"I led two groups to Italy in May and June of 2012.  In each case, we chose Kiron as our cultural expert and guide in Rome for both an Ancient City tour and and Vatican Museums/St. Peter's Basilica tour.  We really enjoyed our tours, were impressed with the throroughness of her knowledge and background, appreciated her good humor and are very likely to call on her again."

Our family wants to send our heartiest thanks to you for making our lovely trip to Rome so much more engaging, entertaining, informative and enjoyable!  You struck just the right chords for our teenagers when you described heroic and less-than-heroic stories of Popes, painters, artisans, sculptors, warriors, architects and everyday Romans as you guided us through the Vatican, Vatican Museum, Forum and Coliseum.  All four of us learned so much and were so grateful for your energy, grace and patience.  This was my third trip to Rome, and our two days with you made for my most enriching experience yet!

I will recommend you to any and all friends and family traveling to Rome!  It was a delight sharing Rome with someone who has such a deep knowledge of the roots from which Rome springs. You truly made our stay that much more memorable!  Grazie amico!

 Over three days, my husband had the wonderful opportunity of having a walking tour of Rome with Kiron.  She is not only informative, but gave inside information that you would not have read from any written material.

  Kiron was also a blast to be with - our time flew by.  She also sensitive to the needs of the traveler - one of our days a family with teenagers joined our tour.  Kiron was engaging to include the kids yet she continually gave the special nuisances of the sites.

  The Hams will definitely return to Rome with Kiron as our guide.  She is definitely an A+ tour guide!

 Ciao

"We saw an advert for Kiron in the Spectator and took a chance!  Kiron brought ancient Rome alive for our family, including four young children, who were captivated.  In the August heat we were able to do what we wanted at our pace.  Through Kiron's intimate local knowledge we were able to ease through the crowds and focus on the places and aspects of Rome that interest us."

- Robert S., Harare, Zimbabwe,  August 31, 2012

"An outstanding, comprehensive tour of the highlights of Rome! Our group was diverse with a young adult, an art history minor and an interested but unfamiliar adult.  Kiron offered a wonderful experience with information that was useful, interesting, and delivered in a friendly understandable way. She made the huge city brimming with history and information "doable," intimate and friendly. All roads should lead to Kiron if you are touring Rome!" 

- Lydia, S.,  Ottawa Hills, OH, USA,  July 13 , 2012

"Kiron was recommended to us by a priest at the Vatican as a tour guide with extensive knowledge of the Vatican and Rome. We spent a lovely afternoon on a Private tour of St Peter’s Basilica, the Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel.
 Kiron was great with our kids (12, 14 and 16) and told interesting facts and stories about what they were seeing and answered all their questions.
 Our only regret is that we had organised our other tours before meeting Kiron, as we all enjoyed our tour that afternoon more than any other on our trip.

- Frances S., Canberra, Australia, August 1, 2012

"We just returned from a visit to Rome where we had the good fortune to have Kiron as our tour guide for an afternoon at the Vatican and a morning at the Roman Forum and Colisseum. She was highly informed, very efficient in managing our time and very accommodating in terms of assisting in the arrangement of restaurant reservations, transportation to the airport on our day of departure, etc.

 Kiron is very profession in her demeanor, yet friendly, not at all condescending to the uninformed (i.e. the two couples in her tour!). We recommend her highly"

- David L.,  Dallas, TX USA, August, 2012 

"Kiron gave us a wonderful tour of Rome.  We went to the Catacombs, Ancient Rome and the Vatican.  She is so incredibly knowledgeable and passionate it makes your head spin. There were four of us (2 adults and 2 teenage boys) and she catered to each of our needs.  My older son spoke Italian and they had a blast conversing back and forth.  My younger son (15) was a bit quieter but she made an effort to include him in the conversations.  She has so many connections that we felt like VIP's going through the exhibits.  We would DEFINITELY recommend Kiron for your tour of Rome.  She will not disappoint."

- Rena W., San Ramon, CA , USA, June 20, 2012

"Kiron's tour took us back in time with her very vivid descriptions of the tour sites we went to.  It was a fascinating tour through Ancient Rome, the Coliseum and the Vatican.

 We learned so much about Rome, it was like an accelerated class in Ancient Roman History.  We were happy that we were referred to her and could not have imagined seeing these very important sites without her guidance.  Her expertise, knowledge and enthusiasm for the history and culture shines through.

 We will be back and we will definitely use Kiron again and recommend her whenever we can."

- Doug and Eydie M., Los Angeles, CA, USA, April 30, 2012

"From the early years of the Etruscan Rome up to the modern era, Kiron will answer all your questions, even the wildest ones :

What could Mark Antony have done in order to save Cesar from a cruel assassination? How could Caracalla take a hot bath with 2,000 people in the same place? How did Michelangelo take a violent, public revenge on his worst enemies with just a few brush strokes? How could Anita Garibaldi ride her horse at high speed while handling her baby in her left arm and her gun in her right hand and not getting hurt? Who makes the best hand-churned hot chocolate in Rome?

Kiron’s efforts to make our stay the best cultural experience one could dream of in Rome were so noticeable that Ferrari’s chairman Luca di Montezemolo, whom we met at the Vatican, came to congratulate her for her impressive dedication!"

