Hello! I'm Alessandra, a warm and open-minded local host in Rome. I'm absolutely in love with this incredible city and all it has to offer. From its rich history to its thriving art and music scene, there's never a dull moment in Rome.

I'm always eager to share my passion and enthusiasm for Rome with others. Whether you're looking for a unique cultural experience or just want to relax and soak up the city's atmosphere, I'll do my best to make sure you have an amazing time here.

We booked a half-day “Explore Istanbul with a Local” tour with Tugba, and she was simply outstanding. We explained that we wanted to see as much as possible without waiting in long lines — even if it meant skipping the Blue Mosque — and she delivered exactly what we hoped for. She guided us through hidden gems and lively neighborhoods, sharing insights and stories that made the city come alive, all while keeping us away from the crowds. By the end of the tour, Tugba was even making breakfast reservations for us at her favorite local spot — such a thoughtful touch! Spending the afternoon with her felt like exploring the city with a close friend or family member who knows all the best tips, tricks, and secrets. If we’re ever fortunate enough to return to Istanbul, Tugba will be the first person we contact. Highly recommended!

We have been to Rome before but wanted to learn a bit more behind the major sites. Alessandra was very informative and took time to tell us about the rich stories dating back to Roman times and modern events that shaped the city. She was an experienced guide with knowledge and character and expertly took us around the city to impart her knowledge in a fun and personable way. We are grateful for her expertise.

Alessandra is a passionate, informed guide making our tour very enjoyable! All six of us highly recommend her and would happily have her as a guide again. She made sure we saw the key highlights of Rome and made sure we were aware of their significance.
