Manuela Saolini is a fully licensed and qualified Tour Guide for Rome and Vatican City, proudly certified by the "Provincia di Roma".
Born and raised in the Eternal City, Manuela brings to every tour not only her deep knowledge of Rome’s extraordinary heritage but also her genuine love for its atmosphere, energy, and timeless charm.

Since 2000, she has been leading travelers through the city’s most iconic landmarks as well as its hidden corners, always wearing her official badge—visible to clients and authorities alike. This badge is more than a formality: it is the result of years of formal education in archaeology, art history, tourism law, and a rigorous exam process. Manuela strongly believes that visitors should always choose certified guides to ensure quality, professionalism, and authenticity.

Fluent in English—thanks in part to three years spent living in Australia—Manuela is known for her clear, engaging communication and her warm, welcoming style. As a mother of two daughters, aged 23 and 12, she also has a natural ability to connect with children and young adults. Her tours often include storytelling techniques, visual aids like overlay books, and an iPad to spark curiosity and make history come alive for younger guests.

Manuela is a trained storyteller, having completed workshops to refine her narrative skills. She sees storytelling as a bridge between the past and present—bringing to life Ancient Roman emperors, gladiators, Renaissance artists, and more. This approach turns every tour into a vivid, immersive experience.

What she loves most about her work is meeting people from around the world during one of the happiest times of their lives—while they’re on vacation. With warmth, enthusiasm, and dedication, Manuela will welcome you to Rome and make sure your experience is as memorable as the city itself.
