It was our first time in Rome and Elisa was amazing! She was very informative, kept to the schedule and super relatable. It was like taking a tour with your best friends sister, like we had known her for a long time! Plus the amount of information she had was so vast. We would love to have her as a guide again!

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thank you so much Julie, I was also glad to meet you and tour with you. The last-minute change turned out to be a beautiful experience! I would love to see you again, please do not hesitate to contact me if you come back to Rome! Ciao, Elisa

We found Elisa to be knowledgeable, energetic with an unhidden enthusiasm for the history of Rome and the Vatican. We were enchanted as she led us on a journey around the most special places including exclusive access to areas that we had all to ourselves while we absorbed the culture of ancient and modern Rome.

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Ciao Jonathan! Thanks so much for the time spent leaving me a review, and thanks again for being such a great group to tour with! You can always contact me if you happen to come back to Rome. A presto e grazie! Elisa

My daughter and I were very pleased with Elisa. She was extremely knowledgeable and her enthusiasm was inspiring. Elisa was exited and smiling through the entire tour as she described the exhibits, art, and history in great detail. Her passion was very refreshing.

TBL- you need to hire 100 Elisas!!! We had a sunset tour on the day we arrived, we thought maybe 3 hrs might be too much. Elisa was amazing and left us wanting more, she helped us target specific areas and the best time to visit. This is our 9th experience with TBL and we've never been disappointed. thank you so much.

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Dear Leticia, Thanks so much for your review and lovely words! I really enjoyed my time as well with you all! If you come back to Rome, please do not hesitate to contact me back :) I wish you all the best and to see you soon! Elisa

Elisa- the hidden jewel of ROME! If you want the best tour guide that is always smiling, animated, and her knowledge this is the person for you. My wife and I had her for two different tours and she was the best tour guide We have ever had. She is worth every penny she gets and then some. Thanks Elisa putting the smile on my wife's face.

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Hi Michael, you cannot imagine how nice is for me to receive your feedback. I am so happy to know I have contributed to a great time in Rome. Things went well not only because of me, but you were very flexible and interested in my stories as well. We both created a great vibe :) So I thank you as well for choosing me and for being lovely. See you soon in Rome... I hope :) Ciao Eli

Elisa took us to the vatican and the gems of the vatican. She was wonderful. Great personality always smiling and she made the tour interesting. She did not worry about the time had us picked up at our hotel. The group tours do not come close to the experience that we received from Elisa. It is worth the extra price to have a personal tour with someone who knows as much as Elisa.

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thank you Michael! Your words are very much appreciated :) It is wonderful to tour with you as well as you are all interested in my storytelling and a really pleasant group to be with. Grazie!

Elisa was a wonderful tour guide. We were traveling with our 7 year old twins and she did an amazing job making the tour of the Vatican Museums interesting for them as well as for my wife and I. She was extremely knowledgeable about everything we saw and even made little games for the kids along the way. If you're looking for a tour in Rome I highly recommend you book with Elisa, she is fantastic!

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Dear Brent, So lovely to read your feedbck. I am extremely happy to know you enjoyed the tour and your kids were well engaged. You can always contact me if you happen to come back in Rome. All the best, Elisa

The Vatican Museums are so vast that each tour guide must narrow focus on one or two areas. Elisa focused her tour on the Sistine Chapel and Roman sculpture. We met Elisa at the museum after being picked up at our hotel by a driver. We then found a "quiet" spot to sit while she instructed us on what we would be seeing in the Sistine Chapel using her iPad. Her information proved invaluable when we were in the Chapel where silence is observed. Roman sculpture rounded out the tour. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

We took the Hidden Gems of the Vatican with Elisa D. On 13 November 2021. And it was an amazing tour! But, Elisa was the hidden gem! She gave us an excellent 15-20 minute prep session on the Sistine Chapel (with pictures) since you not allowed to talk while in the chapel. We saw stunning artwork; mosaics, sculptures and tapestries (they looked three dimensional!) in both the museums and the Basilica. Elisa was the highlight of the tour with her extensive knowledge and enthusiasm. Take this tour!
