Hey there! I'm Shiva, your friendly local host here in Rome. What I adore most about Rome are its hidden gems – the tranquil villas and parks where you can escape the hustle and bustle yet still feel the heartbeat of the city. You'll often find me immersing myself in multi-cultural events, and meeting new people from diverse backgrounds. And oh, the cuisine! From delicious street food to exotic international flavors, I'm always on a mission to taste the city's foodie delights. I know Roma Est, Centro Roma, Pigneto, and Piazza Vittorio Emanuele like the back of my hand, and will show you the most amazing places! Whether it's dancing the Tarantella or exploring cultural hotspots, I've got you covered. Let's embark on an unforgettable Roman adventure together! See you soon.

Shiva was an absolutely incredible tour guide! She took us to every place we wanted to see—and extras that amazed us even more! She patiently answered all our questions and eagerly shared the best spots to eat and explore for the rest of our adventure.

Shiva was fantastic! She took us to all the places we asked about and even more. She also shared lots of great food recommendations and spots I could explore during the rest of my visit. She was very easy to talk to and patiently answered all my questions.

We had a 3 hour walking tour around Rome. Our guide was Shiva and she was just amazing. Her knowledge about the history of Rome was so interesting. We had the best time and felt very comfortable the whole time. I had personally never been overseas before and Shiva was able to make the whole experience wonderful. I would highly recommend Shiva as a personal tour guide and would recommend more time if able to. Thank you Shiva for making our very short time in Rome memorable. Xx
