Who am I? For sure a passionate licensed tour guide and leader, but also a foodie, a teacher (humanities and history of art), a photographer and a restless traveller! That's why I love my job so much: I'm in love with Rome and Italy and I feel blessed to have the chance to show the best my country has to offer to my guests, that is people from all around the world! It's like travelling without moving from the The Eternal City! It's not all about art and history that is of course important, but also our culture, customs and traditions, cuisine and much more! I'm looking forward to welcome you to Rome and introduce you to the city treasures: a mix of highlights and hidden gems, but also give you tons of tips about the best restaurants, bars, deli and local shops, night life, Italian authentic recipes and last but not least the best photo spots! It's really hard to describe myself in a few words. I am above all curious: of people, cultures, music, arts, architecture, photography, politics, design, cinema, environmental and social problems, wine and spirits, cuisine, politics. . . Everything! Do you think all this is too much? Maybe, but that's me! I was born in Vinci, in the heart of Tuscany, nearby Florence. . . do you know Leonardo's place? Unfortunately he's much bigger and famous than me! I have an old dusty degree in History of Art and Cinema and I have been living in Rome for almost 17 years! I'm here lead you to discover the "Italian way". I come from Florence-Tuscany and I deeply know my whole country! Working with happy tourists since 2007! I do love customising my tours according to my guests needs and requests, so. . . feel free to ask! Not only: I'm happy to satisfy all your curiosity! Ask me everything you can think of, from cultural questions to those more silly! From night life to the best/cheapest/more expensive/alternative places to eat/drink, night life places, venues or to Italian Language tips or the most famous proverbs. Moreover, I am also a photographer with a deep interest in street and portraits and an event organiser (proposals, wedding, private events, concerts and international film fest). I am also a great cook (people say) and food lover, thus I can teach you! Finally, I'm a restless traveller. Travel and talk to people in my opinion are fundamental to grow as a human being. That's why I'm always happy to meet all my guests! I'm super social and easy going and I've always loved to make new friends and be helpful to people either with simple info or helping them in various ways. I think I'm also pretty empathetic. Join me on a tour or tell me your needs and I'll be happy to organise the perfect experience for you. In ROME or ITALY, especially Tuscany where I come from! THANKS * Licensed Italian Tour Guide * Licensed Vatican Museums Tour Guide * Official Italian Tour Leader * Official Spanish Tour guide and Leader * Authorized Pass for Civitavecchia Harbour (Rome's port for cruise boats) I am not a driver but I will be more than happy to arrange for a private car/van/golf cart with driver for you.

The cost of the SKIP THE LINE Vatican museums tickets (including the Sistine chapel by Michelangelo) + Saint Peter Basilica ones is not included: it depends from the tickets availability when you book the tour. I will take care of buying them for you.
Sara was a joy! We had an excellent time learning about the history of the Vatican and stories behind the art in the museums. Sara has a wealth of knowledge and a deep understanding and reverence for each area of the Vatican and we appreciated her slides and visuals. She was also very patient with our family and took extra time to give us tips and recommendations. We would love to spend time with her again someday.
Sara was knowledgeable and very pleasant. She showed up on time (actually early) and walked us through what would have been a confusing maze.
Sara was the best guide ever. Her depth of knowledge was incredible. She helped us navigate the vastness of the Vatican with ease. Most of all, she is a caring and kind person. If you have the opportunity, book a tour with Sara.
We loved the tour. Sara was great. Thanks again!
Sara is an excellent guide. Her knowledge of the Vatican is outstanding and even though it was a lot of information, she made sure that we enjoyed the tour and did not feel overwhelmed. She arranged the tour for us on very short notice and took care of all the logistical details. At the end of the tour, she even suggested a great Gelato place nearby.
Sara is an absolute delight and an incredible wealth of knowledge! We had been to Rome before but we learned so much more!
- Let's meet at the entrance of the Vatican Museums and thanks to our skip the line tickets, let's go to discover the Vatican City, the smallest country in the world, with a landmass of just 44 square kilometers (about 27 square miles). The Vatican City is an independent state surrounded by the amazing city of Rome, inside Italy. - We will discover together the highlights of the Vatican Museums: 16 museums in one! Don' be scared, I will show you the best pieces to make you appreciate and understand the collections. - After admiring the Pinecone Courtyard, we will walk in brethtaking galleries till discovering the wonders of the Sistine Chapel and Michelangelo's ceiling frescoes. - Only thanks to my guided tour my guests will be allowed to access Saint Peter Basilica from inside the Museums where you will appreciate the highlights of the biggest and most important Catholic church in the world (this option is possibile everyday till tours booked at 4 pm).

Walking. Of course there's no other way to visit the Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel and Saint Peter Basilica. Wheelchairs are welcome but the whole group will need to do a slightly different itinerary. And we will need to visit the basilica only exiting from the museums (not straight from the Sistine chapel) as there is a long staircase. Strollers are allowed but
Viale Vaticano, 100, Rome, Metropolitan City of Rome Capital, Italy
