Guide #56905
I'm a Licensed Roman Guide with a background in Architecture, but, first of all, I'm a traveller like you! I'm able to put myself in your shoes and suggest the best photo spots, since I'm a Travel Photographer as well! With me, you'd be able to discover highlights and hidden gems of Rome; I offer both tours in the city centre and outside of the city walls. My visits are more architecture-oriented, but I like to give a comprehensive overview, from historical insights to food tips. I love admiring narrow lanes while I'm having a gelato! I was born and raised in the Eternal City and, after experiencing life in the UK and in Germany, I'm back to my roots again. After getting a Master's Degree in Architecture, I've realized that the everyday life of an Architect didn't fit neither my expectations nor the artistic and exciting topics I studied at my University. Therefore, step by step, I've moved to the travel field, where I truly belong. In 2014 I inaugurated my Sustainable-Travel and Photography website where I share my reportages with a taste for the unusual, from Rome to the Polar Regions (Arctic and Antarctica)! I love going beyond the surface and capturing the soul of places. This project gave me such good vibes, that I understood that it was time for a change. A couple of years later, I've gained my Tour Guide's license and now I'm here to help you create wonderful memories. Can't wait to share Rome with you! - I hold a Master's Degree in Architecture from "La Sapienza University of Rome", but I have also studied in Germany (Bauhaus Weimar and TU Darmstadt). - I am a licensed guide and I have got both the Vatican and the Colosseum pass. - I have collaborated with Nikon, Lonely Planet and Financial Times! - I have published a travel book in Italian about Antarctica, called Antarktikós I don't offer pick-up by car, but I can arrange an official driver for you, if necessary.

Great tour off the beaten path. Valeria was a spectacular guide. Very knowledgeable. The whole family loved it.
Valeria was amazing. We had 4 teenage kids as well and Valeria was able to keep us all engaged throughout the entire tour. We finished feeling highly knowledgeable!
Valeria is a gem. We met on a very hot day and she was accommodating and easy to be with. She made sure we were comfortable the entire time and shared her incredible knowledge of Roman architecture and history. We learned so much and thoroughly enjoyed the tour!
What a wonderful experience. Valeria's perspective as an architect added so much to the tour. She is very knowledgeable about the area and the history. In addition, she respected any limitations we had so we were able to cover everything in the time we had. I look forward to our next visit to Rome and visiting other parts of the City with Valeria. We highly recommend...
