Monica is fabulous tour guide. She is so knowledgeable about Rome and the history of Italy. It was really amazing how many places she was able to take us to and how to get around the crowds. I feel like I have more understanding of Rome and the Catholic church. I really cannot say enough good things about how great our day and a half was with her. We really needed more time. We plan to come back and have Monica as our guide again.

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thank you Donna and Gunnar, it was pleasure. I will see you very soon.

We were delighted by our tour of the Coliseum with Monica. She was on time, made Roman history come to life for us and even went out of her way to help our son and his wife get a taxi to their next destination. We highly recommend her for your sightseeing while in Rome!

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thank you Danny and Martha. It was a pleasure. Hugs and Kisses

Date: Oct 18/22

I highly recommend Monica. My family of three used her for a one day tour in mid October and we were thoroughly impressed with her knowledge of the town and the level of service. Because she is so experienced and knows the best time to visit each spot, we were able to start the day early, get to see many places without lines. Even when there is a line, she knows the shortcuts to skip the line. We ended up seeing more places than the itinerary stated. Next time we visit Rome, we will use Monica again!

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Li, it was a pleasure to spend the day with you. I look forward to see you in the future. Hugs and kisses from Rome

Monica was highly recommended to us and didn't disappoint. Her historical knowledge of Rome was amazing and her ability to get us into major attractions avoiding the queues. Nothing was a problem for Monica and we had the most amazing lunch together. We visited the colosseum, Vatican City, Sistine Chapel, St Peter's Basilica, the Jewish Ghetto, Trevi Fountain and drove over the pyramid of Caius Cestius, Victor Emmanuel monument and parts of the original Roman city wall. This was achieved in under 8hrs!

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Chiquita, it was my pleasure. Thank you for you kind words and I look forward to seeing you next year.

Monica is a very good tour guide. She loves what she does and is good at it. We wanted an off the beaten tour and she provided us a very interesting and complete tour. We left feeling more of the real history of what life was like li I got in Rome. Monica also met up at our hotel and we had a light lunch in the oldest "village" in Rome. On our next visit, Monica will again be our tour guide.

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Cookie, it was a pleasure being with you and I look forward to seeing you in Rome in the near future.

I would give Monica 10 stars if it were possible! My wife and I were only in Rome for a short time and we're looking to get as much done in 1 day as we could. Luckily we had the best tour guide in the city! Monica was super informative and super efficient which made our day a breeze. We felt like we were with a friend who was showing us around their home town and we got the chance to see Rome through the eyes of a Roman. Can't wait to come back for another tour with Monica and see more of Rome!

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: It was a pleasure showing the Eternal City and to be honored to be part of your forever memories. I hope to see you soon in the near future. Hugs and kisses from Rome

Monica was a wonderful guide for our three generational family of seven. She was very knowledgeable, her English was perfect, making it easy for all of us to understand her descriptions of the sites. She was very attentive to the twelve year old, and had ways to help her deal with the heat-cool water on the neck, and a little break. We all enjoyed having Monica as our guide

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thank you Marjorie, it was a pleasure be the tour guide of your family. I hope to see you soon. Hugs and kisses from Rome

Monica made our return trip to Rome wonderfully memorable as she widened our understanding of Roman history via architecture --from Marcellus's Coliseum to Mussolini's Coliseum! Monica was prompt, professional, historically astute, and she adroitly seasoned our two days together with a wonderful medley of ruins, antiquities, and biographies of many ancient persons. We departed with a deeper appreciation and love of Rome! Kudos to our "Roman Cousin", Monica!

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: It was a real pleasure showing you the eternal city. I hope to see you soon. Hugs and kisses

Monica C. did an amazing job helping us to customize a virtual tour of Italy, which included 45 guests. We found her to be quite personable, intelligent, well organized and responsive. This included being available for Zoom meetings in the middle of her night to accommodate our schedule. As a seventh generation "local" - we believe we found the best quality Italian tour professional in Monica. We highly recommend her and would hire her again. Thank you, Monica C.

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Mary and Tracy, Thank your kind words. You made everything so easy. It was an honor for me to be part of your event. I hope to see you soon in Rome. Hugs and kisses

What a wonderful and educational virtual online tour we had with Monica! She had prepared a beautiful slide show and packed so much information into our hour together. Some of our group have visited the Colosseum, The Forum, etc. in real life but they still learned something new during this tour. We are grateful for these opportunities to see and learn--even while travel is limited. We will be booking more of this tour for family and business colleagues. Grazie mille, Monica!

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Grazie mille Julie, it was a pleasure spending an hour with you showing the history of the Colosseum. I look forward to seeing you in Rome. Hugs and kisses from Rome
