Andreea is simply extraordinary. On short notice she researched and designed a tour specific to my research interests... and proceeded to blow my mind with her knowledge and passion for the subject matter! I was so impressed by the insight and perspective she brought to multiple periods of Roman history and her remarkable synthesis of art, history, literature, and philosophy. I know I'll never forget the hours we spent together.

Having someone to guide you around a city like Rome is the way to go. We saw churches and art that we would not have necessarily found on our own. Our guide was knowledgeable, easy to talk to and we had a great time.

I booked the literature experience in Rome when I was travelling solo across the major cities in Italy. Letizia was fantastic. She graduated in Italian literature and shares my passion for English Romantic poets, we have so much in common! She showed me the paces which are special for her, like the Keats-Shelley Memorial House which is just right beside the Spanish Steps. I didn't know about this! I wish I had more time in Rome as Letizia spoke with passion about many places I couldn't visit in this occasion... I am booking my next flight to Rome asap and will book Letizia again, no doubt!
