Hello there! I'm Indira, your local host in the enchanting city of Rome. Rome, with its rich history and vibrant culture, inspires me every day. Whether I'm sketching in a hidden courtyard or sipping cappuccino on a cozy terrace, I'm immersed in the joy of Italian "dolce vita." With a deep knowledge of neighborhoods like Trastevere and Parioli, I'll show you the city's hidden gems and historic landmarks. But what truly sets me apart is my unique perspective. From exploring the city's talking statues to uncovering centuries-old restaurants, I'll ensure an exciting and immersive experience. Love tango? Let me take you to the best milongas in town. Want to sketch Rome's stunning cityscapes? I'll share insider tips while we sketch together. With me as your go-to Rome enthusiast, get ready to discover Rome in a whole new light!

Very interesting tour, part history. Large part shopping. Very good experience that we would recommend for those ladies like us who want to visit the shops but don’t know where to start. Thank you for your patience Indira!
