Your personal Rome insider. Trip preparation, on-the-ground concierge, corporate travel and expatriation services — delivered with the human intelligence no algorithm can replicate.
I'm Bert — a Rome-based consultant who helps travellers, families and organisations get the most out of the city. Trilingual in English, French and Italian, I combine deep local knowledge with genuine care for the people I work with.
Rome rewards those who know where to look — and punishes those who don't plan ahead. I bridge that gap, offering the kind of insight that only comes from living here, speaking the language, and knowing the people who matter.
From a quick 60-minute trip prep, to coordinating a corporate retreat at Villa Borghese, to settling a family into Roman life — I work the way friends work for each other. Privately, directly, with care.
"Rome doesn't reveal herself to everyone. She whispers her secrets only to those who arrive with curiosity, patience, and someone who already speaks her language."
Whether you arrive for a weekend, settle for a season, bring your team or move your life — there's a service shaped around it.
A 1-on-1 video session before you travel. We build a Rome plan that fits your interests, pace, and group.
Already in Rome? I become your local point of contact — real help, real time, real human.
Off-sites, incentives, retreats, board visits. End-to-end logistics so your organisation focuses on the experience.
Moving to Rome? I help you and your family land softly — admin, schools, neighbourhoods, networks.

Everyone warns you Rome is dead in August. They’re not entirely wrong — the Romans themselves leave. But that’s precisely what makes it interesting. The tourists who stay get a version of the city that doesn’t exist at any other time of year: quieter, slower, occasionally surreal.
No forms. No bots. Just a direct line to Bert across four channels — pick whatever's easiest. I answer the same day.
