Peter
Rome
5.0(2)I am a highly educated, well traveled dual Italian-American citizen whom has spent the lion’s share of my adulthood in Roma. There is no place like Rome: the beauty, the history, the food and the weather. There is something to experience around every corner and under your feet. I also know (and travel to) Tuscany, Florence, Pompeii, Sorrento, Positano, The Amalfi Coast, Cinque Terre, Bologna and Venice.
Edoardo
Amalfi, Sorrento +11
Born and raised in Italy's Marche region, I have explored the country from north to south during travels and study periods away from home. I have lived part of my life in amazing cities such as Venice and Bologna, and have visited Rome a lot since I have family and friends there. I am an experienced trip planner for destinations all over Italy, from the breezy Cinqueterre in Liguria down to the sun kissed Amalfi coast. If you want someone to help you with all-encompassing guidance and make the best out of your trip to Italy, I will be most happy to help you!
Polina
Rome, Tivoli
I’m a student currently living in Rome, where I’m pursuing a Master’s degree in Tourism and Italian Cultural Heritage. Here, I’m gaining valuable insight into the connection between tourism and cultural life. I’ve always been a passionate traveler, and I continue exploring even while living in Rome — every walk brings a new experience and reveals another layer of Roman life. I like to experience places not just as a tourist, but in a more personal and meaningful way, which is one of the reasons I chose to study and live in Rome. I’m happy to share my experience of both university life and everyday Roman life — not an idealized version, but one that is real, emotional, and still beautifully romantic.
Francesca
Bologna, Ravenna +6
👋 Hi, nice to meet you! My name is Francesca, I'm 28 years old and I live in a small town in the province of Ravenna. I speak English and French. 🎨 I'm an art expert because of my two degrees in Cultural Heritage and Visual Arts at the University of Bologna, where I've lived during my studies. This is the main city I chose to speak about in this platform because I've lived it with a student life's eyes (so pubs, restaurants, places to have fun, listen to some music, dance...) but also because I love art through that part of me too (museums, art galleries, history, traditions, culture...). ✈️ After University I've decided to take a break and I've moved to Canada where I've lived for more than one year, then I came back to become a Travel Designer thanks to a course in Milan. 🧳 This year I've also got the certification to be a Tour Leader with the goal to go with families, groups of friends or couples during their travels to show them more than they expect!
Massimo
Rome
5.0(2)Hi, I'm Massimo, and for ten years I've been hosting tourists from around the world to discover Rome, its treasures, colors, and flavors. After studying Architecture and Art History, and after many years as an Art Director in Advertising, I decided to dedicate myself to tourism, driven by the desire to share my city with the countless tourists who visit it every day. My specialty is uncovering and highlighting Rome's hidden corners and taking you on off-the-beaten-path itineraries.
Emanuele
Milan, Como +10
Hi! I’m Emanuele, a passionate traveler and sports enthusiast with a love for discovering cities through their hidden corners and authentic experiences. While I’ve explored many places around the world, my heart is in Milan, a city I know inside out. I enjoy everything from iconic landmarks to quiet streets off the beaten path, and I love sharing those special spots that only a local can show. Whether it’s culture, food, history, or hidden gems, my goal is to create personalized experiences that make you feel truly connected to the city. I believe travel is about curiosity, discovery, and living a place fully (and I’d love to be your guide to experience Italy in a mindful, authentic way).
Stefania
Syracuse, Taormina +4
Hi! I’m Stefania—but you can call me Ste 🌻 I’m a travel advisor born and raised in Noto, Sicily 🇮🇹 which basically means I grew up surrounded by baroque beauty, incredible food, and a very strong sense of what’s actually worth your time (and what’s not). I know the places that don’t show up on Google, the beaches you almost want to gatekeep, and the kind of local spots where you’ll still be thinking about the food months later. I also lived in Perugia for three years, which gave me a whole new perspective on Italy beyond the South. Add to that my travels, especially across the north of Spain and many Italian cities and you get someone who understands both sides: the traveller’s expectations and the local reality. So no, I won’t send you to the most “famous” place… I’ll send you to the right one!
Elena
Rome, Bari +8
Hi there! I'm Elena, and I've been calling Rome my home for nearly two years. While I'm an avid traveler who loves exploring new horizons, my favorite journey is the one I take every day through the winding streets of the Eternal City. Living here is a constant discovery. Even after two years, I never stop exploring Rome from different perspectives -blending its ancient history with its vibrant, modern soul. I know how overwhelming Rome can be for travelers, with so many 'tourist traps around every corner. I'm excited to share my personal database of cool finds with you-from hidden architectural gems and quiet courtyards to the best local events and spots that usually stay off the typical tourist radar. Whether you're looking for the perfect view, a unique cultural experience, or tips on how to navigate the city like a local, I've got you covered. Rome wasn't built in a day, and it certainly can't be seen in one-but with the right local insights, you can truly feel its magic. Let's explore the real Rome together!
