I was born and raised in Rome, I earned my degree in Political Science and History while studying abroad in London and later in Berlin. Living in these vibrant cities for several years allowed me to become fluent in English and German and taught me an invaluable lesson: the best way to truly understand a culture is to connect with local people.
What I enjoy most about my work is sharing the city in a way that goes beyond the usual tourist paths: the authentic heartbeat of Rome, the neighborhoods, the local life, the hidden stories that give Rome its soul.
And, as a true foodie, I love connecting art and food, because in Rome they are part of the same story. A museum or a church can easily lead to a market, a pizzeria, or a local restaurant. I’m here to help you experience the city as a whole, through what you see, taste, and explore.
And yes, being Roman, there’s always room for a witty remark or two along the way, because a good sense of humor is just as essential as a good espresso.
I’m originally from the south of Italy, from Campobasso, but I’ve been living in Rome for over 20 years now. I also spent some time living in the UK before coming back to Italy. That allowed me to become fluent in English
My background is in languages, history and art. I’ve been working as a licensed guide in Rome’s major museums since 2000.
I’m into theater and storytelling, and I spent about 10 years leading educational tours around Europe. Now I bring that same vibe to my tours in Rome, mixing history, architecture and cultur with stories, fun facts and even a little music and sound along the way.
I love sharing ideas, meeting people from around the world and creating tours that feel alive, engaging and personal. Every day, I learn something new and that’s the best part of this job!
Ciao! I’m Elena, a passionate tour guide based in Rome.
I graduated in Foreign Languages here in Rome, specializing in English, Spanish, and Russian. My love for travel led me to study abroad in Moscow and Cádiz, experiences that shaped both my personal and professional growth.
That passion naturally brought me into the world of tourism. For over 10 years, I’ve been working with travelers from all over the world, first as a licensed Tour Leader and now as a licensed Tour Guide.
What I truly love about my work is connecting with people and sharing the beauty, history, and hidden stories of the Eternal City. My goal is to turn every tour into a unique, engaging, and unforgettable experience, tailored just for you.
Me llamo Charo, llevo un buen tiempo viviendo en Roma y aunque no nací aquí, todos estos años me han permitido conocerla súper bien. Roma es una ciudad que me llena de emoción, de verdad, cada día te regala algo nuevo. Aquí terminé mis estudios y crecí y te puedo decir que ha sido una experiencia lindísima.
Soy guía oficial , estudié Administración de Turismo en la universidad aquí en Roma y estoy lista para enseñarte “mi” ciudad, ¡Roma!
I grew up in Ostia Antica, once the ancient port of Rome, where history was part of my everyday life. Being surrounded by its ruins sparked a deep passion for Ancient Rome and a desire to share its stories, especially encouraging travelers to discover this extraordinary and often overlooked site.
I hold a degree in Political Science and I am completing a second degree in Archaeology and Art History, combining academic knowledge with a genuine curiosity for the past.
Over the years, I’ve worked as a tour leader across Tuscany, Umbria, the Amalfi Coast, and Sicily, leading hiking as well as food and wine experiences. Today, I guide in Rome with a focus on Ancient Rome, bringing history to life through engaging and authentic storytelling.
