Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! Well, some of you can! We can break you into smaller groups led by Katie and her team!
Yes! Although Katie's private tours have a max of 6 participants, she often leads school and university groups on guided market tastings, neighborhood immersions, and archeological visits. Reach out for details!
Each tour covers such a rich history that Katie can curate the places you visit and themes you cover based on your priorities and preferences. Upon booking, let us know your dietary restrictions and any special requests, then when you meet Katie, you can share any additional priorities and needs, then you’ll take off on your custom tour together.
Katie doesn’t offer off-the-shelf-tours so what you eat and drink together depends on your appetite, budget, and interests. You can certainly ball out if you wish, but Katie suggests grazing through Rome’s neighborhoods in a way that doesn’t break the bank, as the Romans do.
Absolutely! Katie creates curated Rome food itineraries, complete with restaurant bookings, based on a questionnaire that gives her all the intel she needs to design your perfect trip. Be sure to reach out well in advance so Katie has plenty of time to snag Rome’s top tables for you.
You bet! Katie offers virtual experiences and you can engage her to school you on Sicilian wines, coffee culture, focaccia making, or the topic of your choosing.
Oh yeah! Katie has a Rome City Guide page and a “Where to Eat” post, which are updated annually. Her Eater 38 guide is updated quarterly.
Katie occasionally pops over to the U.S. for book promotion (you can find upcoming events here) but her incredible colleagues Maurizio Di Franco, Maria Vicari, and Arianna Pasquini can show you around Rome! Maurizio also specializes in wine tastings and vineyard excursions, Maria can take you out of town to visit her native Tuscia (the Etruscan part of Lazio), and Arianna does the most fun and delicious cooking classes.
Yes! Katie does half-day tours of Venice, full-day tours of Naples, and 3-day-minimum tours of Sicily, Sardegna, and elsewhere. Get in touch for details!
Although Katie started her career providing archaeological and historical tours, she has scaled down her offerings in that department–though you can still engage her for the Field of Mars, Jewish Rome, and Augustus’ Rome. She has fantastic colleagues who can take you to the Colosseum, Borghese Gallery, Vatican, and Ostia Antica. Reach out for referrals!
Sure thing! Take a spin through these reviews on Trip Advisor!
