Hi let me introduce myself and help you sort out your Private Tours in Rome in the best of ways.
HI!
My name is Manuela Saolini and I am a qualified licensed Tour Guide in Rome and Vatican City.
Born and raised in Rome I am proud of my City and would want everyone to fall in love with it not only for its historical heritage but also for its really stimulating atmosphere. I have been working as a guide since year 2000 and when I work I always wear my certification badge, making it visible to my clients and to officers who check that official guides are displaying their license when in service. It is a job title I am very proud to have achieved, after extensive studies on archaeology, history of art, tourist legislation and a severe exam by local authorities: Provincia di Roma. Don’t tour with who doesn’t have one and choose only Certified guides.
I am fluent in English having lived in Australia for three years.
I am mother of two girls a 23 year old and a 12 year old so I can say I have a certain experience with children and to enable them to feel involved and curious on my tours I use an ipad, overlay books and have taken storytelling workshops.
Storytelling is one of the most ancient forms of communication so everyone is taken back in time to relive the Ancient Roman Emperors and Gladiators or the exciting life of Renaissance painters.
I love my work and I do it with passion, it enables me to be with people from all over the world when they are at their best moment…..on vacation.
It’s with an immense pleasure that I welcome you to Rome.

I travelled to Rome from Australia with my 2 sons (13 and 14) in December 2016. We employed Maneulas services over 2 half days: Colloseum and Ancient Rome on the first day, Vatican City on the second day.
I cannot recommend Maneula highly enough. She is very entertaining, a wealth of knowledge and relates very well to children and adult. It was plainly obvious that she is someone who takes great pride and pleasure in educating and guiding. She carried both an iPad and also books to assist in her explanations. Her English is excellent. She was also a wealth of tips on any queries at all we had about places to eat at, hire bikes from and even put us in contact with an excellent guide in Venice.
Well worth the price...a great saving in time and money for us and it was like travelling with a family member.
A warm and informative experience.
I value good knowledge and a good manner (I'm a doctor)...and Maneula was easily both.
Everything (tickets,itinerary) were arranged for us well in advance...we just followed and enjoyed.

Manuela and I began with email correspondence to define and refine requirements my wife and I had for a perfect two day tour of Rome. Of course we wanted to see the major early historical sites, the Vatican, and also get a flavor of modern day life in Rome.
Manuela created an itinerary that had us moving briskly through the ages. Her Australian accent takes you off guard, being that she is native Italian, but is very easy for native English speaking person to understand.
What made out tour special is Manuela's deep and broad knowledge of ancient Rome through the modern day; architecture, art, culture, politics, coupled with a keen sense of humor that made the history of Rome come alive. We learned so much, and realized there is so much more to learn.
We had lunch together one day in a trattoria of Manuela's suggestion which proved the perfect respite at the midpoint of our tour. The second morning we were treated to the most wonderful cannoli and sweets and flavored that set a new standard for us.
I will definitely be back to pick up where we left off.
