You made our visit so special!

Reviewed June 22, 2017

Antonella gave us a lovely tour of the Vatican and Roman Forum over 2 days. There were some great things that I really appreciated about her : 1. She truly personalised the tour by understanding our areas of interests, and adapting her tour style to our requirements 2. She was upfront and forthcoming about the time required for each tour, and charged us a very decent rate, which speaks exceedingly well of her integrity.3. She was knowledgeable and fielded all sorts of questions posed by my friends and I, with equanimity. 4. She added that extra bit to her tour by giving us fantastic advice on where to shop, eat and explore the nightlife! I would highly recommend her, and go back to her when I visit Rome next!

    A trip to Rome made memorable with Antonella

    Reviewed June 8, 2017

    I went for a holiday with 3 girlfriends in May 2017 and we had Antonella as our guide for the Vatican, the Colosseum and the Roman Forum. Her indepth knowledge and humor along with it, not to mention ability to click fantastic pictures just took our overall experience to the next level. Thanks a lot Antonella. I will definitely recommend your guide services to anyone who is traveling to Rome next!

      Turning disaster into delight

      Reviewed March 13, 2014

      I went to Italy to play basketball in the World Masters Games in August 2013 with great expectations. The organising of the basketball programme was a complete disaster and after a terrible week all I wanted to do was to get out of the place. I had booked on a bus tour of Tuscany with 15 other basketball friends and was even contemplating not going. Then I met Antonella our tour director. What a breathe of fresh air. The bus was on time and loaded in a flash and we were on our way . From the very beginning everything was so well organised and Antonella's professionalism.and sense of humour made the week go too quickly. She was so dedicated that I am not surprised that Antonella is rated as number 1 of 51. I have recommended Antonella to so many people since I have returned where as straight after the games I wold have told people to give Italy a miss. Bryan Hennig.

      My boyfriend Ben took me to Rome last year as a birthday present which in itself was a wonderful treat....But while there he'd also arranged some special surprises - one of which was a private guided walking tour of Rome on the Saturday. We'd gone in September so the weather Gods smiled on us and it was azure blue skies and sunshiney hot all day. I was mid way through a hissy fit outside the train station when we met Antonella because I couldn't understand why Ben was making me stand and wait when I wanted to get inside the Colluseum!! I then found out, it was because we were waiting for Antonella and on arrival she was the epitome of casual Italian glamour and incredibly warm, kind and welcoming - an excellent start :-) Antonella's passion and enthusiasm for Rome and her country is quite simply breath taking and she draws you right in to her heart and to the soul of Rome which is something money just cannot buy. Her knowledge of Rome is astounding and she takes you to the most secret and interesting places you could never find on your own. I was worried about having to map read and us having to navigate all around Rome and ALL the stress and hassle of that was vanished as we followed Antonella around her home town and listened intently to her stories and facts. Lunchtime was more like breaking bread with an old childhood friend and we shared plates of delicious food and talked like we'd known each other for decades. I cannot thank Ben enough for booking Antonella - it was a total diamond day and one I will never forget. I cannot thank Antonella enough for her amazing service, professionalism, dedication, customer service, knowledge, skill, humour and for encouraging us to be "romantic" ;-) She also was very understanding and gentle when I burst into tears on rounding the corner and seeing the Trevi fountain for the first time and for fulfilling a childhood dream. I was overcome with emotion and happiness and rather than making me feel like a fool she said it made her feel even more proud to be from such a wonderful city :-) Please DO NOT leave Rome without spending time with Antonella. Ciao, Louisa xx
