I am an Expat from the United States, I have been blessed to live and guide through this beautiful country called Italy for the past 22 years. My first love and city mastered was the Eternal City of Rome, where I have lived and taught an English Master's program at UET. The University of European Tourism is located outside the Papal walls of Vatican City. I enjoyed teaching and being around the students very much, their youth is contagious. As I've traveled around the entire country, I've discovered the beauty in each region, as well as the wine and culinary wonders. My guiding experience is throughout Italy's Regions, as a National Driver Guide. My areas of expertise include the hillside medieval towns that are nestled in-between the Apennine Mountains. During my tours, I explain the history of Italy and make certain that you have the opportunity to experience all of the local monuments, as well as the iconic art and historical culture. My guiding is based on the TRUE ITALIAN EXPERIENCE. The Slow Food Movement, which they call the zero kilometer touring started in Italy because of how the food is prepared and my tours will take you to taste it all, fresh cheese, the award winning wines and truffle pasta. . . not to mention the limoncello in Sorrento after a day in Pompei. I have been blessed with a gift when it comes to guiding children and the disabled throughout this country. Nothing is a challenge for me and I enjoy seeing each of these places with people who thought they would never get there, life is meant to be lived! I look forward to hearing from you and booking our special excursions together.

Overview of your Rome tour

The Vatican is on the top of the list of sights to see for every traveler coming to Rome and visiting the World's smallest country is supposed to be an exciting and fun event. But in a place filled with so many world-famous treasures and so little time to see them all, your day could potentially turn in to a stressful nightmare. Let me take care of you so that you can just sit back, relax and enjoy the beauty; you are on holidays after all! Beat the crowd by getting into the Vatican before it opens to the public. Discover masterpieces of the Vatican collections with an expert guide bringing the paintings and statues to life. As only a guide can do, you will then take a special route, which allows you to enter St. Peter's Basilicas straight from the museums. Inside the Basilica, the guide will take you to see Michelangelo's Pietà and dome as well as other major works by the baroque artist Bernini. Bernini designed the majestic colonnade of St. Peter's Square.
