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.

    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...

    Excellent tour of the Jewish Quarter, Tiber Island and Trastevere. Fascinating history brought to life by Valeria. I would highly recommend this tour.

    Valeria provided us with an outstanding walking tour that introduced us to the Pantheon and many other spots that we had missed in short prior visits to Rome. Her knowledge of the historical layers upon which Rome is built was wonderful. She pointed us to a non-touristic coffee shop, gelato shop and restaurant. In Rome, that is a gift beyond compare.
