All my guided tours of Rome are private tours, exclusively for your small group of family, friends, partners, colleagues.
About me, Mayta Munson: American, born and raised in Chicago, with a B.A. in Art History and Archaeology from Washington University, St Louis, and graduate studies in Art History (M.A. program) as a Teaching Fellow at the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia.
A long-time resident of Rome, I took and passed the Rome tour guide exam in 1999.
For me, this was the chance of a lifetime.
As a licensed professional tour guide of Rome, one of the few Americans to possess the tour guide license for Rome & Province, I decided to hang out my shingle on Internet with eternaltourist.com in order to offer private small group tours of Rome.
How do I make the difference?
First, I feel extremely fortunate to be able to live in Rome in the midst of so much beauty and history. From this point of view, Rome is truly an overwhelming city if you are sensitive to it, if you open your spirit to it.
Although I have lived in Rome for many years, this feeling of being in such a special place is renewed in me daily as I pass the Roman places that remain eternally beautiful.
I also feel extremely fortunate to be a tour guide in Rome and to be able to introduce visitors, first-timers and returnees, to the incomparable beauty and treasures of the world's most historic city.
As we visit together Rome's top tourist attractions or the little neighborhoods and byways of Rome's historic center on guided tours made to measure, I hope I will be able to transmit not just my knowledge, but also my passion and enthusiasm for Rome to you.
This website, eternaltourist.com, is a small enterprise conceived to devote special care and attention to your Rome private tours and to provide superior personal tour guide services in Rome.
I live and work in the heart of Rome's historic center.
I reply to you from one of Rome's oldest and most characteristic neighborhoods, not from another part of Italy or another part of the world.
I answer your requests personally and conduct all guided tours of Rome personally, to assure you have the best possible experience of Rome and its treasures.
I do not operate a Rome tour guide service and look forward to your inquiry and to being your private tour guide in Rome.
If I am already booked on your tour dates in Rome, I can, at your request, find you a trusted and experienced licensed Rome tour guide colleague to be with you.
In this case, I will refer you to a colleague I know will be able to provide you the same high standard of service for your private tour of Rome.
A tour of Rome with a licensed tour guide does make the difference.
Rome's licensed tour guides have been subjected to the scrutiny of an official exam and have been certified by an official board to perform tour guide services.
Our tour guide license is an assurance of quality. It tells you that we know what we're talking about.
I will give you an entertaining and informative visit, and also a visit I hope will prove special to you, respecting history and respecting your intelligence, on private tours of Rome, the Vatican and Rome's countryside designed to your wishes.
I am here, at your service, with eternaltourist.com, to make your visit to our special city of Rome a special experience.
