We loved our tour of Pompeii with Roberta. She's very knowledgeable and loved sharing that with us. Afterward we went for a wonderful lunch at a local Vesuvius winery which was beautiful. We finalized our tour with a drive around the Amalfi coast and stopped along scenic viewpoints for lovely photos. We couldn't have asked for a more friendly and professional guide. Wish we had also booked her for our tour of Capri!

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thank you Shanti! It was such a pleasure meeting all of you and I’m excited about your return to Italy! Please keep in touch and until we meet again - keep traveling : ) Grazie

Roberta was fantastic! She worked with me to set up a customized plan for our family of four's visit to Rome, including some activities that are not specifically mentioned on her profile. On our tours, she was very knowledgeable and also used some pictures on her iPad to further explain what she was talking about. I would highly recommend her as a guide when you're in Rome!

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: It was my absolute pleasure Jamie and I look forward to your return. ❤️

Roberta proved to be a most gracious, conversant and considerate tour guide for our group of 6. We enjoyed the wealth of information she shared with us about all the attractions in Rome, including her humorous and candid comments. Very flexible in accommodating changes to our itinerary as the day progressed. It was like traveling with another family member! And she looked out for our welfare as though we were her family members!! Thank you so much, Roberta!

My wife and I along with our two teenagers (15 and 17) took private tour of the Colosseum with Roberta. She was a fantastic guide with lots of interesting facts and overall context setting that went far beyond just the tour. She customized the whole experience for us - answering all questions large and small. The communication was great - we emailed ahead of the tour to coordinate and got a text message on status 10 minutes prior to the start. The whole experience was high end from start to finish.

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Grazie Kevin! It was my absolute pleasure to meet and tour with your lovely family. Please come back soon!!!

Great tour! Although we were unable to go inside Coliseum due to coronavirus, Roberta made up for it by taking us to many other interesting places. There were no lines anywhere, and very few people to get in the way of the perfect picture. She also did well to keep the tour moving so it wasnt boring.

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thank you kindly Trent for following through on your tour in these uncertain times. I very much enjoyed taking you gentleman to see as much of the Eternal city as possible. Please do visit again soon! Grazie, Roberta

We were so lucky to have Roberta as our guide for the Colosseum and Forum. She is very knowledgeable, passionate of her hometown. Our only regret was we did not have more time to spend with her. We were lucky in that our group (4) was her only booking for that day. When we finished we invited her to lunch which she gratefully accepted and that was even better. Over all she is a wonderful person besides being great guide.

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Grazie Gary!!! It was such a pleasure meeting all of you and I’m looking forward to your return next year to show you much more of my country. Wishing you good healthy and safety. Salute from your friend in Rome.

Roberta was a wonderful guide and provided my husband and I a fantastic day in Venice and Moreno. We saw all the sights we hoped for and were able to revise our itinerary due to the flooding in Venice so that we could still see the sights of Venice later in the day. I would highly recommend her for any tour to Italy!

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thank you Kristine, it was a magical day and I’m so pleased that you enjoyed seeing as much of Venice as we could. Wishing you and your family health and happiness in 2020. I look forward to your return to see much more of Italy. Grazie

In October 2020 our family was lucky enough to spend time in Rome and visit many of the historical sites. We appreciated how fortunate we were to be able to do this then, but now with the Covid-19 pandemic, we feel even more fortunate that we were able to do so given the current state of travel. During our visit we took several tours with Roberta who is a very experienced guide and explained the history of the various sites in a way that made it interesting for our young children.

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thank you kindly for the opportunity to share the amazing historical points of my Eternal city. I look forward to showing you even more in future.

Date: Aug 29/19

Very smooth tour and excellent guide and driver. We had to get up early and ready for the long day, but it ended up being worth it as we beat most of the crowds and traffic. The two towns are absolutely adorable and worth a visit. The Duomo in Orvieto was a pleasant surprise as was Civita for its quiet old charm. But be warned that it is a strenuous hike up to Civita. :)

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Grazie millie David! So pleased that you enjoyed your tour and looking forward to your return to my beautiful country.
