Rosalba C.

We had the pleasure of our tour guide Rosie Cilione for two different tours during our time in Rome. She was phenomenal, really connecting the dots and providing context for our tours of the Vatican/St. Peter’s/Sistine Chapel and Roman Forum/Colosseum. She was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the history. Highly recommend!

I booked the Colosseum Underground semi private tour for 6 through Marriott Activities. We had Rosalba as our guide. She was AMAZING!!! She studied history and lived in Rome for a long time. She knew so much. You can’t get a better guide than her. The tour was terrific! This was our third tour of Colosseum and the first one of the Underground. A lot of fun!

My wife and I were absolutely blown away by our private tour. Rosie...is the best. she literally made the tour, she was hilarious, kind, and so unbelievably knowledgeable. I am writing to this company tonight to see if Rosie is free to take us to the colosseum..hightlight to the trip. Thank you so much

Rosie was an excellent tour guide, extremely knowledgeable and gave us a VIP experience. Thank you!!

Rosalba is the BEST! We have two teenage boys and she kept them excited and interested the entire time. Made it one of the highlights of our trip ❤️🇮🇹⛪️

Rosalba was a wonderful and cheerful guide on our three hour tour of the Roman Forum and Colosseum. She brought history to life with in-depth stories and details that I wouldn't have noticed had I simply gone on my own, and as an added bonus handled all of the ticketing and communication with security and entry staff. If you find yourself in Rome I highly recommend Rosalba if you're looking for a guided tour.

Our guide Rosalba was excellent, so engaging, made history come alive, answered all our questions. An enjoyable and educational experience

Did the Vatican tour with Rosie. She was fantastic

We booked an excellent "Private Vatican Museums Hidden Gems" Tour. We had booked this particular one because it was longer than many others, and the Vatican requires much time to appreciate. (Even the four hours was, of course, only a small taste.) We were absolutely thrilled with our "Eyes of Rome" Guide, Rosalba Cilione (an Art Historian, whose business card verily calls herself a "Storyteller"). She carefully chose a reasonable set of elements on which we should focus., and provided both broad perspectives and sufficient in-depth (and fascinating) detail. The details (indeed stories!) brought the architecture, paintings, and sculpture alive and made our trip special..

Rosie was a well informed tour guide and quickly able to determine what might be of interest to our family at the Vatican. Despite the quick changes and adjustments to our liking she was extremely knowledgeable of whatever we were discussing. Very nice person. Very friendly.

We had such a fantastic tour of the Colosseum and Roman Forum. We were met at our air bnb by our guide and the private driver who whisked us through the city to the Colosseum. Our guide Rosalba (Rosie) was just fantastic! She was so knowledgeable and delivered the history of the Forum and Colosseum with ease while keeping our interest the entire time. I can't imagine not having her to guide us through these incredible sites. We would have missed so much. We also had Rosie take us on the Vatican tour the following day. Again, she demonstrated her deep knowledge of the history of the museums, Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica. With so much to see she was able to give us enough information to make the tour very enjoyable (age range for the 4 of us was 21 yo to 59 yo) and not overwhelming. I am so grateful that a friend recommended Eyes of Rome and even more grateful that we had Rosie as our guide!

We did a private tour with Rosalba while we were in Rome, and it was because of her that made our experience so informative and special. She did an amazing job with providing knowledge, history, and stories-- while also bringing her personality to the tour (which made it very engaging and entertaining). We were able to ask a lot of questions, but she was also so understanding if we just wanted to take in the scenery. I would absolutely recommend Rosalba as a tour guide for anyone who is hoping to experience Rome in a more intentional way!

Wonderful experience for my wife and I with our long time friends Sandi and Jeff. Many thanks to Rosalba, she was courteous, knowledgeable, thoughtful and professional - and HIGHLY recommendable.

Rosalba was extremely knowledgeable. She was passionate about the tour. Her passion made the tour so much more enjoyable. Highly recommend this tour.

This was the most amazing tour that I have ever taken. Rosalba was the most knowledgeable guide. Took her time answered all our questions. Worth every penny that was spent.

