Ancient Rome

A magnificent first impression is what comes to mind when I think about our tour with Paola. Our first meeting was warm and welcoming. We had just arrived into Rome, a little tired from travel, and immediately was energized by Paola’s positive energy, her expertise and exceptional stories. Each landmark that we encountered – from the seemingly insignificant (e.g. the color of stone for roads and walkways) to the profound historical markers (e.g. the coliseum) – was explained in detail with story and conversation threaded through it. It was as it she was inviting us into a journey of exploration that consistently grabbed our attention. Of course, we asked loads of questions, indicative of our engagement, to which she responded ever so graciously. Her background, credentials and expertise brought credibility to the experience, and we ever so appreciated that we had ‘an expert’. Our time with Paola has left a wonderfully positive lasting impression – one that I will treasure for a very long time.

We can’t imagine seeing the Colosseum without Paola. She made sure that we understood the history in the Colosseum. She knew exactly where to take us. Thank you Paula for being so professional and friendly ! We hope to be come back soon !!

“This is a great tour! Having a private tour guide was the best thing we could have done for these areas. It is all amazing to look at the ruins and to think about how old it all is but Paola made it real. We felt as if we had gone back in time and were living among the ancient Romans. We had a ton of questions and she patiently answered every single one. I would recommend this tour to everyone.”
