Susanna Perrucchini

Susanna Perrucchini is a professional tour guide and has ben working in the travel industry since 1990—first as a travel agent and then changing careers in 1995 to become an international tour operator.

But four walls could not contain her insatiable curiosity and desire for  traveling , so she started to work as a tour guide in 1999, initially with North American college and high school students, showing them iconic European destinations. Then she changed her specialization to a more mature audience , guiding them through Italy, Spain and Portugal. While she has worked for several international companies over the past two decades, she has mainly been guiding for Rick Steves’ Europe since 2006.

Her passion for languages inspired her to spend three months in the United States as well as nearly ten years in Spain (Madrid), becoming a real “aficionada” of Spanish food,  its traditions and its history. She speaks Italian (her mother tongue), English, Spanish, and a bit of Portuguese.

She currently lives in Rome with her daughter Sofia and  cat Neretto. In her free time, she loves to read (detective stories as much as art and history books), watch movies and television series, and take endless walks through the decadent beauty of Rome.

She is constantly planning (and dreaming of ) her next travel destination and tries to transmit her passion for Italy and Spain to all her travelers.
