide us, assist with any language issues and explore areas we may have missed. I would highly recommend Eleonora for anyone who wants help planning an out-of-the-box shopping excursion or if you were shopping for a particular event (like a wedding), etc. I look forward to staying in touch with her and hiring her again on our next trip to Rome!Fun Afternoon Shopping Spree with Eleonora

Out shopping tour with Eleonora was a pleasure. From the very beginning she understood our likes and dislikes. Her knowledge of stores and boutiques in the area where we shopped is phenomenal. She guided us to the right ones for us and helped us find things that suited us. In addition, along the way she showed us a few of Rome’s hidden artistic treasures.Shopping with pleasure

We loved our experience with Eleanora. She took us to unique shops that we never would have found on our own. She was good about telling you if she believed something was overpriced or not flattering. She gave us the names of shops to visit when we had free time. It was lovely to spend the day with her. She curated a successful shopping day for all three of us even with an age gap of 30 years. I would definitely use her again and recommend her to others. Wonderful guide

My shopping experience with Eleonora was fantastic! She took me to stores that I would've never visited on my own, which were all exquisite. I requested that she take me to stores of only Italian designers, and she curated the most beautiful designer stores suited for both my mother and I. This experience really made our trip to Italy! If you're looking for a great way to navigate the many shopping destinations throughout Rome than book Eleonora as she takes away all of the guesswork and puts you onto secret gems that you may not have found otherwise. The Best Part Of My Trip To Rome!

My husband and I booked this tour and wish we had another day with Eleonora! She responded promptly to our texts, gave us her honest opinion about the clothing we tried, took us to local Italian boutiques (which we loved) and was very organized.
She even gave us wonderful advice on restaurants and places to visit.
5 stars!Loved Eleonora and this experience!

My 13 year old daughter and I booked a trip with Eleonora primarily to shop for her. She is at the age when she wants to wear sweatpants and oversized hoodies, and I was a little nervous about what Rome would offer for her. Eleonora knew exactly what would appeal to her, and after popping into a few vintage shops to get a "feel", we walked to an area where we found an Italian store of my daughter's dreams. We left with 2 full shopping bags and a very happy teenager. On our walk, Eleonora pointed out the best shops for me, my husband as well as food shops, restaurants, and even home furnishing stores. She told us which shops to avoid as well which was fantastic. In the dressing room, she explained how clothes should look and fit, and was very adept at working with a teenager, making her feel very comfortable. I would highly recommend Eleonora if you are interested in shopping! In fact I will probably book another session for her just for myself :). Grazie tante, Ele!Fantastic shopping experience with an expert

Eleonora is Roma personified in grace and elegance! There are not enough positive adjectives to describe Eleonora and her skill in shopping or of her character. Our tour was purchased for my wife's 50th birthday, and Eleonora not only made us feel immediately like close friends, she introduced us to the shopping experience that truly matched our desires. 100 stars.Eleonora is Roma, personified!

Eleonora was a great shopping tour guide. She asked about my personal style and helped me find pieces that were very special. The stores we visited were not touristy and nothing I would have found by myself. I am an avid shopper and was so impressed! I would highly recommend. I enjoyed my tour so much!!!! Fantastic Tour with a Rome Local!

Eleonora took us to shops that we would never have found on our own. She was quick to assess our styles and was honest about what was a good buy or a worthy splurge and what was not. It was very helpful to have her communicate with the shop owners on our behalf and it was obvious she was a well respected patron. Eleonora was fun to be with, and passionately shared her knowledge about fashion and about Rome. If you like to shop and want the inside scoop in Rome you would be wise to hook up with Eleonora! Fantastic, unique shopping experience with Eleonora!

My best friend and I went shopping with Eleonora while in Rome. Eleonora is very professional and efficient. She brought us to some great shops. Was able to communicate with shop owners about our needs. She had no trouble speaking directly with shop owner. Even telling us at one point “ Shop is just trying to sell , that doesn’t fit you.” She would not allow them to divert from the shopping goals and completely took control so we could get our needs met. She was able to identify what would not fit me correctly (said the arm opening would be too small!) just by looking at it on the hanger. An amazing professional. She was very direct and honest with her opinions on style, fit, and what works. She was gracious and polite when I purchased something she said was overpriced. When I checked online later ,of course ,she was right. She does her homework on what you want so take the time to be specific about what you’re looking for. Worth the price! We had fun and was able to get some new and vintage things.Great fun with a shrewd professional!

