I was born and raised in Rome, then I traveled the world because of my father's job. I came back to Rome where I graduated from college in History and Philosophy with a minor ( I would rather say: a true passion!) for art history and archeology. I lived in New York for several years and then I came back to Rome where I am blessed to "play tourist in my own city" as a job.
I love my city, the Eternal City, which means " no matter who the ruler is" this city is eternal. I love to share the history of some of the most important and famous venues in town, but I also love to make my clients feel "insiders" when they explore Rome and Italy. Living abroad gave me the chance to see my country with different eyes and actually, I love being " a cultural bridge" for people who visit Rome.
I do a lot of tours, but I am also very flexible when it comes to matching my client's expectations. I love helping my clients to tailor their trip to Italy from the moment I have the privilege to receive their first email.
I will make sure to make your visit to Rome and Italy an unforgettable "album" of memories. I have a network of people helping me to do so. While you are in Rome, you would like to visit Pompei? We'll be there in no time with a day trip which will exceed your expectation. Have you always wanted to visit the gorgeous Capri? We will make it happen. I am also specialized in pilgrimages, such a the 7 Churches Pilgrimage and the Four Papal Basilicas of Rome. I can also arrange trips to Puglia to visit the Sanctuary of San Giovanny Rotondo where Padre Pio is and Monte Sant'Angelo
All you have to do is sharing with me your dreams about what seeing in Rome or from Rome in a day trip.

I am looking forward to hearing from you
See you soon. . . A presto

Our guide, Monica was fantastic. She was very knowledgeable, yet conveyed the information in a very interesting manner. It was interesting to learn about the place where she grew up.

Friendly and Informative with a good sense of humour. I really liked the way she introduced herself and asked where we were from before the tour started, this is the first time I have had a tour guide do this.

Thank you, Monica, for sharing your passion for the Borghese Museum with us. We so enjoyed spending the afternoon with you and learning so much about the history of Bernini, Caravaggio and so much more. You shared your wealth of knowledge with us in a way that had us engaged and interested in all you had to say. I think you are one of the best tour guides we had