We learnt so much from her, without being overwhelmed with all the information. Her lovely, friendly manner and personal passion for the history and art made it an exceptional experience. Thankyou Rosy, Denise, John and Sally

This was such a worthwhile experience, we knew it would be crazy busy, but our private tour with Rosy made it seem so much less stressful and what an amazing guide! As the Vatican Museums are large Rosy ensured we saw what she considered the highlights in each. We learnt so much from her background knowledge of the Museums, Sistine Chapel and St Peter’s Basilica which she presented in an easy and enjoyable way. The insight we gained from an art history perspective were amazing. Her ability to pass on set in a “story telling” manner was great. We would highly recommend the tour, and if you are lucky you may get Rosy as your guide!

From start to finish this was a great experience ! Rosy was so knowledgeable and very accommodating ! FANTASTIC day !

Rosie was a great tour guide, very educated on the Vatican museums.The tour was well organized and informational. No wait times.

Rosy was an amazing tour guide! She was knowledgeable, engaging and great with the kids! She was also able to access a shortcut to St Peters Basilica! This was everyone’s favorite tour! We also appreciated having a driver pick us up at our rental! Definitely recommend!!

Rosalina C was amazing tour guide. Knowledgeable, energetic and friendly- she gave us a wonderful afternoon. Highly recommend. Exceeded our expectations.

We had a wonderful time on our tour with Rosie, and her knowledge of the colosseum and surrounding area was astounding! Rosie put us at ease during our tour as the Colosseum and Roman Forum can be overwhelming to take in and appreciate in the time we had. Thank you Rosie, for an amazing time together and we recommend this tour for those looking for an amazing experience!

Worth every penny to learn the history more personally. Rosie was a wonderful guide and so knowledgeable about the history. Excellent!

My group of 5 thoroughly enjoyed our tour by Rosie. She was friendly, engaging and so informative. We learned a lot! Would highly recommend doing this your private rather than a large group. Worth it!

This tour was a lifesaver for exploring the Vatican. So many things we would have never known in a VAST landscape of things to see. Rosie pointed out the most important things in our limited time, and was a huge help in getting us straight through and skipping the lines. We also opted for the pickup from our hotel which we would highly recommend! The driver dropped us right beside our guide!

We booked a day long excursion through Eyes of Rome whom we were very pleased with. We had a chauffeur Francisco who picked us from the port in a beautiful BMW. He drove very carefully as my wife is a nervous passenger. We arrived in the centre of Rome where we met our guide Rosalba. She took us firstly to the Vatican and Sistine chapel. I am not very good on my feet so she suggested we took a wheelchair and she pushed me around. It was a good plan as there was a lot of walking and steps. There was a lot to see and we only saw a fraction. The Sistine chapel was magnificent and also the sculptures, paintings and tapestries. Rosalba’s knowledge was incredible and there was nothing she did not know. We then visited St Peter’s sqare, but it was too busy to go into the Basilica. Once again Rosalba talked about the Pope and how new Pope’s were elected. A fascinating morning. We also visited by limousine the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, Colosseum and the Pantheon. We would never have been able to do in a small group and have the personal attention we had and learned so much without Rosalba and Francisco. Eyes of Rome listened to what we wanted in our short stay in Rome and provided the most memorable day for us. We can only say a big thank you to everyone who made our holiday very special, We have no hesitation in booking again with Eyes of Rome. Ken & Elaine

I do not belive there is a better way to see the Vatican. This is a must see and a wonderful place. Your guide Rosalba knew pretty much everything there is to know and the pace of the tour was great, way ahead of the crowd.

Had two back-back tours with Eyes of Rome. The first was the Vatican + Hidden Gems tour with Rosie. The second was the Colosseum + Forum tour with Silvia. Both were excellent, very knowledgeable and truly demonstrated their passion for their craft. Thanks to both of them!!! We appreciated you and learned so much.

We had a private tour for the Vatican city with Rosie. She was very friendly, kind and had a great energy when we started our tour, which is always a great start. Once we started to get though the museum, the St. Peters basilica Rosie blew our minds with how knowledgeable she is with history! We have learned so much! Highly recommend her!!! Bravo

Our guide Rosalba was very punctual cheerful flexible and helpful. She took us around the Colosseum and the Forum and regaled us with historical facts and anecdotes along with stops for terrific pictures which she thoughtfully also took all the time. She also took us to the Emmanuel Monument at our request to then end the tour- would highly recommend!

