It was a joy to go on a Vatican tour with Valentina. She is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the art and it came across in the way she explained of the museum. She did a wonderful job engaging our young daughters, 7 and 11, who did not quite know what to expect from the day. It was a magical experience and I thank her very much for the the time!!Art lover’s dream!

We hired Valentina for tours of both the Borghese and Vatican Museum. She did an amazing job. Communicating was easy and we had no issues meeting on-site for both tours. Valentina was friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and was able to make both tours interesting for both adults and children. I highly recommend Valentina for all of your Rome-based tours! Amazing Borghese and Vatican Tours

So Valentina is informative, chatty and easy going. The Vatican would have been a hot, busy and frustrating experience without her. She navigated us in the time we had around the Vatican, answering all our questions and being a friendly insider which took out 90% of the stress of the visit. We all would highly recommend her.Great Experience

Our three hour tour of the Colosseo, Palentine Hill and the Roman Forum with Valentina on our first day of a two week "Italian Roman Holiday" was an excellent way to start the vacation for the foursome of us. Valentina was amazing in knowledge and history. We (I) learned more in one hour inside the Colosseo with Valentina, than all the previous trips there and reading National Geographic growing up! The Palentine Hill was much larger than I had appriciated and Valentina pointed out various details in The Forum (i.e games carved into steps temples converted to churches, etc. ) that I had either missed or was lacking in insight by other tour guides on visits to other ancient Roman cities thru out the Mediterrean. As the day went on, we got to know Valentina more as a person, than "just" a WithLocal Guide. . . a true bonus, by the end of the three hours, of a hot June day, we had more of acquaintances, than just guide and tourists . . . . Grazie for a wonderful day in Rome!A day in the life of the Colosseo

Valentina’s tour was smart, fun, and engaging. My students and I thoroughly enjoyed every moment. My only regret is that we didn’t book Valentina for a few of her other tours. I won’t make that mistake again.Valentina’s Vatican Tour is A+!

Valentina loodste ons moeiteloos door deloeidrukke vaticaanse musea en vertelde ons daarbij mooie verhalen. Ze tipte ons waarop te letten en door de bomen het bos te zienQueen

We enjoyed learning from Valentina throughout our tour of the Coliseum, Agora, and the Jewish Quarter. She provided great information and was also extremely helpful in connecting us with transportation back to our cruise ship docked in Citavecchia. Thank you, Valentina, for going above and beyond!Competent, friendly, and helpful!
