I have walked Rome alone miles mules and found nwew special spots and secret corners so I can not wai to show them to the new tourists that I will mI drive a vespa everywhere and i have worked many years in 4 and 5 star hotels as sales manager . I have 2 teenager children .

For Solo travellers I am happy to do the tour on my vespa (If desired ) and make you feel the emotion of an amazing and unique experience. We can see so many places in a short time and beautiful views. A little contributio for fuel is required

Paula had prepared for our culinary tour very well; she took us to interesting and high quality places. She packed a lot into our two hours: different kinds of food and drinks and we moved swiftly between places. She also included a lot of interesting cultural and especially architectural detail. She had clearly planned our two hours carefully in response to our requests and interests. She was a pleasure to be with and gave us a very enjoyable and useful experience. For the price/value rating, I am aware that the platform adds a very large percentage to the fee which the guide receives, hence the evening is quite expensive. It was definitely useful and enjoyable for us though. Paula is thoroughly professional while being very friendly and easy to relate to.Friendly and very knowledgeable guide

Paola was my partner and I’s first tour of Rome, and I strongly believe her tour was the perfect introduction to the city. As we got started, she asked what our Rome itinerary was to create a unique experience with minimal overlap and opportunities to explore niche locations that we never would have found. Paola was warm and friendly and shared many insights on the extensive history of Rome. An amazing way to experience Rome, I highly recommend. Incredibly insightful and fun tour

Paola was incredibly knowledgeable about Roman history. She taught my husband, my two teenagers and I an incredible amount of information and showed us beautiful places that we never would have found on our own. She also answered many general questions we had about Italy, such as how the government system works etc. It was a wonderful day with Paola and we highly recommend her. Thank you Paola for such an incredible experience. Beautiful Day around Navona with Paola

Paola is very knowledgable and passionate about her town and showed us highlights and hidden gems we would have never discovered otherwise. But being perfectly honest, 3 hrs. is never enough to fully discover such a magnuficent city - we only visited a very restricted part of it. 3 hrs. facts and figures and so much fun!

We were delighted with Paola. She was knowledgeable, warm, and very interesting. We had a great time and learned a lot about the historic center. We we call her again. A great guide and friend to walk around

Most food tours take place in Trastevere, which is fantastic but there is nothing more "Roman" than taking a tour with Paola through the Testaccio Market (and surrounding shops) where real folks do their shopping and the prices are significantly less. I would highly exploring the Testaccio Market with Paola guiding you through a maze of some of the best artisan purveyors Rome has to offer. Testaccio Market with Paola

Paola knew a lot about the area and some of the best spots for pictures and quiet side streets away from the busy crowds. This was a very high-level overview, but it gave us the lay of the land in the area around our hotel and allowed us to get out and discover spots comfortably on our own. Walk Through Rome