I have been on quite a few city breaks and always hire a private guide to either walk me around a specific building or for a city tour. On this occasion I had travelled to Rome with my mother (who is partially deaf) and as part of the holiday wanted to treat her to a guided tour of the Vatican. We met our tour guide Rosie outside the Vatican and had a four hour tour, which was, in all honesty, the best guided tour that I have ever experienced. Rosie was brilliant with my mother who is quite elderly and was so knowledgeable - I had studied the religious reformation (England and Luther) at an undergraduate level and Rosie really knows the history of the Vatican complex (including pre church), the Catholic Church (including all of the symbolism of architecture, monuments etc) and she tied this all together fantastically into what was the most memorable experience. If I could rate Rosie more highly than five stars I would.

We had a wonderful tour of the Vatican back in early April with Rosalba. She is super knowledgeable and was able to tailor comments to my mother (80), me (50) and my son (15). It was especially helpful to get a download of everything we would see in the Sistene chapel ahead of time - so we could really appreciate it when we got in. Thank you for an unforgettable tour.

Rosie was an incredible guide! Her extensive knowledge of the Colosseum and Forum was impressive. She connected with the whole group, ages from 16-70. I highly recommend!

I used this company for multiple tours, starting in Milan, and then Rome - Colosseum Arena & Underground, Early Bird Vatican, golf cart tour of Piazzas and Fountains, and Borghese Gallery. All tours were wonderful, and the guides were informative and accommodating. I was traveling with my 72 yr old mother and needed customization and a slower pace. Thank you Alessandro, Maria and Rosa, for the memories and your passion.

Rosy did a great job explaining everything. Definitely recommend the early bird tour as is it less crowded. We were there on Good Friday 2023 and yet the early crowd was limited.

Great guide (Rosie) who kept everything moving and pitched perfectly for everyone’s level of interest. Fantastic to skip the lines and experience the galleries and the Sistine Chapel without the crowds! Highly recommend.

Our absolute favorite part of our tour was our private guide, Rosie (Rosabela). We took many tours over our 10 days in Italy and we would book another Eyes of Rome tour in a second if we could have Rosie again. In fact, on our next trip, we'd like to book Rosie for a full day-anywhere! Not only was she extremely knowledgeable and personable but she bent over backwards to make our tour spectacular-in every way. My husband needed to carry a portable chair with us...Rosie made it happen. We needed breaks, no problem. We went over our time slot, no problem. She was able to put all the art and sites into context for us. Her enthusiasm was refreshing-many of our other guides seemed slightly bored. We loved every bit of our experience and can't recommend Rosie enough.

Our tour guide, Rosalba Cilione, was amazing. She was on time and knew the routes of entry that were efficient. Once inside, she navigated the tour in such a way that allowed plenty of time of listening/learning and seeing/experiencing. She brought a book that allowed us to understand what we were going to see before we saw it which was very helpful. She was extremely knowledgeable about the history and art of the Vatican as well as the current happenings. The private tour gave us a chance to the pace the tour to our needs and ask the questions that interested us. This was a quality experience that we highly recommend.

We thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon walking tour with Rosie. We started at the Palatine Hill, followed by the Roman Forum and Colosseum. Rosie has an incredible wealth of knowledge for Roman history and culture. She’s passionate, articulate and engaging in a most pleasant manner. We were surprised that our hours together flew by as we were entertained by her skillful storytelling. We finished up our day feeling we really lucked out with such an exceptional guide! Grazie Mille! Felicia

Gianluca and Rosalba were top notch. EXTREMELY knowledgeable, paced the tours well, and keyed into what we liked to spend more time on, or more passed other things at a more rapid pace. Highly recommend them both and eyes of Rome. Thank you!

Our recent tour of the Borghese Gallery and grounds was the perfect way to complete our Rome stay. Rosie was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the art and the artists. She made sure that we saw a variety of the most important art in the gallery. She also walked with us back to the hotel showing us interesting places along the way. We definitely recommend this tour!

My family was met at our hotel on time and taken to the colosseum in a lovely air conditioned van. There we met our tour guide Rosie for our private tour. She was great - very knowledgeable and kept us going at a good pace! Definitely a ???? experience!!!

Great personalised tour. From the moment Maurizo picked us up we knew this was going to be a great tour. Rosie our tour guide was knowledgeable, helpful and just a lovely person to spend a few hours with learning all about such a special place.

