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.

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

    Thank 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!

    Francesca was INCREDIBLE! I was traveling with my 15-year-old son, who isn't necessarily the biggest history enthusiast, but Francesca made it come to life for him, and both he and I loved our two tours with her. We'll be back to tour with Francesca again!

    Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I’m especially happy to hear that your son enjoyed the tours! Making history come alive and engaging younger travelers is one of the parts of my job I enjoy the most. It was such a pleasure spending time with both of you, and I would absolutely love to see you again on your next trip to Rome. Warmly, Francesca

    A wonderful tour with a highly knowledgable guide. Some highlights of the Vatican beyond the typical tour.

    Thank you so much, Vadim! It was a pleasure exploring the Vatican with you, and I’m especially glad you enjoyed discovering some of its less familiar treasures beyond the usual highlights. I truly enjoyed our time together! Warm regards, Francesca
