Your Roman Storyteller

"Rome isn't just a city to me — it's my home, my heartbeat, and my greatest story to share."

Born in Albania, I moved to Rome at 18 to continue my studies. What I didn't expect was to fall completely in love with this city. The more I explored, the more fascinated I became by its history, architecture and the genius of ancient Roman civilization. Today, being a guide isn't simply my job — it's my way of sharing the city that changed my life. Rome has become my home, and nothing makes me happier than helping others fall in love with it too.

"Every tour should feel like exploring Rome with a local friend."

Born in Albania and shaped by experiences across Europe, I first worked as a tour guide in Prague, where I discovered my passion for bringing history to life. After moving to Rome in 2013, I spent years working in the tourism industry. But my true calling was always guiding. Today, I've returned to the profession I love most — sharing the beauty, stories, and hidden corners of the Eternal City with travelers from around the world.

Your Roman History Enthusiast

"I love bringing ancient history to life for every guest."

Born in Romania, I spent my childhood there before moving to Rome — a city I soon came to call home. From the very beginning, I built my career in tourism, where my natural talent for languages and passion for history quickly set me apart. Over the years, those qualities helped me become one of Rome's most charismatic and highly regarded tour guides. Energetic, engaging and passionate about sharing the city's rich heritage, I love bringing ancient history to life.