Rosalba (Rosie) hosted us the past two days during our visit to both ‘Ancient Rome/Colosseum and The Vatican/Secret gardens. Rosie didn’t just show us the highlights - she let us experience this magnificent city as a local. She took us on an incredible journey that - for us - could have gone on for hours and days. She is an amazing woman, extremely knowledgeable and always wanted to make sure we were comfortable. We also noticed that Eyes of Rome is well connected and highly respected. They are very well known and this makes it very easy to navigate. Thank you Rosie for making our time in Rome very special. When we come back - you will be the first one we reach out to. Alex and Marjolein (Dubai)

Rosalba was a fantastic guide who showed me the colliseum & the Vatican during my stay in Rome. Her knowledge was extremely impressive. She made the tours interesting but also light hearted with her good sense of humour ....I would not hesitate in recommending her to anyone wanting to see the sights of Rome. Many thanks Rosalba. All the best Olly

This tour was amazing. Our guide, Rosalba Cilione picked us up directly in front of our VRBO and took us to the Coliseum and Forum. It was awesome! She knew her history, having done this tour for 10 years plus. We were able to skip all the lines on this tour and go right in which was so worth it. Having a private guide who knew her history was so much better than a headset. I highly recommend this tour and we were brought safely back to our VRBO. Donna Vessey Phoenix, Arizona

This tour was a bit pricey, but book it now and don’t think twice! For the five of us, this experience was one of the best, most remarkable things we have ever done (and we travel quite a bit and are lucky to get to do nice things regularly). We were a group of five, including two boys (ages 10 and 12) and a grandma (age 75). Rosie met us at the apartment having arranged transportation to the Vatican. Once we arrived, she managed all the logistics and lines without us having to get involved one bit. Beyond the line and logistic management, though, Rosie created for us an experience we will never forget. With Rosie’s expertise, we experienced the Vatican in a way we could not have imagined, and our boys are still talking about it and wondering if and when Rosie can come visit in Colorado. Thanks to Rosalba and Eyes of Rome for a wonderful time that exceeded every expectation!

Barbara de Rosa was our guide for the afternoon,her knowledge and passion for her subject was inspiring and she made our visit better than we could have imagined. She made us feel very welcome in Rome and I would highly recommend that you use this company if you want to get the most from your time. When in Rome ask a Roman to show you around. Thanks for a great day. Jan Scott

Our guide, Rosalba, is experienced, prepared, expert, cordial and patient. Plus she was early when picking us up at our hotel. The tour was all that was promised - transport, timing, easy access to the attractions, and no lines (!). And she took us to a secret photo overlook of the Colosseum without a single other person there - an unimaginable rarity at attractions in Rome. There is really no better way to see these sites, and no better guide than Rosalba.

Barbara de Rosa was my private guide for Forum and Colosseum. Barbara met me at the hotel and we proceeded onto the Forum to start then the Colosseum. Barbara was extremely knowledgeable. It was the best way to see these amazing sites. As she said every rock has a story. And Barbara knew them all. She continued to check in and ask if I had questions or wanted more or less info. I soaked in all she relayed. The history is fascinating and the best way to see is with a guide if you do not have the in-depth historical knowledge. Barbara was personable and fun - It was like touring these fantastic places with a friend... an extremely knowledgeable friend! I can’t recommend these tours enough and Barbara even more as your guide!

This was one of the best tours I've ever taken! Our tour guide, Rosie, was incredibly knowledgeable and made every effort to ensure that the tour covered everything we wanted to see within the Vatican. She really personalized it to our interests. That and the fact that we didn't have to wait in any of the numerous lines throughout the Vatican museums made this experience well worth it. The hidden gems part of the tour is really fascinating and lets you go into parts of the museums that are roped off. Its a nice break from the throngs of people at the Vatican. If you want to maximize your time at the Vatican with an expert I highly recommend this tour with Rosie! Thank you so much Rosie! We had a such wonderful day with you.

We had two tours with Gianluca and Rosie while we were in Rome. It was WELL worth the money for a private tour. We did a walking tours each day. One the first day, we did the Pantheon, Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain and move sights throughout our 4 hour walk. Gianluca even showed us great restaurants, coffee and gelato shops along the way. he was incredibly informative and knew so much of the history. He knew exactly where to go to skip the crowds too. We had a Vatican, Roman Forum and Colosseum tour with Rosie the next day. She was awesome as well. Super informative and we skipped every line - which was SO worth the money in the Vatican. Rosie took us to a great restaurant for lunch and we absolutely loved spending the day with her. Highly recommend spending the money for Eyes of Rome and private tours. Wouldn't have done it any other way!

