After studying art restoration and archaeology in Rome, I couldn’t bring myself to return to my home country, Switzerland. But not for the reason you might think—I didn’t fall for a Romeo; I fell for the sheer majesty of this city. That passion led me to become an official tour guide of Rome and the Vatican. Even after years spent in the shadow of the Colosseum, my sense of wonder never fades. Every Roman sunset makes me fall in love all over again. The warm, golden light, the ancient monuments, the lively piazzas and fountains that whisper a thousand stories, the breathtaking museums and churches crowned with exquisite domes, and the Tiber, winding past mesmerizing sights—Rome never ceases to amaze me. And let’s not forget the incredible Roman cuisine! My greatest joy is sharing this deep love for the Eternal City with you, so that you, too, will long to return. If my calendar appears unavailable, please contact me anyway. I can organize private transportation by private car and driver. I provide pick-up and drop-off at the hotel via the driver. I’ll meet you at the meeting point. For easy communication on the day of the tour, I suggest downloading WhatsApp on your smartphone.
