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

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

Sara is a great person that transported us back in time with her amazing knowledge of Rome and the Colosseum. She is passionate about her work and it shows in her presentation. She is also very friendly and approachable, which made the tour even more enjoyable. I would highly recommend Sara to anyone who is looking for a great tour guide in Rome. Beyond her expertise on the Colosseum, Sara has also been an invaluable resource for our entire trip to Italy. She provided us with personalized travel advice, suggesting hidden gems and off-the-beaten-path experiences. Her recommendations for local eateries were spot on, leading us to authentic and delicious meals. With Sara's guidance, our Italian adventure has been truly unforgettable.

If you’re looking for the ultimate guide in Rome, look no further than Sara. Honestly, I’ve never had a guide who was such a walking encyclopaedia of knowledge—not just about the Coliseum, but all of Rome, its history, culture, language, and more. She has this incredible ability to bring the city’s rich and complex history to life in a way that’s easy to understand and captivating. Any question we had, she answered effortlessly, no matter how obscure. Plus, she kept things upbeat and fun the whole time. As an added bonus, she even sorted out reservations for us at her favourite local restaurant, which was an absolute gem. If you want an unforgettable experience in Rome, book Sara—you won’t regret it! Highly recommend!Book Sara for the Best Coliseum Tour
