Although we have visited Rome many times, on our last visit we decided to use a much more knowledgeable guide, and someone with archaeological skills and experience. We were absolutely delighted with Marisa's knowledge and passion for the Forum and Palatine, and ancient Roman history. The few hours we spent with her was absolutely the best ever. She made this trip memorable and enjoyable and we are so grateful. Marisa is a real gem.

Marisa was an amazing guide! She is extremely knowledgeable and had a great way of explaining history, art, architecture of the sites that made it very interesting and memorable. She explained both small fascinating details and the larger overall picture. This provided me with a greater understanding of changes through history, reason behind things, what archaeologists have recently discovered, etc. Everything I learned from Marisa stayed with me throughout my trip; and I had much more knowledge and appreciation, and noticed more elements than I normally would have. Very highly recommend Marisa for any tour!

Marisa fascinated my family group of six with the story of Ostia Antica - the ancient port of Rome. Ostia was UNCROWDED - A pleasant surprise after the millions of tourists in Rome. We could take our time exploring an actual dig. The children could wander safely. Marisa met us at the trains station and we traveled together to Ostia. She tailored to tour to fit our interests.

Marisa is a personable and very knowledgeable guide that gave us insight in to the history, culture and architecture of the Romans. Every portion of the tour showed us things in a new light and gave us information of interest that expanded our knowledge and enjoyment of the sites. She adjusted the level of detail and the topics according to our interest, and I would highly recommend her to anyone thinking of a personalized tour.

What a fantastic day we had with Marisa. Starting at the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill we learned so much about history and the evolution of Rome. We continued on to the Colosseum and again learned so much about its construction and history. After going to a great pizza place for lunch we toured the Basilica of San Clemente. It was so interesting to go underground and see the 3 different levels of construction on the same site. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Marisa and would highly recommend her tours.

Marisa has a great knowledge of the local history and traditions. She is passionate about the subject of antique Rome excavations and even participated in some herself. She is completely fluent in English language. She was able to adjust the tour and make it very interesting for our boys 12 and 13. They liked her tour very much as well.

Marisa was amazing. She is friendly, accommodating, super organised and passionate. I love Roman history but have never studied it. So I needed a guide for all the ruins in and around Rome, who could do more than explain the basics, but would not inundate me with too much complexity. Marisa can go as deep into the history as much as you like, but read my needs well. I learned so much, and it was fun.
