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.

We had an amazing experience and could not recommend Sara more highly. She was incredibly knowledgeable about Rome’s history and all of the major sites, including the Colosseum and Roman Forum, and she created the perfect introduction to the city. What really set her apart were her personal recommendations. She pointed us to some fantastic wine bars, markets and restaurants that we never would have found on our own and provided great suggestions for the rest of our stay in Rome. Her passion, expertise, and local insight made our trip so much better. Thank you for an unforgettable experience! A must if visiting Rome for the first or tenth time.

Sara is the absolute best! She was very accommodating to our delayed flight arrival and adjusted our tour to squeeze in as much as possible with the time we had left. She is very knowledgeable and explained all the sites we visited in an engaging and interesting way. I cannot express enough how much we enjoyed our tour with Sara. She is a treasure!!

My sister and I took the Rome Welcome tour with Sara T, snd we’re so happy we did! Sara was so very knowledgeable about all things Rome and shared it with us in a wonderful way. She was professional and really cared that we saw the big picture of the sites we visited and how they all contributed in making the Rome of today. We appreciated her checking in with us frequently to see how we were doing and asking if we wanted to take a break. We learned so much from her and look forward to another tour with her when we return! Thank you, Sara T

Your Rome tour itinerary

🌟 What to Expect: - Walk in the footsteps of emperors at the Roman Forum and Colosseum (outside or inside you choose) - Toss a coin into the Trevi Fountain and make a wish - Stroll through charming piazzas and hidden alleyways full of stories - Admire the Pantheon, a 2,000-year-old architectural marvel Get insider tips on where to eat, what to see, and how to make the most of your Roman holiday This is more than a tour—it’s your first taste of Rome, with history, culture, and a touch of La Dolce Vita. I suggest to start from the Spanish Steps or at the Colosseum but we can agree for a different itinerary that better suits your needs, even adding a private van or a golf cart. Contact me to define the best itinerary that suits your needs and time! No dress code is required, just wear some comfy shoes and your will to discover the city and that's it!

Transport details
Type: Walking

The tour is designed to be done on foot. Nevertheless I can provide a less tiring option with a private van (much more comfortable) or golf cart (not advised for those who have backaches because Rome is completely covered by cobblestones that are quite annoying).

What's included
Other: Private licensed Italian and Vatican tour guide at your disposal for 5 hours.

Meeting location

Piazza di Spagna, Roma, Lazio, 00187, Italy

If required I will book a private van/car for you with a driver to pick you up in Civitavecchia and then, I will meet you in the city center in the location that makes for sense.

  • You can request a specific meeting location (for example, your hotel) during the checkout.
