Yanira was an absolutely fantastic guide! She brought the Vatican and Sistine Chapel to life with her knowledge, energy, and warmth. What really stood out was how engaged she was with the kids—she even created a fun scavenger hunt to keep them interested throughout the tour. We all learned so much and had a great time. Highly recommend her for families!Shes amazing with kids!

My Girlfriend and I had the pleasure of being shown around the Colosseum, Roman Forum, Tiber Island and Trastevere for four hours with the lovely Yanira. She was punctual, very warm and friendly, extremely knowledgeable and took a mean picture! We could not recommend her enough and she rounded off our trip to the Eternal City in style! Richard & HelenBest 4 hours in Rome!

Yanira gave our family of 6 a wonderful tour of the colosseum. Balanced with knowledge, humor, and patience. Her communication before the tour was excellent and prompt, and she was generous with recommendations beyond our tour. Her suggestions led us to many great experiences throughout the city. Our kids ranged in age from 17 to 8 and she held all their attention. Even brought visual Aides to supplement tour information. Wonerful Guide

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!
