Hi there! Nice to meet you

Eleonora

BEFORE BOOKING ANY TOUR PLEASE SEND ME A PRIVATE MESSAGE. Tickets for the Vatican Museums, Colosseum and Borghese Gallery are highly like to sell out, so we need first to make sure there are available tickets.

EVEN IF YOU SEE I AM NOT AVAILABLE ON THE CALENDAR, PLEASE SEND ME A PRIVATE MESSAGE. WE CAN ALWAYS MAKE THINGS WORK!

Hi there, this is Eleonora, a Licensed Tour Guide and former globetrotter!

After spending 4 years abroad, 2 of them backpacking, I decided to come back to Rome, my hometown, to become a tour guide and here I am, working both in Rome and in the Vatican.

I am a very dynamic person, passionate about learning and meeting people from all around the world and I'm always excited about sharing with my fellow travelers my historical knowledge, but most importantly, showing them new places, a bit less crowded than what you usually experience on the most touristy roads, so that you can see my city through the eyes of a local.

I have been doing this job for several years now, so I've done pretty much everything (almost, cause you NEVER stop learning!) : bike, segways, walking, 15day trips with large groups of travelers, virtual experiences, food and wine tours and now I've been working focusing mainly on Art and Food, my biggest passions!

I have to be honest with you: the thing I like the most about art is all the incredible stories behind every single sculpture\painting\fresco that sometimes are so mind-blowing that are even more impressive than the artwork itself!

This will give you the chance to experience Rome as I do, with an historical passion and a reason for it. Also, it is nice to contribute to make you the smartest in the room LOL.

In Rome there is so much to know, to learn, to discover, that it is impossible to take all in just in one tour, so I will do my best to focus on the most relevant information and then, depending on what your interests are, I can add more relevant information\facts to the places we are visiting together.

So probably you understood already my goal: to give you a different kind of tour experience, informative and fun at the same time! I don't want to just offer a regurgitation of dates and names.

I would love you to leave Rome and Italy forgetting about all the cliches related to Italy and\or Italians and that you go back to your hometown with an ACTUAL knowledge of our local traditions, legends, food and wine.

My tours can be customized and adapted to suit your schedule.

Please send me a message with your interests, and I will personalize the tour just for you! If you are traveling with children, let me know, I can also make the tour fun for them!

My wife, two children and I visited the colosseum and surrounding areas for 3 hours with Eleanor. She gave us a lot of really entertaining information as we went round and was very engaging for us and the children. She clearly knew the most efficient routes and we got to see everything without wasting any time. My children keep saying how glad they were that we had Eleanor with us and about how much they enjoyed the tour. I wouldn’t normally spend this much on a private guide, but I’m very glad that we did on this occasion. Thanks Eleanor for making our Rome trip so much more enjoyable!Very knowledgeable and fun guide

Booking with Eleonora was absolutely the best decision I made for the entire trip to Rome! Her English is excellent, very easy to understand. Her knowledge of history is great as well. However, the best part about her was her assertiveness with other travelers and locals to get us where we were supposed to be when others were in the way. We visited St. Peter’s and the Vatican Museum during the youth pilgrimage for the Jubilee and the crowds were insane. If we were on our own we never would have gotten in to any of the venues, even with skip the line tickets. Lastly she managed to get us underground tickets for the Colosseum as well! Don’t think twice about booking with Eleonora, she made our trip much more memorable. Thank you Eleonora!Priceless!

Eleonora was the perfect option for me and my 17 year old son. She was knowledgeable and moved at a pace that suited us (fast, but she seems adaptable to other preferences). She also agreed to do the tour on a day that was supposed to be off for her. Very accommodating and knowledgeable. Highly recommended.Quick Tour of the Colosseum

I got a guide to the Vatican for my dad, brother & sister in law and Elenora was fantastic from the start. She reached out to me immediately so I could give her the details of the booking and most importantly, that I would not be apart of it. This tour was originally booked for a week after the pope passed away, and as soon as the news released that the pope had passed, she reached out to me to start figuring out a solve & seeing if the tour was still a possibility. Elenora was focused on still making this experience all it could be and we ultimately were able to change the day of the tour so they would have full access to the Vatican. They had an excellent time and I couldn’t be more grateful to Elenora for being proactive and committed to making this tour happen. The tour was ultimately a highlight of their trip! Excellent communicator & guide!

We had a fantastic walking tour of Rome with Eleonora! She showed us the highlights of the city while sharing fascinating anecdotes and historical insights in a fun and engaging way. I was traveling with two kids (11 and 13), and she managed to keep all of us interested throughout the tour. Her storytelling made history come alive, and we all learned so much while having a great time. Highly recommend Eleonora for anyone looking for an informative and enjoyable experience in Rome!Interesting and fun Rome experience

My son and I enjoyed our private tour it was all we were looking for and more! Eleonora provided an individualized experience full of interesting facts and background information, and even sparkled a few refreshing more light-hearted pieces of information into our tour. I definitely recommend Eleonora, and will book her again next time I will come to Rome. John
