Hello and thank you for taking the time to take a look at my profile! I am an officially licensed National Tour Guide (plus Vatican city licensed) with an art history bachelor's degree and I truly love to share my knowledge and passion for this magnificent country. As well as being a true Roman (born here and lived here most of my life) with an in-depth knowledge of what this unique city has to offer, I am fully fluent in English since I have also lived many years in the U. K. First in Cambridge where acquired my bachelor degree followed by a loving time in London for a total of more then 10 years where I also acquired much experience in the tourism field. I am also half Swedish from my mother's side which makes me not only fluent is Swedish but the perfect bridge of cultures between the northern Anglo-Saxon, Scandinavian and the passionate Latin ones. Since my return to the eternal city I have acquired the official license as a tour guide which allows me to legally practice throughout this wonderful country and the Vatican city. Since 2022 I have also started working as one of the office tour guides for the American Embassy in Italy based here in Rome. Through this collaboration I have had the privilege and honor of touring with many political figures such as Ambassadors, Senators during their State Visits. It was true a personal privilege touring with Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House during her State Visit in 2022. I live in the Trastevere neighbourhood which is the most authentic of all full of romance and history…. the real soul of Rome! With over thousand of years of history, you never run out of things to see in what once used to be the "caput mundi" or 'capital of the world'. Walking tours, car tours, food tours, day trips to Pompei, the Amalfi coast, wine tasting day trips to Tuscany and truffle hunting in Umbria to name a few are all the many different activities that I regularly plan. So whether you are a small group, family, or a larger party and whether it will be your first time or you will be back for more, I offer bespoke private tours to your interests, knowledge, and energy level to create the best tour for you. I can provide transfers from the airport, the port of Civitavecchia as well as location transfers with a professional licensed driver by a/c Mercedes car or Van. (upon request) so feel free to contact me to enquire. I guarantee you will have an unforgettable experience and lifelong memories to bring back home with you. If you think I could be the right guide for you don't hesitate to contact me for any enquiery! Buona giornata, Mathilda Fully Licensed National Tour Guide Fully Licensed Vatican Tour Guide BA with honours - Cambridge I am not a driver. I can arrange private car tours in collaboration with licensed english speaking private drivers with luxury vans for up to 7 people.

Our Rome tour was unforgettable, thanks to our amazing guide, Mathilda. From the start, her passion for the city's history and culture shone through. Her deep knowledge and engaging storytelling brought each site, like the Colosseum, Vatican City, St. Paul's Basilica, and the Roman Forum, to life in ways we couldn't have imagined on our own. Mathilda tailored the experience to our interests, making each stop feel personal. She shared fascinating insights into art, architecture, and history, and her enthusiasm was contagious. Even with the crowds, she made each site feel intimate, offering insider tips and answering our questions with ease. Thanks to her, our Rome visit was a truly enriching experience!

Mathilda was the perfect guide to see the sights in Rome. Her knowledge of the area was very impressive and she adjusted our tour based on what we wanted to see. She also took us to have the best pizza for lunch that we will never forget. Friendly, warm, overall a great experience with a fantastic guide! When we return to Rome we will be working with her again!

My son and I spent a delightful day touring Rome with Mathilda back in August. She is extremely knowledgable about Rome and its history. I strongly recommend spending a day wandering through Rome with Mathilda as your guide.