Thank you Rosie. Fantastic tour of Rome. Really appreciated all the insight and great details. Ciao

Spend a Wonderful Day with Rosalba! My family and I enjoyed an incredible day with Rosie on our recent trip to Rome. Since we only had two days, we wanted to see as much as we possibly could, so we went on a private, made to order tour through Eyes of Rome. Our guide, Rosie, made that possible while finding chances to stop, relax, and even shop. Being an expert in Art History and Archeology, she was extremely prepared as she began the day with a walking trip through the Forum and Paletine Hill which overlooked it. As a wonderful storyteller, she gave a vibrant overview of the history and mythology which gave rise to the Rome of today and provided illustrations to show the past and the present. Our next stop was a “Skip the Line” private tour of the Coliseum. She knew exactly how to find the best views from different areas of the ruins and explained little known facts to make it come alive. Following the tour, Rosie walked us to one of her favorite cafes where we enjoyed a local menu as well as her company! Not only did she plan a fabulous afternoon tour, she also assisted us in contacting the airline attempting to get boarding passes for the following day’s flight home, even allowing us to use her phone to try to make contact! After lunch, she called for a golf cart which took us on a private tour of the highlights of the City. The driver was very skilled and made our trip though the busy streets lots of fun. Because we were driving, we saw more than we could have ever seen through a walking tour. Some of the highlights were the Circus Maximus, Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, Piazza Navona, Piazza del Popolo, and the Borghese Gardens. We ended the day with a tour inside the Pantheon and Rosie’s recommendation for a great restaurant nearby. Because of Rosalba’s expertise, kindness, and enthusiastic personality, our trip to Rome will always be a favorite family adventure, one which we will always remember!

A must-do tour! Barbara De Rosa was a fantastic guide, super friendly and very knowledgeable! The skip the line passes were great too, as the lines were very long in June.

Rosie gave an excellent tour! Friendly, Funny, knowledgeable! Really enjoyed this time with her! My family thanks you for making this tour so memorable! You are awesome!

We had a marvelous day with Rosie at the Colosseum, Palatine Hill, Roman Forum, Catacombs and St Clemente church. We booked the tours through our hotel and were lucky to Get Rosie (Rosalba) with Eyes’s of Rome. Rosie is so knowledgeable and energetic and kept us on a great pace. Her explanations of the history brought everything to life. Rosie is a great story teller and you can tell she really loves what she does. We will definitely call Eyes of Rome and ask for Rosie next time we visit Rome

Rosalba ('Rosie') was our guide for both our private guided trips in Rome - first to the ancient city and then to the Vatican. We are a couple with 2 toddlers, and after the simply excellent experience on the first trip, we specifically requested her for the next one. She was deeply knowledgeable of all the attractions, clear and interesting in her story-telling as well as savvy in finding a way quickly among the milling crowds. She was particularly considerate of our young tots, and built the tour keeping all in mind as we went along. We had a very pleasant and educational time on both days - recommend her unreservedly!

We Enjoyed our private tour with Rosalba Cilione. She was very friendly, knowledgeable, and organized our tour very well. I highly recommend her.

Barbara de Rosa gave us a really interesting tour. The Colosseum and Forum are incredible. We recommend it.

Rosalba is a wonderful tour guide. She is very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. She knew how to point out the most interesting things and keep us on time. She helped us from the beginning to the end including how to find us a taxi. I would highly recommend Rosalba Cilione for individual private tours. As an art history major, she knows a lot about paintings sculpture tapestries history and the artists.

Rosalba was our guide 10/2018 for the Colosseum. We returned to Rome with our children and fortunately, we were able to have Rosalba provide us with a Private Walking Tour of Rome. She was fantastic once again! Thank you Eyes of Rome and Rosalba for a job well done!!

My 70+ year old parents had an amazing time with Rosalba touring the Vatican. She was patient, intelligent, fun, and extremely knowledgeable. My mom said she “knew every corner of sistine chapel… she pointed out details, oddities that one would not otherwise have seen when walking through.” She has a lot of art history educational training and museum experience and it was evident during the tour as she did a great job explaining the history of artists and artworks throughout the buildings. My parents remarked that they never could tour the site without Rosalba - when they arrived there was an incredibly long line to get in. But as soon as they walked up, Rosalba showed her badge to someone and they cut the line. Incredibly painless and convenient and stress free trip, unbelievably! My mom has some difficulty walking, which I specified to Eyes Of Rome prior to the tour. Going with a wonderful private guide like Rosalba was the solution - Rosalba led my parents through the museum at a pace that was comfortable for my mom. My dad said it was the most engaging and intimate way to see the Vatican, “Like three friends walking through the museum.” Except one of them - of course -Rosalba - was extremely knowledgeable! Thank you so much, Rosalba, for taking good care of my parents. This was a once in a lifetime experience and I think if you hire one private tour during your Rome trip, it should be for the Vatican due to its scale and crowds — and if you’re lucky you can book with Rosalba :)

