Ciao and welcome to Rome. My name is Sara and I'm a lifelong Roman native. As a guide, I'm a licensed to work anywhere in Rome, including the Vatican and Colosseum, and I've been doing it for over 25 years now! A quarter century showing off my hometown :)
Many years ago, I graduated in foreign languages at the "Roma Tre" University, and then took off to a number of different cultures to see a bit of the world and perfect my language skills with some "real world" experience. After finishing a number of languages courses in the UK and France, I got my guiding license in 2010 and have been at it ever since.
Outside of guiding, I'd say that I'm a traveller, a dreamer, a person addicted to painting, and someone perpetually fascinated by all expressions of art. I speak fluent English, French, and Spanish, and I've also learned a bit of German, so I also like learning languages, but even more so learning about other cultures and other people, something I do every day with my guests!

Our Vatican tour was truly unforgettable, thanks to our exceptional guide, Sara Verde. From the moment the tour began, Sara's deep knowledge, and storytelling brought centuries of history to life. She navigated the vast Vatican Museum, Sistine Chapel, and a tour of the outside the walls visit with ease, highlighting hidden details and sharing fascinating facts we'd never have discovered on our own. Her enthusiasm was contagious, especially when we saw the Pope in the square. Sara made the experience both educational and inspiring. We felt engaged the entire time and left with a deep appreciation for the art and history of the Vatican. She helped us prepare for our afternoon Basilica visit because it was closed during our tour. I highly recommend Sara Verde for an enriching and memorable visit!

After a weeks cruise to a number of countries in the Mediterranean we spent a few days in Rome. Our tour with Sara was the most exceptional tour of our trip. It was fun, super informative and professional. We took the scavi tour a day later which was so interesting and her tour gave us the background information that allowed us to understand the scavi tour better. I can't give her a better review for her services.

Sara was so friendly and knowledgeable. She had everything perfectly arranged for us from the airport pick up to the drop off at the hotel afterwards. It was a great way to do Rome when we only had one day.

Sara Verde made our tour of the Vatican memorable. Her extensive knowledge of the history of the site, architecture, artists, popes, etc. was unmatched. AND, her English was excellent! I highly recommend Sara and her tours.
