“Alessandra provided our group with one of the most relaxed and informative guided tours I’ve ever experienced! She shared detail that made the tour come to life! She was super personable, well versed, a true Roman, and I would recommend that if you have opportunity to tour with her, you can’t go wrong.”

“Today we had a wonderful tour of the Colosseum & Forum with Claudia. She is very passionate about the history of Rome, its culture and art, and kept things interesting for the whole tour. She was very personable and able to answer all of our questions. The earpiece we were provided was clear and worked well, especially in some of the crowded areas! We found ourselves wishing afterwards that we had booked tours with her for all of the sites that we were seeing in Rome. Thank you, Claudia, for an amazing morning!!”
