I am an Expat from the United States, I have been blessed to live and guide through this beautiful country called Italy for the past 22 years. My first love and city mastered was the Eternal City of Rome, where I have lived and taught an English Master's program at UET. The University of European Tourism is located outside the Papal walls of Vatican City. I enjoyed teaching and being around the students very much, their youth is contagious. As I've traveled around the entire country, I've discovered the beauty in each region, as well as the wine and culinary wonders. My guiding experience is throughout Italy's Regions, as a National Driver Guide. My areas of expertise include the hillside medieval towns that are nestled in-between the Apennine Mountains. During my tours, I explain the history of Italy and make certain that you have the opportunity to experience all of the local monuments, as well as the iconic art and historical culture. My guiding is based on the TRUE ITALIAN EXPERIENCE. The Slow Food Movement, which they call the zero kilometer touring started in Italy because of how the food is prepared and my tours will take you to taste it all, fresh cheese, the award winning wines and truffle pasta. . . not to mention the limoncello in Sorrento after a day in Pompei. I have been blessed with a gift when it comes to guiding children and the disabled throughout this country. Nothing is a challenge for me and I enjoy seeing each of these places with people who thought they would never get there, life is meant to be lived! I look forward to hearing from you and booking our special excursions together. Please know that you have made the right choice to book through ToursByLocals, as we are the best of the best in the industry.

I have over 25 years of Experience in the touring industry and previously worked for Vacations.com and Expedia Global Brands. I'm not a Vatican certified guide.

Meeting Caron was like meeting an old friend. She gave us an unforgettable day in Rome! We had asked for an "off the beaten path" experience and Caron absolutely delivered. The day was perfectly tailored to us as she took us to places few travelers ever visit. We even saw the square coliseum! She managed to squeeze in an absolutely exquisite rooftop lunch above the Spanish Steps. All in all this was a day we will never forget. By the time it ended we truly had become old friends. Bellissimo!

Caron is the best!!! She's the best tour guide ever. She's full of joy and positive energy. We love her and our kids love her. Our kids were captivated by her stories and fun facts about Rome. Her husband even came to drop us at Colosseum and drive us around after since it started to rain! It wasn't mentioned in the tour we would have this treatment so it's a bonus! We were so grateful to have found her. Loving every minute of our day together. We would definitely be back!!!

Caron created the perfect day for us- she reached out to me months before the trip,so she was sure to get us to all wanted sites! I was traveling with my 23 year old daughter and Caron provided a car which was great for an overview- and then got us to the coliseum,parthenon, and the spanish steps on foot(she haggled with a salesman so my daughter could get the perfect leather pants!)-we later enjoyed wine and pizza at a rooftop place overlooking the coliseum!She delivered us to our Vatican tour-perfecto!

DO NOT SEE ROME FOR THE FIRST TIME UNTIL YOU'VE READ THIS REVIEW! I thought the Rome tour prices were too expensive. I mean, $800-$1500. Really? As a tourist, I'm telling you it was worth every penny. Best decision ever was to have Caron be our guide. She is a great driver and that's saying a lot in Rome. The lines at the Colosseum were about 1/4 mile. She took us right to the front. We would have waited 3 hours. We didn't wait 3 seconds. WOW! Learned so much. So, so, so great. Caron is the best!

A trip of a lifetime and Caron made it exceptional each step of the way. She was a pleasure to deal with at every aspect and we can't wait for our next trip with her.

Caron was wonderful upon first meeting! We were tired from our cruise but she had no problem going at a slower pace our first day with her.
