Hello, my name is Alessandra and I was born and grew up in Rome - a true local! I graduated in 1995 with a degree in Art History and have worked in art communication ever since. In developing didactic projects I've collaborated with Universities, Museums and Government Agencies. Most importantly, I spent several years at the MACRO (Museo Arte Contemporanea Roma) followed by even more years at the Trajan Markets (Imperial forums Museum). So, as you can see my interests in art range from the far past to the immediate present. For the past seven years I've worked as a private tour guide and I love it. I believe a walk through Rome is a walk through time, from the earliest settlement on the Palatine to the still busy artisan neighborhoods, from the Christian churches to the Jewish Ghetto. I specialize in tailor-made tours for first time or repeat visitors seeking more in depth knowledge of the city. I enjoy working with families and children and have had great experiences with tourists who have mental or physical disabilities as well. ". . only in Rome do you really get to know Rome. . " J. W. Ghoethe Italian Journey, 1786-1788. Strolling through this ever surprising city aided by maps, drawings, photos and writings of each historical period, we'll penetrate and truly experience Rome! I am licensed tour guide of Rome with a degree in Art History . I spent several years at the MACRO (Museo Arte Contemporanea Roma) followed by even more years at the Trajan Markets (Imperial Forum Museum) In December 2018 I successfully completed the course: "Fundamentals of Extraordinary Tour Leading" I can organize a customized tours (full day or half day) with luxury private car and driver.

Overview of your Rome tour

Walking across Tiber Island, we reach Trastevere on the right bank of the Tiber. Trastevere developed as an area for merchants, sailors, fishermen, and foreigners. It maintains its old character: cobbled streets, ancient houses, and artisan workshops. This is the perfect place to taste typical Roman food. We visit picturesque food shops and talk with the owners. Thanks to anecdotes and old pictures we have the occasion to discover another aspect of the city. We stop in an artisan bakery, Innocenti, where you can find tasty cookies and traditional cakes. We visit Antica Caciara, a historical shop where shepherds used to bring their "caci" (cheese). There we taste different varieties of Italian cheese, prosciutto, and salami. And what about a stop for a gourmet gelato made only with the freshest ingredients? Walking along, exploring the area, and tasting different foods, we reach the award-winning Bistrot il Maritozzo Rosso where we sample traditional pasta and savory maritozzi.
