Hello! I'm Barbara and I come from a family of skilled woodcraft restorers, with a deep respect for history and craftsmanship, which has shaped my passion for guiding people through the timeless beauty of Rome. 

As a licensed tour guide, I have the unique opportunity to connect different cultures and eras, bridging the gap between the people who once lived in these ancient spaces and those who have traveled from across the world to experience them today. 

For me, each tour is more than just a recounting of history—it's about giving voice to the places we visit, bringing them back to life in a meaningful way. This is truly an honor, as I act as a living bridge between the past and the present, allowing you to experience Rome not only through its sights but through its stories and emotions.

I specialize in creating personalized, off-the-beaten-path experiences for those who wish to travel differently—exploring hidden gems and lesser-known corners of the city. My tours are designed for those who want to feel like true insiders, seeing Rome from a unique perspective, away from the typical tourist crowds. Of course, we’ll also savor Rome’s stunning beauty and rich history, but rest assured, good food will always be around the corner—because what’s a tour of Rome without tasting its delicious culinary delights?

Whether you’re interested in a deep dive into Roman history, exploring secret spots, or enjoying a leisurely walk through its most iconic areas, I will be attentive to your needs and expectations. I am committed to providing a tour experience that’s not only informative but also engaging and enjoyable. 

I am also passionate about making tours accessible to everyone. I am certified in special needs tourism, catering to both physical and sensory limitations, and I love being a family-friendly guide. Every tour is customizable to fit your interests, and I take great pride in creating tailored itineraries that make your time in Rome unforgettable.
