Best private tour ever!

My husband and I enjoyed our private tour. You were very thorough and the way you told us the history almost sounded like a story we learned things we never knew before. Best tour ever and will definitely come back and have you give us more tours. If anyone is looking for the best tour in town she is the one to take one with! We fell in love with Rome

Federica was a superb tour guide

Federica was a superb tour guide. She was very knowledgeable and engaged with our group. The experience we all had for the first time in taking a tour in Rome was top notch. I would recommend any of the guided tours that she has to offer for Rome. If and when I do return to I will definitely sign up with her again. We were all very happy !

This tour was everything I hoped it…

This tour was everything I hoped it would be. As a fan of the historical novel “Eternal” by Lisa Scottoline which is set in the area, I was able to visualize the characters in their neighborhoods which I was standing in! Valentina was an exceptional guide!

10/10 Recommend!

This tour was wonderful and provided even more insight into an area I had already been to in Rome in a completely new way. Our tour guide was knowledgeable but also made it light and fun :) 10/10 would recommend!!

Small group

Small group. Lots of interaction. Really great to be taken to the Churches to see the Caravaggio paintings and have them explained in context.

Ghost stories tour

We had such a great time with Federica and it was great to have her all to ourselves. She has so many stories and so much knowledge, it's hard to remember it all! You will not regret a tour with her!

Not a great experience

The guide let us know from the beginning that she was ready for the tourist season to be done for this year. Overall, low energy and not very engaging.

Valentina was a wonderful personal…

Valentina was a wonderful personal guide to the Colosseo, and the Forum! We skipped Palatine because we are old and it was hot :) I have been to the forum twice with large tours and had basic knowledge but the private tour helped me gain so much insight into the Roma of the ancient Roman’s. It was truly fascinating. On the personal side, Valentina is charming, funny and incredibly knowledgeable. It was really more of a history class the an a tour. I will never take a tour again unless it’s like this! We will be back and we will absolutely use Live Virtual Guide again and again. Great experience. Grazie Mille Valentina! Baci!

Federica was an amazing and…

Federica was an amazing and knowledgeable guide for our tour! The Appian Way and catacombs have so much history that I knew nothing about. It has made me want to dive deeper into learning more about both! Federica answered all of our questions and provided more information than I could have imagined. She was a joy to be around and I can’t wait to go back to book our next tour!

Federica's expert knowledge

Federica's expert knowledge, vivacious, fun attitude and love of Rome and its history made this a great experience.
I live in Rome and study its history and explore this city and still always learn so much from Federica and LiveVirtualGuide. I am looking forward to my next experience!

Hidden gems of Trastevere

Federica did an excellent job of telling us numerous facts about a number of things. These were things I think you won’t find in any guide book about Rome. She kept it interesting and had a good sense of humor. I learned a lot about Trastevere and the Jewish ghetto during her tour. Well done!

Touring with Federica

Federica did an amazing job taking us thru the oldest catacombs and along part of The Appian Way. She is a wealth of knowledge and enjoys sharing her knowledge. I am looking forward to my next tour with Federica.
