My name is Micaela, born and raised in Rome by parents who were tourists themselves in Italy and decided to live here!! They were always talking different languages to me! As a result I got a degree in foreign languages, and I travelled a lot for pleasure and for working, as a flight attendant first, as a tour leader in Europe and as an Interpreter later. Traveling I also discovered my deep passion for photography, art, history and. . . talking! So I decided to study all I could find about Rome: Archeology, History of art, Mythology, Literature, famous families, Roman battles, Roman entertainments, even oil Painting to understand better art. After having obtained the State license of Tour Guide in 2010, I started guiding friends, and foreigners in private or in little groups. . . Today my job is really what I love: meeting people in their holiday, relaxed and curious willing to have a great time! It is really rewarding to me to see my new and old customers on tour beginning to appreciate my amazing city with new eyes, and with the same love I have for Rome. I try to give the best of the visit going on the less beaten streets or showing sites that are only known if you are a native of Rome - even a food tasting or a little underground visit, because there is more to Rome than the Vatican and Colosseum. Every stone here has a hidden story to tell, every spot has 27 centuries of history and I collected anecdotes on Roman Emperors and Cardinals. Besides Italian, I am fluent in English, French and I also talk a little Spanish. Combined with my intimate knowledge of Rome, I will make your visit a smooth and satisfying experience. . . something truly special, a life time memory. I always worked as a freelance tour guide, I do prefer this solution not to became an object of the more commercial tourism. However generally my job is working by word of mouth. 1997 - Interpreter school of Rome, Italy (Language Degree) 2006 -Master in Archeology and Art History 2010 - Licensed Tourguide of the Province of Rome 2012 - Vatican educational operator

Rome is full of squares very popular and other amazing spots, The Pantheon, Piazza Navona, Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain are the most famous places but going from one spot to the other we will enter some churches looking for Roman aqueducts, with beautiful paintings and look at other less famous but very charming spots that I selected in my 20 years of guiding. I was born here but there are still many spots that enchant me, and I would love to share it with you. I will tell you stories of popes and their power, how the Roman empire collapsed, and how the Christians started to build the new town over the ruins… Rome wasn't made in a day but with a local guide you can visit and understand some of the layers overlapping here: 1200 years of ancient Romans covered up by 1000 years of Middle age, to continue in the Renaissance till the modern times! How to discover the various layers of the town ? Just starting from the surface and then look around in the hidden corners that are still revealing a story
From the column of Trajan in Piazza Venezia, we are passing by the monument, dedicated to the first king of Italy, the very white Victorian, then walking trough the little streets we are visiting Trevi fountain, to toss a coin, then looking for the remaining of the Roman aqueduct that bring the wither to the fountains, we will get to the marvelous Spanish Steps, and the column of the immaculate conception, here starts via Condotti, famous for all its luxury shops, we are then heading in the direction of Piazza Navona, then Campo dei fiori and back to the area of Largo Argentina were Julius Cesar was assassinated and the Pantheon the most ancient temple of the Romans transformed in a beautiful church. This is a suggested itinerary, let me know what you would like to see and do and I will customize the tour accordingly!