Rosalba Cilione was amazing! She is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about what she does. She made the Vatican tour the best experience ever! My husband and parents went together with her, and we all left feeling that her information greatly enriched our experience. Also, she was very friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend!!!

Our Story Teller was Barbara De Rosa. I'm not sure the tour I picked above adequately describes the tour we took but it was the closest in the list. Barbara picked us up at our hotel and we toured the Coloseum, Forum and Pantheon and several other sites in Rome. Barbara was very knowledgeable about all the things we saw and she was very pleasant to be with. She was also flexible as we added some extra stops along the way and extended our tour with her an extra hour because we were having a very good time. Barbara gave us a lot of very interesting information about each of the things we saw even when we added some things that weren't scheduled ahead time and she was also very good at communicating in our language which isn't always the case when travelling in a foreign country.

Simply put, our family of six (all 55-plus) had an amazing private tour! Thank you Eyes of Rome and Ms. Barbara De Rosa for making our day special, especially after a disastrous start when the tour we booked with another company three months prior was cancelled that morning. Thankfully, Debora at our hotel (Hotel Artemide) highly recommended Eyes of Rome and within an hour we had a tour set up later that day (a good thing too since this was the only day we could visit the Colosseum). Our tour guide Barbara met us at our hotel and had a mini-van waiting for us that took us straight to the Colosseum. I was very worried since my sister needs a wheelchair and my dad is, shall we say, a slow walker, but within minutes I knew Barbara was special as she guided us through the crowds and right into the Colosseum with skip-the-lines access. NOTE: skip the lines is a must if you plan to visit the Colosseum or Vatican, especially on weekends! Barbara was patient with the slow pace our special-needs group, leading us around paths or obstacles where a wheelchair couldn't pass, making sure we saw everything. Barbara led us to the best viewing spots where she pointed out relevant highlights, with pictures on her iPad providing added insight. Three of our group had been to the Colosseum before, and we all agreed this tour far surpassed those we took before with other companies. Getting into the Roman Forum is a difficult challenge for a wheelchair, but Barbara knew right where to go and got us past the barricades with minimal problem. I strongly recommend Eyes of Rome... and I give my highest 5-Star rating to Barbara!

Mon épouse, mon petit-fils et moi-même avons visité le Colisée, le Palatium et le Forum Romain en compagnie de Barbara De Rosa qui était charmante, mais tout d'abord ponctuelle! Ses informations etaient claires et complètes, très précises. Elle est également très serviable et à l'écoute de ses clients. A recommander!

Rosalba was our tour guide for our visit to the Vatican and the Colosseum. Her wealth of information is phenomenal and so much that my head hurts by the second day trying to keep all the details I was learning. It was our first time in Rome and we only had a few days to spend so my wife and I decided to get a tour guide. With all the travels we’ve made to different countries, this was our first time having a tour guide and it was a good decision and very well worth it. We normally just read up about the place my wife and I will visit and then capture photos to remember and reminisce. This time around and having a tour guide, our visit is more meaningful with deeper appreciation and understanding of the history behind the places we visited. Yes nowadays with technology it is so easy to get information and in different formats e.g. video, web, etc. but having a live person actually story-telling its history and answer questions makes the past really come alive! My wife and I enjoyed our time visiting the Vatican and the Coliseum and with Rosalba’s story-telling, she definitely made our learning a very entertaining experience. When in Rome, I would highly recomend getting a tour guide. When selecting a tour guide company, I would highly recommend Eyes of Rome. Last but not the least, I would highly recommend getting Rosalba as your tour guide! Thank you so much Rosalba. We’ll definitely be back and hopefully reconnect.

Rosalba Cilione brought my husband and I for a private tour of the colosseum. Her business card's second line states she is a "Story Teller." That says it all. Her enthusiasm for her profession gives her "audience" an amazing glimpse into the story of Rome. We have traveled a bit, but have to say her tour has to be the best ever. We will be back, and will definitely ask for Rosalba again.
