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.

Borghese Gallery Tour, everlasting works by Caravaggio, Raphael and Canova
Overview of your Rome tour
Set in the green hearth of Rome, Villa Borghese, this museum includes breathtaking paintings and sculptures collected by the Cardinal Scipione Borghese in the early 1600s. It includes 6 Caravaggio's, Raphael's, Bernini's and Titian's masterpieces. Anyone can visit a museum alone but of course with a guide is always better, in the Borghese Gallery even more so as you have a limited amount of time inside. With me you can make the best of your time there, make sure that you will not miss any of the highlights plus learn about the history and the stories behind the paintings. FROM MID MARCH2024 TO JULY 2024 or more the top floor of the gallery will be in renovation, whichmeans that many pieces will not be available. Contact me for more infos.
