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!

We will start the tour visiting the beautiful Pope's Gardens on an Open Bus tour: amazing fountais, exotic trees, the Lourdes grotto replica and much more! Then we will continue inside the Vatican Museums. We will enjoy the Pinacoteca Courtyard with the stunning view of St. Peter's Dome, designed by Michelangelo and still the highest point in Rome and explore the Belvedere Palace and its amazing Laocoon and Belvedere Torso. We'll walk through the fascinating Galleries of the Candelabra, Tapestries and Maps to reach the outstanding Sistine Chapel, the mind-blowing masterpiece by Michelangelo, genial painter, sculptor, architect. Then we will take advantage of a shortcut leading directly to St Peter's Basilica, no lines. Here we will admire the biggest Basilica in the world and its treasures: the Pietà by Michelangelo, the Baldaquin by Bernini....
We enjoyed our tour of the Vatican museums with Barbara. She was extremely knowledgeable and very entertaining. The museums can be overwhelming and it was helpful to have a guide point out the highlights. Would definitely recommend this tour.
This was the perfect time to see the museum and the Sistine Chapel. Barbara was a friendly, personable guide who was easy to communicate with. She was full of knowledge that she was eager to share with us. Our tour was easy and casual but full of awe. At the end of our tour, Barbara made sure we got our cab home. As we had more tours with Barbara, I would highly recommend her as a guide. She adjusts as needed but doesn't leave anything out. This tour was fantastic.
All in all amazing. Barbara has not only a wide and deep knowlegde about that all, she also has a passion to share it. If you go alone, you go blind. Little Details and blackbox knowings make a Tour with Barbara very special and unforgetable. We had a wonderful Time with her.
