Ciao! Let me introduce myself: I am Silvia P. a licensed tourist guide of Rome and Vatican City. I am class '74 I am married and I have a 10 years old son. How does it get better than that? Well it does with my job! My husband is french and we lived in London for a while but he once said to me that me without Rome. . . not working. . it is like I need my air!!! Guiding has been my full time job for the past 26 years. . . . and I just love it. I am passionate about what I do and my goal is for my clients to be able to fall in love with Rome the way I do. After all the experience in the field and the knowledge I have cultivated I feel confident to say that I am the most reliable person to help you plan your stay in Rome. I like to call myself a Concierge guide: giving you advices and guidance not only about the tours and the best time to visit the main sites in terms of crowds and weather, but also helping you with tips only a local can give. . . where is the best Gelato? or the best Pizza? Whether you want to dive in history and art or catch the more glamorous side of Rome, if your holiday is about having fun with your kids. . . I am your guide! I can arrange all sorts of tours, if there is something you are curious about, or you have heard of but it is not listed. . . send me an email and I will help you make it happen. All my tours are with skipping the lines tickets and timing can change for the tours depending on the season and the day I will advice you in what is best for you. In high season in order to confirm the tour I need to check tickets availability first. My number one priority is to give you a memorable experience of Rome and help you make the most of your time here. Tourist guide License 2000 Majored in Anthropology in 2004 I am not a driver. I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

A stroll along the most famous sites of Rome: Spanish steps, Trevi fountain, Pantheon, and Navona square just to name a few. This can be considered also an introduction tour to the city, because we will cover the historical centre where normally you will be staying, so it will help you navigate the city by yourself after. Roman social life takes place a lot outdoor and the iconic monuments that we will visit are also the most common gathering places for locals. Taste the atmosphere of Roman piazzas and the grandiosity of Baroque artworks. Discover how the genius and the creativity conveyed the Papal power between 1600s - and 1700s. Plus a local point of view will be helpful to understand where to stop by yourself and which areas to avoid. Which one is suitable for shopping and where you can find something unique as a memory of your staying.

Silvia was a great guide. She was very professional and knowledgeable. We were able to learn so much about Ancient Rome in the one day we spent with her. We enjoyed an amazing day in Rome.
Silvia brought history to life with her outstanding knowledge of Rome and its history. She made us feel so comfortable with a friendly conversational manner. She made us feel at home and excited to be part of her city. Her English is impeccable and makes everything easy to understand. We are thrilled that we chose to share the day in Rome with Silvia and are so much better for it. Do not miss out on the opportunity to share a tour with Silvia!
Silvia did a great job walking us through the well-known and busy tourist sites of Rome, guiding us pass the lines and providing insights not commonly known. I have visited many of these sites in the past and missed many interesting aspects that Silvia pointed out and which deepened my respect for these amazing monuments. She was very personable, answered all our questions with an amazing knowledge of history. Silvia was a joy to tour with.
Our tour across Rome was great with Silvia. I scheduled this walking tour the afternoon of our first day in Rome after a red eye flight with the sole goal of keeping our family awake and moving. Silvia kept us entertained and stimulated so we forgot the jetlag. I liked that she took us to all the favorites, but also some unexpected places, like where they found ancient aqueduct running underneath an (air conditioned) department store. Silvia was very knowledgeable and my kids and I enjoyed her very much.
I cant say enough good things about Silvia. She made our vacation! She speaks excellent English and her knowledge of art is unmatched! She went above and beyond to accommodate us during each tour and customized it based on our interest. This was a great tour to start our vacation. We were able to better understand the city and its history.
depending on the hotel location the tour will comprehend: - Trevi Fountain: Rome is a city full of fountains but the most iconic one is for sure Trevi. . . remember to bring a coin. . . we do want to toss a coin and make a wish - Spanish steps: we will feel like Audrey Hepburn in "Roman Holidays" - Pantheon: why Rome is the Eternal city? visit the Pantheon will shade some light into that, understanding how amazing is that an original building of the II century A. D. it is still commonly used. - Navona square: a square doesn't have to be square that is why we call it Piazzas because anywhere we can gathered and have social life, talk, enjoy a coffee it is a Piazza. Please contact me for customization.
