Ciao, I’m Karin, a licensed tour guide and art historian, and Rome is the city I chose to call home. I was born in Eastern Europe, grew up in Israel, and eventually followed my passion for art and history all the way to Italy. I hold both a B.A. and an M.A. in Art History, specializing in the Italian Renaissance, which allows me to share Rome’s artistic heritage with depth, clarity and genuine enthusiasm! For more than half a decade, I’ve been guiding private and small-group tours in English, Russian, Hebrew and Italian. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all itineraries. Instead, I create personalized experiences based on your interests—whether you’re drawn to Renaissance masters, ancient history, contemporary street art or the quieter corners of local Roman life. I often guide visitors through iconic museums such as the Borghese Gallery, I lead immersive journeys through the Colosseum and Roman Forum, and also help guests navigate the Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel and St. Peter’s Basilica with confidence and providing proper context. As an “elective Roman,” someone who chose Rome rather than being born here, I believe I bring a fresh and curious perspective to its stories, artworks and neighbourhoods. My goal is always the same: to make art and history engaging, accessible, and memorable for every visitor. I look forward to welcoming you to Rome—a presto!

A journey through Rome’s most powerful Caravaggio masterpieces and Baroque treasures.
Overview of your Rome tour
Discover the artistic heart of Rome on a captivating tour dedicated to Caravaggio and the treasures of the Eternal City. Begin at the Church of Santa Maria del Popolo, where Renaissance harmony meets dramatic Baroque intensity. Continue to the Church of Sant’Agostino, home to Caravaggio’s moving masterpiece The Madonna of the Pilgrims, a revolutionary portrayal of faith and humanity. The journey then leads to the Church of San Luigi dei Francesi, where three extraordinary works by Caravaggio await: Saint Matthew and the Angel, The Conversion of Saint Matthew, and The Martyrdom of Saint Matthew, masterpieces of light, shadow, and emotion. Conclude the experience at the Galeria Doria Pamphilj, an elegant palace gallery housing one of Rome’s finest private art collections, where Caravaggio’s genius is set among works by great masters. This tour offers an unforgettable immersion into art, history, and the dramatic soul of Baroque Rome.
