Outstanding tour More than 10 years ago our daughter spent a semester in Rome. When we visited her we took a guided tour of the Vatican. I will never forget how fantastic our tour guide was so many years ago. My husband and I returned to Rome last month. When planning the trip, I knew that we wanted a tour of the Roman Forum and Colosseum. I was thrilled when I found Silvia's email and booked a private tour. She met us at our hotel and we spent the next 3-4 hours with her. She is still amazing! Her depth of knowledge, energy, and professionalism made our time with her fly by. She knew exactly how to navigate the crowds and she is an absolute pleasure to be with. Wherever you walk in Rome, she has a fascinating story for you. It doesn't get better than this, no need to look further.

She does it right We are a family of teenagers and parents, who had Silvia as a tour guide for both Ancient Rome and Vatican City. Silvia was fantastic at reaching all of us at our particular levels, able to provide all the information we were curious about and make the tours on the whole be very interesting. Her depth of knowledge was incredible as she was able to elegantly answer or provide her thoughts on all our questions, even some really creative and unusual questions. We would have been side-tracked and wasted a lot of time if we tried to do the Vatican ourselves, but Silvia knew the ins and outs of the place and made sure that we hit everything we could ever hope to see in just four hours, without losing any time on less interesting areas. Throughout the tour, it was like she could bring the ancient and once lively events back to life, it became so easy to picture the scenes as they once were with her narration. Additionally, although our family had some difficulties with certain bureaucratic aspects of trying to obtain entry to certain places, Silvia was able to navigate those problems quickly and with finesse. We highly recommend her as a tour guide, and would not hesitate to recommend again her to friends. She is the tour guide you would hope for anywhere.

Vatican City Tour with Silvia! My family and I are obsessed with Silvia! She was absolutely the most knowledgeable and pleasant tour guide we’ve had the pleasure of experiencing. We hired Silvia for a private tour of Vatican City during our stay in Rome. She is smart, funny, pleasant and enjoyable to be around. We were thinking of just doing a solo tour, but Silvia was able to provide color and context for things we were sure to have missed without her. Call her for your Rome tours! Thanks, Silvia!

Excellent Tour with Silvia First, Silvia is amazing! When you first meet her, you'll feel like she is someone you have known for years! She's full of knowledge of the area and when we asked her questions of random stuff, she knew the answer to everything. She is very engaging in her tours which was awesome for my fiance and I. Her English is excellent and she taught us many words in Italian. We recommend her to anyone who wants information you can't get from a regular tour! We also think going in a smaller group (or a few people) is a lot better. You get the personalized experience that you want. Thank Silvia for an amazing time!

Vatican with Silvia She is absolutely the best guide in Rome, she is Smart, makes it interesting, she is funny. We are a returning client from 3yrs ago. Highly recommend Silvia!!!

Grand Final in Rome with Silvia What a delightful ending to our 4 week trip touring Italy! Silvia was for sure the "highlight of our trip" with her warm personality, extreme professionalism, and knowledge of the historical details! We toured the Vactican, Sistene Chapel, St. Peter's Bascilica, then over to the Ancient City of the Colosseum and Roman Forum, all in 7 hours! She navigated the crowds with ease, gave us great resting breaks, while instructing us with images and stories that made you feel connected to living back in these ancient times yourself!

Awesome! Silvia was an awesome tour guide. She guided us through the Vatican City , Colosseum and Ancient Ruins. She was friendly, knowledgable and insightful. We enjoyed our tours and highly recommend her when you are touring Rome.

Silvia is simply the best ... She is very knowledgeable, insightful, friendly, funny … The Vatican tour was really instructive and enjoyable. Excellent job!
