Hi there! Nice to meet you

Sara

In love with Rome i will reveal you all its secrets of history and art but also the best restaurants, bars, deli and local shops, night life, Italian authentic recipes and last but not least the best photo spots!

It's hard to describe myself in a few words. I am a licensed tour guide, but I am above all curious: of people, cultures, music, arts, photography, design, cinema, environmental and social problems, wine and spirits, cousine, politics... Everything! Do you think all this is too much? Maybe, but that's me!

As an official Italian and Vatican tour guide, thanks to an old dusty degree in HISTORY OF ART and CINEMA, I'm here to give you all as much info I can about Rome and the "Italian way". I come from Florence-Tuscany and I deeply know my country! Working with happy tourists since 2007!

Not only: I'm here to satisfy all your curiosity and give you tips! Ask me everything you can think of, from cultural questions to those more silly! From night life to the best cultural events, from current politics to the best/cheapest/more expensive/alternative places to eat/drink or to Italian Language tips or the most famous proverbs.

Moreover, I am also a PHOTOGRAPHER and an EVENT ORGANISER, so if you want I can lead you to the best shooting places or I can plan the perfect event for you (birthdays, proposals, business events and so on).

I am also a GREAT CHEF (people say) and food lover, thus I can teach you! Come and enjoy!

Finally, I'm a TRAVEL ADDICTED. Travel and talk to people in my opinion are fundamental to grow as a human being.

That's why I strongly believe in meeting new people.

You will never know a place better than a local... and what local? People are different, everyone has it's own story, nature and his way to live. So, the most people you meet the more you learn, experience, test yourself.

That's why I'm always happy to meet new people!

My nature is definitely social and I've always loved to make new friends and be helpful to people either with simple info or helping them in various ways.

Join me on a tour, photo shooting, cooking class or a tailor made tour, my fav! THANKS

If you are considering booking Sara for a tour in Rome, stop and book immediately. Sara is unbelievably knowledgeable. She knows everything about the Vatican museums and the history behind the Vatican state. We had two young kids and a stroller in our group, and Sara helped us find ways to navigate the many steps in the buildings. We had an incredible tour of an incredible place with Sara.Sara is the best!

We could not have been happier with our guide Sara. Clearly Sara is passionate about sharing her knowledge with guests to Rome. This was our third tour of the Vatican and even thought there were disruptions due to Jubilee and of coarse the passing if Pope Francis just days before our visit Sara created an amazing experience for us. I highly recommend Sara and certainly hope to tour with her again in the future.Simply Fabulous

We had the absolute pleasure of touring the Colosseum with Sara, and it truly was the highlight of our visit to Rome. In just an hour and a half she made the ancient world of Rome come alive in a way we will never forget. My husband, a lifelong lover of history, was captivated, and as someone who always loved learning, but never found history classes engaging, I was completely drawn by the way Sara told the story of the Colosseum and Ancient Rome. Her ability to weave together the grand history with vivid, personal details made every stone and corridor feel alive. We feel so fortunate to have had Sara as our guide. Her passion, knowledge, and storytelling made this tour not just informative but truly magical. Thank you, Sara, for an unforgettable journey through history!Sara, Our Unforgettable Roman Storyteller

Sara is an amazing guide because she is not just well informed but intellectually honest with that information! She is super knowledgeable about art, Roman and church history and is happy to tailor the tour to what most interests you. We had other guides, but they often presented the material as a laundry list of facts and dates whereas, Sara is conversational, relaxed and responsive to your perspective (and not without a clever sense of humor.) She knows the Vatican like the back of her hand, which is very helpful when you need to navigate around all the crowds and lines. On the practical side: she was very easy to reach and was able to offer suggestions about other places to visit and good neighborhood restaurants. We highly recommend Sara!!!Fantastic Vatican Tour!

We spent a long time with Sara, where she showed us all of the secret, non-tourist spots during our tasting tour. The best pizza, the best gelato, different styles of Italian cuisine... she not only knew where to go, but was quite often recognized by the owner of the establishment who was more than happy to give us special tastings of their dishes. The day we spent with her was unforgettable. We would recommend this experience, and ESPECIALLY Sara as your tour guide for anything in Rome. Thank you, Sara!!Sara knows all the best spots!

Sara was overly flowing with kindness and knowledge of Rome. Our first tour with Sara was at the Colosseum and surrounding areas. She was very accommodating of our questions, and had visuals to share with us at all of the ancient sites. We met someone who loves her city and went above and beyond to share it with us. Highly recommend Sara!!Sara is the best!

We had the best time with Sara and ate so much delicious food! We tried things we never would have and went to places we never would have found on our own. She was so accommodating of my 7 year old. Definitely don’t pass up on this tour with Sara!! So much fun!

Sara was a wonderful tour guide who brought all the history to life in a very engaging way. She is an expert historian who is super friendly and an amazing source of knowledge and stories. We came away so much more informed about the history and life of ancient Rome and cannot recommend this tour more highly. Top Colosseum, Palatine Hill & Forum Tour!

Sara guided our family (including our three children 19,17 & 15yrs) around the Coloseum and Palatino hill area. Sara was excellent communicating with me from the time of booking and she assisted me w other arrangements beyond what I’d have expected. Sara’s manner was warm, funny and incredibly informative. She answered all of our questions (including silly ones) with ease and good humour. Would highly recommend Sara. Exceded our expectations
