Hi there! I'm Barbara, born and raised in Rome, just a few feet from the Vatican City, I love to travel the world and explore different cultures! With a degree in Architecture and a master degree in Historical Building Restoration, I have been studying architecture and art history for all my life, working for several years to the restoration of some of the most prestigious palaces in Rome. I decided to become a Tour Guide to share my lifetime experience in Rome with people from all over the world. I'm really proud to unravel the amazing stories hidden behind every alley and square of the Eternal city, bring back to life the outstanding Roman ruins, show the masterpieces made by the most important artists working for the powerful Popes and communicate my passion and true love for my Hometown, like only locals can do! All of my tours are private and can be tailored according to you interests and wishes, so just give me the details and I will create the perfect tour just for you! I hope to welcome you soon to Rome. . . A presto!

Overview of your Rome tour

Enter the smallest State in the world, where the Popes have been living for centuries, with an Official intern guide of the Vatican Museums. . . me! I will show you the most beautiful view of St. Peter's Dome, designed by Michelangelo, then we'll see the Belvedere Torso, inspiration for Michelangelo and the Renaissance artists. We'll walk through the fascinating Galleries of the Candelabra, Tapestries and Maps to reach the amazing Sistine Chapel, the mind-blowing masterpiece of the polyhedral Michelangelo, genial painter, sculptor and architect. Thanks to a special shortcut*, we will get into the largest church in the world, Saint Peter's Basilica, to admire its masterpieces like the Pietà by Michelangelo. *due to religious events St. Peter's basilica might close last-minute without notice, in this case we we will visit another section of the Vatican museums instead of it

Barbara was so kind and extremely knowledgable! She organized our tickets and everything necessary for our tour ahead of time so we didn't have to worry. Any question we had, Barbara knew the answer and then some. Highly recommend her for your next tour!

Barbara was a lovely and knowledgeable guide for both the Vatican Museums as well as St. Peter's Basilica. She was able to answer all our questions and pointed out so many interesting items which we may have missed. We look forward to having Barbara as our tour guide tomorrow! Ciao!

There is something about Barbara! One thing is to know your craft, another is to mesmerize as she shared her deep knowledge of Roman history, art and the Vatican. She even gave us the inside scoop on how to see the Pope and we ended up on the first row. Our Renovad Retreat Bellas all connected with Barbara in their own way; there was no question that went unaddressed and she made our experience in Rome very special. GRAZIE MILLE!!!
