"Kiron has a gift for making each tour so interesting that you actually never want it to end. I loved every single tour she gave myself and my sister in law. We spent 4 days with her touring all of Rome. I would strongly recommend her. She is amazing!!"
- Sandy D., Madison, Mississippi , USA, May 22, 2016
"When you arrange a trip to Rome, it's a must to use Kiron, We had her for 4 different tours and each one were absolutely amazing! She brought things to life. She helped you understand and truly appreciate what was before you.
It was my second trip and it was so much better than the first. Thank you Kiron for making it so fun. You make things so personable, and helped us with restaurants and shopping..a friend for sure.

"Simply the Best is all that needs to be said.
Kiron is an amazing tour guide and will accommodate the most challenging schedules!! She made our whirlwind tour of Rome the most amazing and spectacular. She met us on Thursday evening, Friday afternoon, Saturday morning (early!!) and then again the following Saturday so we could experience Rome end to end!!
What separates Kiron from other guides in my opinion is she not only shows you the sites, she helps you to experience the site, her history and explanations of WHY and HOW allowed our group to truly feel the essence of the site and also understand the significance it had and continues to have to Roman history. We will definitely be back and look forward to having Kiron's smiling face teaching us more about the history, culture and beauty of Rome and it's people.....
Thanks again for an awesome journey....The Texas Wino's Lisa, Dave, Kathy & Mike!!"

"Kiron gave us a day-tour of ancient Rome and the Vatican. Since we were all new to Rome she made sure we saw ALOT in a very timely manner. She is great and I highly recommend her.She will also take you to a cozy sidewalk cafe for a post-tour celebration drink!"
- Doug E., Dallas Texas, USA, Tour Date: April 6, 2016
"Kiron is fabulous, so knowledgeable and thorough in her presentation and generous with her time. She really made the Roman Forum, the Colloseum, and Baths of Caracalla come to life for me in a way that they never had before on my many prior visits to those sites with guidebooks in hand. She is also just a nice and easy to be with person. I very highly recommend her."

We took both Kiron's Ancient Rome and Off the Beaten Track tours and they added so much to our time in Rome. Kiron is knowledgable, engaging, responsive and punctual. She brought life to the Roman Forum with stories of the times, and helped us see the history in front of us.The Off the Beaten Track tour took us to places we just wouldn't have seen without her. We would highly recommend her services.

My wife, son and I were totally enchanted with Kiron's knowledge, guidance, and her ability to put is in the right place to see and understand all we touring with her. I have a History degree and her knowledge only reinforced what I knew while she provided the color or more detailed information for three days of our tours to the Vatican Museum/Sistine Chapel, Roman Ruins, and the Basilicas of Rome. She is a must to have as a guide while visiting Rome. Tom, Lori, & Tyler S.

