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.

We will get on a private wooden water taxi upon arrival and be driven through the Grand Canal and over to the island of Murano for a glass presentation of the historical pieces. Afterwards, we visit Piazza San Marco where I will guide you through the very heart of Venice, as your knowledgeable guide I will point out the city's landmarks, including the Doge's Palace, St. Mark's Basilica, the Campanile and the many arcade buildings around the square. St. Mark's Basilica - Venice's basilica is a testament to Byzantium's influence on Venice. Included features are gold mosaic arches rising above the carved, Romanesque portal and the rooftop is bedecked with five domes, reminiscent of St. Sophia in today's Istanbul. The basilica's interior features marble floors and walls that blend in exquisite, carpet-like patterns. Gilded mosaic murals, like icons, adorn the walls. Then ride the train back to Rome together.
Venice was such as great place to visit, especially if you're traveling with Caron! She arranged VIP transportation from first class train tickets to a private water taxi and then a wonderful meal at a gorgeous waterfront hotel. We originally didn't plan to go to Murano, but one of our family members wanted to go and Caron was able to arrange that in a matter of minutes. We loved our Venice tour and highly recommend Caron!
Wow! I absolutely loved this tour. Caron really knows how to show the beauty of Venice. This tour surpassed my expectations on so many levels, we all enjoyed it. We had 3 kids and 2 seniors in our group and Caron was very understanding to their needs. The tour was very comfortable and didn't have that very fast pace feel that you get on many other tours. We were able to see and do everything that we wanted and Caron always made sure that no one was left behind. Thank you again Caron for an amazing tour!
Caron is more like a friend than a guide! She was always cheerful and ensuring we were comfortable, our tours were relaxing, and our teenagers were happy. She is very knowledgeable. The sites were spectacular and the history amazing. She is very professional, has years of experience, and great contacts so we enjoyed the best experiences and avoided wasting time waiting in lines. Caron also joined us for a wonderful lunch and introduced us to fabulous Italian dishes and wines. Our tours were unforgettable!
Caron was great with every detail !! We were traveling with my parents and kids, 3 generations together and she took care of all of us, making our day in Venice extra special. Thanks again for an awesome tour, even though we had limited time.
Even though this was a long day due to the 3.5 hour train to and from Venice Caron made our last day in Italy a memorable one! After 3 days of tours with her, she is so personable and caring I feel like I've known her for months not days. I am looking forward to coming back to Italy just to have her as my tour guide again!
Caron treated my wife and I like life long friends when we met off the ship. We highly recommend her. Our tour of Venice was enhanced by great weather and Caron's ability to use our time wisely. The visit to Murano glass factory was a highlight!