manuela
Rome
I was born and raised in Rome, in love with my city, and I'd love to share my passion with visitors eager to explore the Eternal City. So, just like me, you'll appreciate Rome as an open-air museum, for its historical heritage but also for its truly inspiring atmosphere. My certification badge, which authorizes me to guide you inside any historical monument, I can help you plan your perfect stay in Rome by recommending the best neighborhoods to lodge in, tailored to your style, budget, and travel goals. I can advise you the authentic places to eat, what to taste like a local, and which museums and attractions are truly worth your time, including how to book tickets easily. I also help you choose the best times to visit each venue so you can avoid crowds and enjoy the city at its best. From Rome you can move to Florence, Naples, for day trips easy to plan by high speed trains. I've led group tours for major tour operators, and visitors from all over the world have always praised my passion and communication skills.

Francesca
Rome, Naples
My name is Francesca, and I’m an Art Historian and photographer based in Rome, specializing in Roman archaeology, as well as Renaissance and Baroque art. With Rome as my home and main source of inspiration, I design experiences that reveal the country through its art, history, culture, and everyday life, shaping each itinerary around my clients’ interests, pace, and travel style. My approach is rooted in thoughtful exploration: I craft journeys that immerse travelers in local traditions and hidden places, connecting them with experiences shaped by the people who live there. As a passionate lover of nature-focused travel, I also curate recommendations for natural parks, secluded beaches, and immersive hiking trails, offering a deeper connection to Italy’s landscapes beyond its cities. Italy offers an extraordinary cultural and culinary heritage, and stepping off the beaten path opens the door to rare and meaningful encounters—moments untouched by mass tourism and rich in character. I’m here to help you experience Italy in a more genuine, memorable, and personal way.
Eleonora
Palermo, Syracuse +10
Hello, I’m Eleonora. I was born in Tuscany, just outside Florence, where growing up surrounded by history, shaped my curiosity and love for art. I studied Art History at the University of Florence, specializing in the Renaissance. I began guiding students early on, and it was there that I developed a passion for storytelling — because there is nothing more challenging than engaging teenagers and young adults. I later expanded my focus to the broader history of Italy, leading groups throughout the country, from Venice to Sicily. Eventually, I moved to Rome, where I now work as an expert tour guide, leading visits to the city’s most iconic sites, including the Vatican and the Colosseum, as well as off the beaten path, to some of its hidden gems. In my free time I love to drive around Italy to its myriad hilltop medieval towns, where each one is a new discovery, both architectural and natural and also, of course, culinary! Over the years, many travelers have asked me for advice and suggestions to help plan the rest of their itineraries. That is why I’m happy to connect with you even before your trip begins, sharing my insights and helping you make the most of your time in Italy.
Eleonora
Florence, Pisa +10
I’m Eleonora and I’m 26. I live in Rome, but as soon as I can I’ll escape and travel somewhere else. My purpose is to travel all around the world and make a step in every continent.
Valentina
Rieti, Viterbo +1
Experience Designer & Luxury Travel Consultant Born in Rome to an Italian father and a Polish mother, I grew up speaking six languages and moving between worlds — a foundation that shaped my understanding of culture, nuance, and the art of truly belonging somewhere. My career began in human rights, taking me from Portugal to Strasbourg and six formative years in England. But eventually, I was drawn back to Italy — not to the city, but to something quieter and more rare: Sabina, a breathtaking stretch of the Roman countryside just an hour from Rome, where medieval villages rise above olive groves and life moves at the rhythm of the seasons. I settled in Toffia, and it became the lens through which I design travel.

Eleonora
Rome, Venice +1
Hello everyone, I’m Eleonora — a former globetrotter, licensed tour guide, and travel designer based in Rome. Traveling has always been my way of understanding the world, and over time I’ve turned this passion into my work: helping others experience places in a deeper, more meaningful way. Rome is a city I know and love, but I also know how overwhelming it can feel. Too often, travelers try to see everything in a rush, focusing only on the major highlights, and missing the true soul of cities they visit. This is why I’m here. I want to help you create a journey that feels like yours — one where you can explore the must-see highlights, but also slow down, breathe, and truly connect with what surrounds you. Whether it’s through hidden corners, local traditions, stories passed down through generations, or simply a glass of wine in the right place at the right time, I will design experiences that reflect your interests and your pace. My wish is for you to leave Italy not only with beautiful memories, but with a real sense of connection to its culture, its people, and its way of life. With me you, will be stress free!
Mariasole
Rome, Brindisi
Hello everyone! I'm Sole, and I'm a student in Rome. I come from Brindisi, a beautiful city in Salento, South of Italy. I've studied languages and I'm currently studying international cooperation, so you can see I'm really passionate about culture, travels and networking! I've traveled a lot in Europe: I've been to Dublin as an exchange student, to Berlin, Paris, London, Krakow, Madrid, Valencia... And every time I wished I had a local with me who could provide suggestions not to fall in the classic touristy traps. I really hope I could help you someday, but in the meanwhile, enjoy!
