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.

Today my husband and I had this tour with Shiva. We talked with her and her husband as we walked the streets of Rome. They showed us beautiful places, filled with history and also gave us a local view of a very touristy but charming city. Shiva made sure that the places we saw weren’t places we already saw or places we were going to see the following days. I highly recommend this tour. It felt like getting to know a city with your friends. I hope that if you decide to take this tour, you get as lucky as we did having Shiva as your tour guide. She and her husband were the most loving people we have met traveling through Europe!

Shiva and Luca were amazing tour guides! They took us on a three hour tour of Rome’s highlights. They were very responsive to the requests we had made and were both full ok knowledge of the sites we visited. Very warm and friendly and made our first day in Rome extremely memorable.

Sheva provided an amazing tour not only taking us to the important sites we wanted to see, but also answering questions about what it is like to live in the area. She was s wonderfully informative and pleasant guide.
