I'm Francesca Maria C., your private tour guide in Rome
Guide #7811
Hello, I'm Francesca Maria, and I am an Archaeologist and Qualified Tour Guide in Rome and Vatican. I've a bachelor's degree in Conservation of Cultural Heritage and a master degree in Cultural and Archaeological Heritage at the University of Rome. I was born and raised here, so I am 100% local! Before becoming a tour guide I was working as an archaeologist in several archaeological sites. My archaeological background brings a unique perspective to my walking tours of Rome. With me you will discover more about this beautiful city, its art and history, the fascinating historical sites, the hidden gems, Romans and the Roman way of life. I can customize tours according to your interests. I specialize in private tours for small groups of all ages, including families with younger children. I have children myself, and I am happy to work with children and families as well as adults. My tours are all private, so the visit will be exclusively for you and can be tailored to your wishes and physical abilities. I will be happy to help you to organize the perfect guided tour. I will be your local friend in Rome, and give you suggestions on restaurants, shopping, exhibitions and things to do. I look forward to bringing Rome to life for you! *Bachelor's Degree in Cultural Heritage, Archaeology *Master in Cultural/Archaeological Resources *Qualified TOURIST GUIDE (Rome) I'm not a driver. I provide walking tours. If needed, we can take cabs or I can arrange for a separate car or minivan and driver.

Great tour with Francesca! I learned a ton, and thanks to her maneuvering and guidance, I felt I was able to see and appreciate the masterpieces in this wonderful museum in a new way. (My husband and I also had a wonderful tour of Ostia Antica with Francesca.)

This was a terrific tour of a unique destination full of fascinating sights and history. The area is huge and the terrain uneven, but Francesca took pains to make it very doable for me (age 77) and my husband (who walks with a cane). She was very enjoyable to spend time with, and when she learned about my fondness for gelato, she went out of the way to take us to a shop...

If you want a guide with deep, personal knowledge of both Roman history and the science of the archeology being done to study it, Francesca is it! She laid out 1000 years of history in a comprehensible way, and brought pictures and illustrations to help us envision what the Coliseum, Roman Forum, etc would have looked like for the people actually living and working there....

Really excellent guide. Francesca organized the tour about my limitations with a broken foot and scooter. I still saw a lot!

September 2026Thank you so much, Michelle! It was a pleasure meeting you, and I’m so glad we were able to adapt the tour so that you could still see and enjoy so much of the Vatican despite your broken foot. I hope you’re recovering quickly, and thank you again for your lovely review!
