Hello Everybody, I am a licensed tour guide based in Rome. I was born and raised in Rome, then I traveled the world because of my father's job. I came back to Rome where I graduated from college in History and Philosophy with a minor ( I would rather say: a true passion!) for art history and archeology. I lived in New York for several years and then I came back to Rome where I am blessed to "play tourist in my own city" as a job. I love my city, the Eternal City, which means " no matter who the ruler is" this city is eternal. I love to share the history of some of the most important and famous venues in town, but I also love to make my clients feel "insiders" when they explore Rome and Italy. Living abroad gave me the chance to see my country with different eyes and actually, I love being " a cultural bridge" for people who visit Rome. I do a lot of tours, but I am also very flexible when it comes to matching my client's expectations. I love helping my clients to tailor their trip to Italy from the moment I have the privilege to receive their first email. I will make sure to make your visit to Rome and Italy an unforgettable "album" of memories. I have a network of people helping me to do so. While you are in Rome, you would like to visit Pompei? We'll be there in no time with a day trip which will exceed your expectation. Have you always wanted to visit the gorgeous Capri? We will make it happen. I am also specialized in pilgrimages, such a the 7 Churches Pilgrimage and the Four Papal Basilicas of Rome. I can also arrange trips to Puglia to visit the Sanctuary of San Giovanny Rotondo where Padre Pio is and Monte Sant'Angelo All you have to do is sharing with me your dreams about what seeing in Rome or from Rome in a day trip. I am looking forward to hearing from you See you soon. . . A presto Monica I am a licensed tour guide and I am also licensed to tour inside the Vatican Museums. Some of the numerous reviews I received : 28/02/2018 Best of Rome. Friendly and Informative with a good sense of humour. I really liked the way she introduced herself and asked where we were from before the tour started, this is the first time I have had a tour guide do this. Angela 20/02/2018 Borghese Gallery She was wonderful and so knowledgeable. Sharon and Gregg 18/02/2018 Colosseum Express Monica gave us a great insight to life at the colosseum and a very clear and entertaining brief history . Brilliant. Helen 15/02/2018 Borghese Gallery Thank you, Monica, for sharing your passion for the Borghese Museum with us. We so enjoyed spending the afternoon with you and learning so much about the history of Bernini, Caravaggio and so much more. You shared your wealth of knowledge with us in a way that had us engaged and interested in all you had to say. I think you are one of the best tour guides we had I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

Excellent guide. Honest and very informative. We saw much despite docking in Civitavecchia and having to get to Rome. Monica made the right recommendations and has an excellent driver to get you close to all the sites visited. Her information is priceless at the sights. Lunch was excellent and we made it back to the ship before departure. No way to do what we did with the crowds in Rome without her help. One of the best.

We have been to Rome before, but it is quite different with a guide like Monica. She took us through the Vatican and Colosseum, and explained the history in a way that made the visit come alive. She is personal, adaptive and knowledgable. A true 5 star tour.

I took a guided tour of Rome with Monica on August 13, 2019. She was extremely good. It would not be possible to hire a better guide in Rome. Easy to rate her a 10.

We could not have been more impressed and happy with our tour with Monica. She personalized the tour specifically for what we wanted to see and was a wealth of information for all the questions we asked along the way. This was absolutely one of the highlights of our trip and we'll plan to take another tour with her on our next trip to Italy.

I'm so happy we planned this a long time ago because everything ran so smoothly like we wanted. Monica is an excellent tour guide with a lot of knowledge. We learned a lot from her and answered all our questions. It was a tour we will never forget! Thank you so much Monica.
