Date: Oct 1/22

Having wandered through the Colosseum & the Roman forum over a dozen times in the last 50 years, I was finally gifted with some understanding of exactly what all those fallen columns and fragments of stones and brick walls actually represented 2000 years ago! Rosalba shared her vast knowledge & experience with us as we strolled back in time on a perfect afternoon in Roma! We felt we were having a lively conversation and not just a class lecture. The experience was perfect in every way. Grazie, Rosie!

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Marin, GRAZIE for your nice review! Your comment makes me very happy and most of all I am glad the tour was as you expected! I am in Rome, please do contact me if you come back, it'd be lovely to see you guys again! Rosy

Rosalba was a great and valuable guide for us at the Vatican. She has a graceful balance of instruction and allowing you to just enjoy the tour. She is knowledgeable in her specialist areas but also in related topics. She tailored the tour based on our discussions and allowed the tour to be an enjoyable conversation. Rosalba was punctual and clearly explained the tour's schedule. We consider ourselves lucky to have had Rosalba as our guide and strongly recommend her.

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Grazie mille Matthew, this sounds like a great feedback and I truly appreciate spending your time for that. It was lovely to meet you and I am happy you enjoyed our time in Rome as much as I did!

Date: Mar 6/20

We were so pleased with our tour of the Vatican we rebooked Rosie for a tour of Villa Borghese. We're so glad we did! It was a huge value because Rosie provided us with rich background of the life and times for the artists that it gave new meaning to building, the sculptures and the paintings. Visiting the Villa on our own would not have been the same. We can't say enough good things about Rosie. She is personable, professional and tailored the tour to us. We'll definitely do a tour with Rosie again!

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Grazie grazie grazie!!! It's always a pleasure to share my passion for Rome to such interested guest like you! I have great memories of our tours together :) Lots of love I hope to see you soon!!! Your Rosie

Rosalba (Rosie) is without a doubt one of the BEST guides we've ever had. Friendly and professional and extremely knowledgeable about every aspect of the Vatican, our tour was so enjoyable. She adjusted the pace for my 85 year old mother-in-law who isn't able to walk for long periods. Rosie used our slower pace to give us lots of additional information. In spite of a slower pace we were still able to see everything. Rosie is so excellent we booked her again for a personalized tour of Villa Borghese.

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Dear Ross, Mark and Frances, GRAZIE MILLE from the bottom of my heart for your super review! You are wonderful people and it was an honour for me to guide you inside the Vatican Museums. We had a great time together and I really hope to welcome you again in the Eternal City! Stay safe Your new roman friend Rosalba

Rosalba was a wonderful guide for our family (including our two children ages 19, 17) to tour the Vatican museums and other Rome highlights (Pantheon, Trevi, Victor Emmanuel monument). She was extremely knowledgeable, engaging, and humorous and pointed out connections between various artists and history that we would certainly have missed. With Rosalba, we made the most of our time and also had a wonderful lunch near the Vatican in a place we would have missed. Thank you, Rosalba!

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Ciao Mattew, thanks for your wonderful feedback, touring with such an enthusiast, curious and funny family makes me really happy to do my work! It's a pleasure to share my knowledge of the Eternal City with someone as interested as you all, and I cannot wait to have you again for new adventures. Thanks again for your trust, I really hope to have the chance to visit you in Washington DC! A big hug to Kirsten, Thalia and Embrik

Rosalba was the perfect guide for our small group. She made sure we saw all the highlights in the time we allowed. Without her we would have taken much longer and missed important works of art. Her knowledge was outstanding and her ability to explain why these works were important kept our party totally engaged. I would highly recommend her for your personal guided tour.---Don from Skokie USA.

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: What a touching review :) It's me that I have to thank you, first of all for choosing me as your storyteller, and then also for making my day with you so special! I loved sharing with you my passion for my city, you were interested, curious and attentive, and that made it so easy for me! I hope to meet you again in the "urbs aeterna"!

Rosalba is a great guide who was able to share her extensive knowledge of Rome and Roman history with us. Really enjoyed both of our tours. Met us right at our hotel and provide transportation to and from the tour. But I especially appreciated the in-depth information that Rosalba shared with us during our tour of the Roman forum and the Colosseum. Highly recommended!

Rosalba (Rosie] was a wonderful, witty, and welcoming person who guided our tour of the Vatican and the Sistine Chapel (July 2019, family of 4). By the end of our time together, she felt like a long time family friend. Rosie is exceptionally gifted in Italian history and art, as well as local folklore, stories, and interesting tidbits of history that kept us all enthralled and entertained. The pace of the tour was perfect! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!
