Guide #7245
I am an Expat from the United States, I have been blessed to live and guide through this beautiful country called Italy for the past 22 years. My first love and city mastered was the Eternal City of Rome, where I have lived and taught an English Master's program at UET. The University of European Tourism is located outside the Papal walls of Vatican City. I enjoyed teaching and being around the students very much, their youth is contagious. As I've traveled around the entire country, I've discovered the beauty in each region, as well as the wine and culinary wonders. My guiding experience is throughout Italy's Regions, as a National Driver Guide. My areas of expertise include the hillside medieval towns that are nestled in-between the Apennine Mountains. During my tours, I explain the history of Italy and make certain that you have the opportunity to experience all of the local monuments, as well as the iconic art and historical culture. My guiding is based on the TRUE ITALIAN EXPERIENCE. The Slow Food Movement, which they call the zero kilometer touring started in Italy because of how the food is prepared and my tours will take you to taste it all, fresh cheese, the award winning wines and truffle pasta. . . not to mention the limoncello in Sorrento after a day in Pompei. I have been blessed with a gift when it comes to guiding children and the disabled throughout this country. Nothing is a challenge for me and I enjoy seeing each of these places with people who thought they would never get there, life is meant to be lived! I look forward to hearing from you and booking our special excursions together. Please know that you have made the right choice to book through ToursByLocals, as we are the best of the best in the industry. Always remember that Travel is the one thing you buy that makes you richer! I have over 25 years of Experience in the touring industry and previously worked for Vacations.com and Expedia Global Brands. I'm not a Vatican certified guide.

July 2026Thank you Matt & Beth for sharing your kind review. The polaroid picture that Beth gave to me with your four beautiful children is attached to my Italy Lego design and I look at them each day! You have a magical family and I cannot wait to show you much more of the World! Know that you do have a friend for life in me and that I look forward to someday visiting all of you...
We are big fans of Caron! She created a customized tour for us starting with a pick up from the airport which was so convenient. We planned a walking tour of the city to keep us awake when we landed. We persevered through it and she was wonderful - especially with both of my teenage kids who had not yet figured out the power of the Italian sun. She personalized every step...

After spending a couple of days seeing all of the highlights in Rome with Caron, Orvieto was a fun change-up that didn't require too long of a drive. The drive there provided beautiful views of the countryside, and when we arrived in Orvieto itself we were blown away by the beauty of the Duomo that immediately greeted us. Additionally, we loved strolling the quaint...

June 2026Thank you 🙏 Juilianna - It was a perfect day to get away from the hurry and crowds in Rome. It was a pleasure to share this experience with you all. Come back soon!!! 🙌😘
Caron is top notch! Our group of 7 (ages 17-55) had an incredible experience with her in Rome exploring the city’s highlights. She took all the stress out of the trip by handling the schedule, securing tickets for major sites, and driving us (I would never drive in Rome...if you know, you know). She allowed us to simply enjoy every moment. Caron was always punctual,...