I highly recommend booking a shopping experience with Eleonora! She is incredibly knowledgeable on all topics fashion, and she was well prepared for our shopping trip.
Eleonora had asked me to send a few pictures along with my sizes and wishes beforehand, and she went scouting before our meeting and sent me pictures of various items she had found for me.
She worked very efficiently and knew exactly what we were looking for in all of the shops.
Eleonora was spot on with all the items she picked out for me, and she was honest and helpful. I will definitely book again next time I am in Rome.Perfect shopping experience

Eleonora is AMAZING! What started out as a shopping adventure ended up being the best shopping experience + tour of the city + insider gossip + coolest person we experienced in our whole time in Rome. Eleonora took us to the most amazing, small out-of-the-way boutiques, knew every detail about each shop, really listened to what my wife and I were interested in and surprised us with unexpected buys, information about each boutique shop or jewelry store, the people who owned them, their connection to designers, painters, etc. She knew where to go to find the up-and-coming designers, and found the absolute coolest jewelry shop with earrings made by one of the Fendi daughters, Dali-style. She found beautiful blouses, funky shoes, amazing jewelry, cool shirts, hats. Along the way she showed us the best frame-maker in Rome, Rome's great violin maker - and everyone had a story that Eleonora made part of our tour.
This wasn't just our favorite tour in Rome. It was one of the best tours we've ever done.
Also, important to note, Eleonora does not take commissions from the merchants she takes you to. She is a total pro, and my wife and I recommend this tour, and Eleonora, at the very top of our list. ABSOLUTELY THE BEST OF THE BEST!

I was dubious about using a personal shopper for a 14 year old but it turned out to be such a special day. We’d already spent hours in and out of the shops but with Eleonora’s help found totally new ones we’d never even noticed and tried on things that we would otherwise have never found. Eleonora has an encyclopaedic knowledge of Rome it’s shops and designers and is rightly and fiercely proud of them. She’s lead by you and your own sense of style but gently guides you into directions you might not have otherwise gone. Whether you go or not is up to you! It was an absolute joy and the 14 year old Tilly loved it. Eleonora’s value to an older shopper with a bigger budget is obvious but it’s also a fun and different thing to do with a younger shopper. There’s no pressure to buy anything at all (she works for you not the shops) and tailors choice of shop to your budget. We came out with 4 or 5 pieces that Tilly loved but would never have found otherwise. I can’t recommend highly enough.
Grazie Mille
Stephen & Tilly xWhat a special day!
Very friendly pleasant experience! I would highly recommend this shopping trip. Eleonora asked ahead of time what we were looking for and tailored the day to meet our needs. Rome Shopping!

Eleanora was fantastic. She was well prepared, having spent some time researching what was in shops right now in my area and was able to show me her ideas so we could navigate stores efficiently. She obviously is well connected and has good relationships with many store owners and stylists. Eleanora helped me choose confidently, and gave me her honest opinion on what worked well, what didn't, and when prices were unreasonable. She made the day a lot of fun for me, it was the highlight of my time in Rome!Fantastic fun shopping!

More about me
I would love to show you all the secret shopping spots of Rome. I work as a fashion journalist and I am a contributor of Vogue Italia, La Stampa ( one of the most important italian newspaper) and the italian newsletter Chi è Chi della Moda. I go twice a year to Milano Fashion Week and to Florence for the Pitti Fair on Men Fashion Looking forward to meeting you and having a good time while discovering the fashion pieces you've been looking for! Very important the tour is 80 euros per hour and IT IS NOT PER PERSON, so you will pay the same if you are 2 or 3 or even 4 people. You have to add the Withlocals commissions I recommend three hours because it gives you the right time to decide and try the items. I don’t take any commissions from the stores in order to be objective on my judgement If something doesn’t fit I say it! For women, men and teenagers
