Tour Guide recommendation in Venice and Rome

I will be visiting Venice and Rome in mid-October, 2024. Can anyone recommend a private tour guide in either place? Any recommendations would be very appreciated.

Thank you, Denise

+1 on Sonia Tavoletta in Rome. My wife and I hired Sonia in Rome, October 2023, for the Roman Forum & Colosseum. She met us at the Colosseo Metro stop (we were late), ran us into the Colosseum and got us past any ticket-takers who would want to check our entry times. Deep knowledge, excellent English, wonderful friendly person. Highly recommend.

Sorry. can't help you with Venice though, we did not hire a tour guide there. (But if you are in Siena, strongly recommend Anna Piperato, https://www.sienaitalytours.com/ - we hired her in Siena also in October 2023.

I so appreciate your recommendations. I have booked with Sonia in Rome and I am waiting to hear back from Venice tour guides.

Any additional recommendations are appreciated.

Also, if you have a moment, please share your favorite sites or tours in Rome and/or Venice.

It has been such a pleasure hearing from you.

Thank you,
Denise
