First impressions, memorable impressions, are generally irrecoverable; they often leave one the wiser, but they rarely return in the same form. Henry James, Italian Hours
Rome the Eternal City, a city of conflicting experiences: huge, chaotic, noisy, sometimes dirty but beautiful, breathtaking on an early Sunday morning when the Romans are still asleep and no traffic around. I believe you can only love it or hate it. Living here or simply visiting this city can really be an adventure sometimes!
Hundreds of churches, fountains, historical buildings, museums and archaeological sites : it’ll be my pleasure to show you the best of it !
My tours are normally on foot, which is probably the best way to explore Rome. But if you only have a very short time or walking is not for you it would be helpful to hire some private transportation, taxis or to use public transport.
I offer customized tours: you tell me what you want to see and I’ll offer my advice. A relaxing stroll through the city, an in-depth visit of the Roman antiquities, a visit to major museums, a gastronomic experience to taste the local flavours.

My grandmother and I took a tour of the Vatican with Alessandra during our two week trip of Rome. Piece of advice, BOOK ALESSANDRA! She was a joy to have guide us through what can be an overwhelming attraction of Rome. We learned SO much and had a great time as Alessandra told us stories and the history of the Vatican. Our three hour tour felt informational and I’m sure we wouldn’t of felt as comfortable without her as our guide! It was also fantastic having a smaller group to tour with as our experience was intimate and we felt cared for. Thank you Alessandra!
Best,
Tasia and Denise from the USA
We totally agree. Our neighbors used Alessandra on their Vatican trip in July 2017. It was our great fortune to engage her for three of the most informative and fun hours of our life. She is is a WIKI of information!