"We were in Rome for only 3 full days, and Kiron was with us for 2 of those days, taking on us guided tours of the Vatican Museums one day, and the Roman Forum and the Colosseum the next day. We were a group of 17, including 6 teenagers and a priest! Kiron was so informative and entertaining as she explained and described everything we saw (and didn't see!) that I can't imagine having seen those sites without her knowledge and insights. Just the other day I asked the kids what they remember most about our trip to Italy, which included Florence and Positano as well... all three said they remember the tours we took in Rome. Kiron infused our experience in Rome with her passion and her intelligence and wit. I intend to contact Kiron next time we are in Rome so she can enhance our visit the way only a fun, highly knowledgeable tour guide can do! "- Julia A., Chicago, Illinois, USA, June 27, 2015
Kiron was instant family when we first met her! She has an amazing personality coupled with incredible knowledge about Ancient Rome, Vatican City, and the Major Basilica's. We spent 3 days with her in June and each day was an incredible adventure! Kiron planned the 3 days out for us and each day turned out perfect.
Kelly R., Oakland, Michigan, USA, June 22, 2015
"Our group of 6 received Kiron's tour of the magnificient Sistine Chapel, Vatican Museum and St Peter's. She made history come alive, spoke with passion and created such enthusiasm within us. Her understanding of each place she presented to us was so impressive. She was funny and spirited and a joy to spend hours with!!!!
I will recommend her till I can return and do it all again! "- Anne S., Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA, May 8, 2015
This was a first time visit to Rome for my family; my husband and I took our son and daughter-in-law to celebrate my birthday. We got Kiron's name from a friend who used to be based at The Vatican. Kiron is so knowledgeable, not only about the history, architecture and art, but also the soul of Rome. We learned so much and could not have seen or done as much as we did without her. We highly recommend her. Also, her webiste is invaluable.- Karen R., Texas USA, April 18, 2015
Our family thoroughly enjoyed touring Rome during the Christmas holiday with our guide, Kiron. Over the course of several days, she somehow managed to engage and educate our diverse group – four adults, two teens, and three kids ranging in age from 6 to 11. We’ve all had the opportunity to travel over the years (Rome, included), so we really appreciated the novel experience of simply showing up then absorbing all Kiron had to offer while we made the most of our holiday. The pacing and amount of info was spot-on for her audience, and we all (even our art history aficionados) left Italy learning something new. Throughout each lecture, Kiron was able to fluidly adjust the tone and level of detail, so our entire group benefited. Furthermore, her presentation style never actually seemed like a lecture, at all. It was more like listening to a story – something that appealed greatly to the younger travelers in our group. After this particular trip, I’ve come to the realization that if we’re fortunate enough to travel abroad – especially with children or teens/young adults – it makes sense to see the city with a well-chosen guide. Just hearing the kids reference something they picked up from one of our tours with Kiron, makes it worth it:) In addition to her expert knowledge and language skills (fluent in both English and Italian), Kiron is personable, reliable, and flexible. Simply a great experience using her services. - Leslie B., Kuwait City, December 22, 2014
Rome really is a magical city, but my family and I would not have know how wonderful it is without the help of Kiron. She did an incredible job explaining the many years of history to us as we walked through the ruins. Her narrative helped us picture what Rome was like during the time of Julius Caesar, the gladiators and after the great empire fell and Christianity began to remold the city. Kiron is passionate about history and it shows in her tour guides! I recommend her completely!
- Whitney H., Lafeyette, Colorado, USA, December 21, 2015
My family and I recently went to Rome for part of our holiday vacation and had the pleasure of walking the ancient city with Kiron. We had six people in our group and were skeptical about the idea of a tour guide (money, importance, necessity, etc). Kiron completely changed my skepticism into total appreciation! She made the city come alive and painted wonderful pictures of the lives of those who lived among the ruins - I was completely awed by all of the in-depth information that was relayed to us as we traveled through the major sites.
We had Kiron for the Colosseum, Vatican City, and Sistine Chapel. After our tours with Kiron, we ventured out on our own and noticed quickly that we wished to have had her guiding us. A tour guide is essential in order to experience Rome in all its glory and beauty and to fully understand what took place there. Doing research and reading some of the posters does not even remotely touch the facts and information Kiron provides you, and therefore, you cannot truly get the picture of what ruin/important monument is in front of you.
Kiron is up-beat, fun, intelligent, and has a real passion for history. Her enthusiasm is infectious and she lays out the information in a beautiful way so you can really connect with what you are looking at.
Thank you, Kiron, for making our Rome trip one for the books and handling our motley crew!- Stephanie J., Denver, Colorado, USA, December 21, 2014
Thank you so much for the wonderful tours; you really helped ground both my mother and I. We kept remarking for the rest of the trip (we were in Italy a total of 7 days), how we felt as though we were a part of the cities we were entering, not just bystanders.
It is rare to find people that are as smart and thoughtful as they are nice, Kiron fits that bill and is definitely worth it. - Molly F., Jerusalem, Israel, November 28, 2014
"We had the pleasure of having Kiron for a tour guide during our recent stay on Rome. Kiron's wealth of knowledge and her sense of humor makes makes history come alive. She took such good care of us every step of the way, including setting us up with a car service for day trips to the Amalfi coast and Pompeii. She truly made us feel at home and gave us invaluable advice whenever we needed it. One of our party stayed on for a few days extra and Kiron took care of her hotel reservations etc. We will definitely go back to her on our next trip. I would recommend her in a heart beat."
- Mena B. , East Norwich, New York, USA. September 19, 2014
"Kiron gave myself and two grown up children a tour of the Vatican, Sistine Chapel and St. Peters Basilica on our first ever visit to Rome and from the minute she started this tour to the minute it ended we were completely engrossed. Kirons knowledge is extremely impressive, but the delivery of that knowledge is what made this tour so special. I could not recommend Kiron highly enough and would, without hesitation, book her again if I am ever fortunate enough to return to this fascinting city."
- Anna G., London, UK. September 4, 2014
"Our family of 6 spent time with Kiron for the better part of 8 days in Rome (7/21 through 7/28). This means we had the opportunity to enjoy a number of her structured tours from Ancient Rome to custom tours we asked for. We were in awe with her depth of knowledge and story telling: wow!!! You do need to make sure you rest and are mentally prepared for the content she's to present. In our case, we wanted an immersive Catholic vacation and Kiron's complete understanding of the Catholic context hit the mark for us. To sum it all up, having Kiron be an integral part of our visit to Rome transformed it from a vacation to an experience. "
- Rick E., Portland, Oregon, USA. July 21, 2014
"Kiron was recommended by a friend. During three 1/2 days, she guided 11 of us (6 kids ages 14-8) through the main piazzas, the pantheon, the coliseum and forum areas, and the Vatican. We were thrilled at her ability to keep us moving through the crowds and always finding a great spot to view an important sight and explain it to us. We breezed through the lines that seemed miles long = it's worth having an official guide for this alone! The kids loved her and followed her like a magnet: her pacing and information was perfect. We learned so much! And, I'm remembering so much which means it was really well told. 5 stars and more for her amazing expertise, her flexibility, her great companionship throughout and her delightful manner that allowed us to eat at restaurants where she knew the owners, etc.. We loved every minute."
- Leslie F., Columbia, South Carolina, USA. Tour date: 11 July, 2014
"Kiron is extremely knowledgeable, articulate, fun, warm and accomodating. She made Rome come to life for our family. It was such a blessing to spend time with her, and we learned so much! I would not have wanted to see Rome any other way!"
