We had a Colosseum tour with Yanira and we couldn’t wish for a better guide. Yanira is very friendly, extremly knowledgeable, she explains the history facts in the best possible and un a such interesting way. Do not hesitate to book her for your memorable Rome tours. We wished we had booked more tours with her. Yanira is your best guide in Rome

Yanira was extremely knowledgeable and made the experience at the colosseum very enjoyable. She was very easy to talk to you and made sure you could understand and hear her during the tour! I would recommend her for anyone looking for a VIP tour with someone who knows it all! Amazing

Rome is historic and can be daunting to explore/ discover. But Yanira made it so easy and she brought the Roman history to life! She was also patient with my children - which is a plus point, especially in winter! Pre-tour, she followed up and explained the necessary documents and details we'd need to provide. Because Yanira has an art history background, she gave us great insights as we toured the Vatican museum, and before, background upon seeing the monuments which were undergoing restoration ahead of the Rome Jubilee. ## Do note that the queues to the sites, the security checks etc are all mandatory and as a tour guide, she has to prep everyone in the group. Also, note that tickets to the Vatican/ Basilica are timed and you shouldn't miss those timings to have the maximum time allotted inside. Our tour was on a Wednesday and she customised it so we could still visit all the sites, even with the Pope's papal audience. We managed to get pastries, gelato and even pizza along the way and ended at St Peter's Basilica. What a lovely way to spend a morning! Lovely walk with a local History Expert!

Yanira was wonderful, I highly recommend her! We were a blended family group of 9, including grandchildren, parents, and grandparents, with Spanish-only speakers and English-only speakers. Yanira did a wonderful job of switching back-and-forth, not just juggling historical information in multiple languages, but also supporting our widely-varying needs - spotting the lift for elderly grandparents who might have had difficult managing the Colosseum steps, unerringly navigating to the toilets for the pregnant woman in our group, finding the nursing room for our nursing mother. Yanira’s great guidance helped us enjoy both the Colosseum and our family time together - exactly what I was hoping for!Warm, personable, and knowledgeable!

We had an amazing tour of the Vatican with Yanira! She was exceptional in her knowledge and made the history come to life in such a fun and engaging way. Yanira was incredibly friendly and approachable, making it easy to ask questions and learn more about the sites. It was the perfect way to experience the Vatican, and we highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting!Exceptional Tour!

We have been travelling in Greece and Italy as a family for 2 weeks, taking in lots of ancient history with private guides for all major sites. Our three-hours tour with Yanira was hands down the best of our entire trip. Yanira was responsive to any questions ahead of the tour. She was also anticipatory and let us know if the precise day where tickets would go on sale for the Colosseum so that we could purchase them for the appropriate time window ahead without stress. Our boys (8yo and 12yo) immediately warmed to her, loved her explanations and felt very comfortable asking lots of questions. Yanira was super knowledgeable and helpful. Would recommend 200%.Best tour of our trip!

Yanira had exceeded all of my expectations! Italy and Rome made an incredible impression as well Ferinze. My guide was was very attentive and knowledgeable. I feel that understanding the history of the Eternal City is important for me to better feel the energy of this wonderful place. My trip was super short, 5 days is nothing. I am definitely coming back and hope my guide is around to continue on this amazing exploration tour! Im coming back!

We had the most wonderful family tour with Yanira. Her energy and insights into the Vatican were amazing and she kept the whole family engaged from the moment we met Yanira to the end of the tour. Yanira is amazing! Brilliant Tour!
