My name is Agnes Crawford. Originally from London, I graduated from Edinburgh University with a Master of Arts degree in Architectural History in 1999. I moved to Rome in 2000, married a Roman, and have lived here ever since.

I am a licensed guide with thirteen years’ experience.

I am passionately enthusiastic about the city, and believe that by Understanding Rome your visit will be both more meaningful, and much more enjoyable. As well as exploring Rome at your own pace, and focusing on what interests you, Understanding Rome is also about where to take your coffee, the best places for gelato, and where to shop. I will be delighted to help you feel as at home in Rome as I do.

Understanding Rome holds a 2014 Trip Advisor Certificate of Excellence and is recommended by The New York Times, The Daily Telegraph, Condé Nast Traveller’s Rome App, The National, Cathay Pacific’s Discovery Magazine, Forbes Travel Guide, and the Sydney Sun Herald.
