On March 26, 1979, I celebrated my birthday on the train on my way to Rome with my gymnasium high school classmates. It was the beginning of what would become a long series of visits to the Eternal City. But I didn’t know that then. What I did know: I was utterly and utterly blown away by the beauty, atmosphere and lifestyle of this Mediterranean city. I wanted to come back, and back and back, and I succeeded as a university student and PhD candidate. In 1997 this eventually resulted in a permanent residence.<\/p>\n
Now I work with great enthusiasm as a guide for Dutch-speaking tourists. I take great pleasure in conveying the beauty and deeper meaning of the monuments of Rome. I would like to give you a fantastic time, which you will remember with great pleasure for a long time to come. In between the information, compelling stories and hidden meanings, I also bring you the sense of beauty and the sacredness in art and architecture.<\/p>\n
With anecdotes, reconstruction images, myths, magic and secrets, history comes to life colorfully before your eyes.<\/p>\n
My tours are an experience, also for myself!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n
