Hi, I am Tatyana, a licensed professional tour guide in Rome as well as throughout the Lazio region. For many years I have dedicated myself to sharing the history, the art and the spirit of the Eternal City with visitors from every corner of the world. My tours are carefully crafted to combine historical accuracy with storytelling, allowing you not only to see Rome but to truly understand it. I guide my guests through the city’s most celebrated sites—such as the Vatican Museums, St. Peter’s Basilica, the Colosseum & the Roman Forum— and across the charming districts of Trastevere and Campo de’ Fioriwhile, revealing hidden gems that most travellers never discover. I enjoy working with families, couples, small groups and passionate history lovers, and I adjust each tour to your pace, your level of knowledge and the specific experiences you’re seeking. Although I often guide Russian-speaking visitors, I am proud to welcome clients from all over the world. Meeting people of different cultures and helping them experience Rome is one of the things I love most about my profession. So whether you speak English, Russian, Ukranian or Italian, my goal is always the same: to create a warm, engaging, and memorable experience that leaves you feeling connected to this extraordinary city. Rome is a place of endless stories, and I would be delighted to be your guide as you explore them. If you’re looking for someone knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about bringing history to life, I invite you to join me on a tour you’ll never forget. If my calendar appears unavailable, please contact me anyway. I can organize private transportation by private car and driver. I provide pick-up and drop-off at the hotel or port via the driver. I’ll meet you at the meeting point. For easy communication on the day of the tour, I suggest downloading WhatsApp on your smartphone.