“An awesome Tour of Rome! My husband and I had only 1 day and Kiron delivered a  packed day from the moment we met her at the Vatican at 8:45 until she dropped us off at our hotel at 6:15.WOW!!!Her passion and enthusiasm for the place was contagious. I want to return! She was also very easy to talk with and had a great sense of humor. I would recommend her to anyone visiting Rome!" 

- Kathy G., Dallas, Texas, USA.  November 8, 2011 

" Kiron could not have been a more gracious  tour guide.  She has a commanding knowledge of Rome and we greatly enjoyed our day.  We were on NCL Epic and wanted to have a more personal tour and Kiron gave us that experience.  We are recommending her talents to friends who are going to Rome in 2012 and will recommend her to others. Do not hesitate to have her for your tours."

- Karen & Arnold S., Houston, Texas, USA, September 28, 2011 

"What a wonderful tour!!  Thank you so much!  You are so knowledgeable.  It was quite evident that you enjoy what you do very much.  I really want to come back soon and stay at least 1 week.  Thank you also for being so thoughtful, patient, and caring with Karen and I and our disabilities.  By the end of the day, I felt like we were saying good-bye to an old friend." 

- Rise S., Cedar Park, Texas, USA, September 28, 201  

"This was our first trip to Rome and Kiron’s role as our tour guide helped to make it a memorable one.  The depth of her knowledge and her passion for what she is pursuing as a career were quite evident at first sight.  More importantly, Kiron’s professionalism and her willingness to be sensitive and adaptive to our needs and interests at various times during the tour made our experience particularly enjoyable.  At no time, we felt rushed during any of the tours. 

We started our first tour within an hour of landing at Rome (a walking evening tour of Rome).  Even though we were tired after a long flight, Kiron’s pleasant demeanor and excellent communication skills (both in Italian and English) immediately put us at ease. 

Our second and third days were just as informative and engaging.  We started with a trip to Vatican on the second day and had the right pace to enjoy the Vatican in full and the evening was an enjoyable visit of Spanish Steps.  The third day involved a tour of the ancient Rome followed by an afternoon tour of Catacomb and the Underground.  In between Kiron was also thoughtful to suggest going to Vatican to see and listen to Pope Benedict for the Sunday noon time address. 

Kiron was very thoughtful and accommodative throughout the tour. We could not have hoped for a better guide.  Kiron’s assistance and guidance was helpful not just in Rome; we benefited from her contacts when we traveled to Florence after Rome.  I have already recommended Kiron to some of my friends. 

Kiron, keep up the good work! Thank you."

- Nagi N & Family, Toledo, Ohio, USA, July 24, 2011

We have been on many tours in many countries but Kiron's tours rank with the best we've ever had. We went first with her on the walking night tour of Rome and loved it so much we went on the Vatican tour also! Kiron's knowledge of Rome and the Vatican is unparalleled and her fun and charming personality makes the tour even that much more enjoyable.

 For the Vatican tour, we started with only a few people going but when we raved to our friends about how great Kiron was, our tour group swelled to fifteen people and it wound up being an incredible experience, one we will never forget. We will certainly be recommending Kiron to all of our friends who visit Rome.  

- Jim and Lynn B., Los Angeles, California, USA.  July 18, 2011

"Just got back from our family vacation to Rome, Italy with our 2 teenage children and we couldn't have gotten as much information and history out of all the unbelievable sights of Rome that we visited without our tour guide, Kiron.  She was so informative and professional in the 3 days we spent with her.  I feel our whole family benefited from the incredible history and insight behind everything we saw. She has an amazing way of making it so interesting for the kids. Kiron not only made it interesting but as tired as we all were by the end of the day, the time we spent with her just went by too fast. I cannot express the gratitude I have for her. I really believe it would have been a complete waste of money touring Rome without her. Worth every penny!!! Incredible."

- Jean V., Plano, Texas, USA.  June 7, 2011 

"Kiron exceeded her performance last year!  Kiron planned and executed a week in Rome for 25 people, capped off by a wedding!  She was not only a tour guide, restaurant guide, kid guide, and shopping guide, but also a wedding planner to boot.  We cannot praise Kiron enough.  The week in Rome was a rare life experience for us, our children, our family and friends.

With Love,

David and Fran"

"Kiron's passion and knowledge of all things Roman,including the birth and growth of Catholicism were insatiable. Her patience, stamina and flexibility were outstanding.  Kiron is the best Rome has to offer as an introduction to or revisit of the majestic city. I count her as one of the top 10 things to get to know in Rome.  Treat yourself!" 

- Carol R, Dallas, Texas, USA.  Tour date: March 18, 2011

"Kiron was not only a great tour guide but she is a wonderful resource for traveling smart in Rome!  Her Ancient City Tour was both informative and entertaining.  She had a great knack for engaging our whole group in the discussion even the kids. It was great to be able to apply the knowledge she imparted throughout our trip. Thanks for making our trip extra special!"

 -Tricia & Tad D & Family, St Louis, Missouri, USA. Tour date: December 23, 2010

"Wow! Lots to say how well organized and thorough Kiron is!! We had the best time in Rome and I know it was all due to Kiron. When we left Rome, we wanted to take her with us! We missed her in the other cities we visited. If and when i ever get back, I will definitely use her again and probably take her with me to the other cities I will visit!

Highly recommend her!!"
