Ciao everyone, My name is Eleonora, nice to meet you (virtually for now)! I was born just outside Florence, and I have always been fascinated by its marvelous piazzas and its great artists, therefore I decided to study Art History at the University of Florence. I spent a few years immersed in the history of the city, but I also studied the rest of Italy. I travelled all over my country to discover its infinite treasures: from the great inventions of the ancient Romans, to the traces left by the so called barbarians, from the flourishing of medieval towns with their beautiful Cathedrals and town halls, to the birth of the Renaissance followed by the golden age of the Papacy. I have put together the stories of Italy's cities and towns, the lives of the artists and the history of the country, and finally I have weaved the big picture using all these smaller pictures. I have published essays about art and history, but now I do what I like the most: share my knowledge about the beauties of my country with travellers to help them understand what they are seeing. I have been working as a tour guide since 2010 in the two cities that I consider home: Florence and Rome. I have created tours that include some of the "must-sees", but there is always so much more to discover. I would be happy to customize an itinerary for you, according to your needs and desires. My tours are fun, engaging, informative and interactive. You will learn a lot of information and listen to great stories, but all in an easy-going, smiley way! The basic price is the same whether it is for 1 person or 10 people, however for those tours that include a food tasting or entrance tickets, the total price will increase according to the number of people. I am looking forward to walking with you through the streets of Rome to make the City and its art come to life. Ciao for now I am a Licensed Local Tour Guide. I have a Master's degree Cum Laude in Art History from the University of Florence. I also work as a Tour director for various agencies I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver

Overview of your Rome tour
What makes this tour truly unforgettable is that the Vatican Museums are a treasure trove of both Christian and Pagan masterpieces. You’ll explore the astonishing galleries of ancient statues, the fascinating Gallery of Maps, the Gallery of Tapestries, and the iconic Raphael Rooms, each filled with stories and artistry that span centuries. We’ll then enter the Sistine Chapel, a place where cardinals have gathered for papal conclaves for generations, and where two of the world’s most breathtaking masterpieces await: Michelangelo’s ceiling frescoes and The Last Judgment. The journey concludes with a visit to St. Peter’s Basilica, the largest church in the world. Marvel at its sheer scale, the stunning mosaics, Michelangelo’s Pietà, and Bernini’s bronze Baldachin, experiencing the grandeur of Vatican art and architecture in all its glory.
