Guide #36622
Ciao! My name is Valerio, I'm 36 years old I live in Rome and I'm an archeologist. I graduated in Archaeology in 2015 and in the late 2017 I got a Master Degree in Science of Archeology and Methodology of Archeological Research. I passed my exam to become a tour guide in July 2018, I can legally exercise the profession on national level, and I have also the license as tour leader. I was born and raised in Rome, and I chose to be an archeologist at a young age, fascinated by the work that I saw everytime I went in the center of my city, by the huge buildings thousands of years old and the incredible history behind them. That feeling of pride and luck and fascination, is still the same, even today. With my friends I found the passion of telling the history and the secrets behind the Colosseum, the Imperial Forums, what did we archeologists do on a dig site, and I found them so interested in what I was telling them to make me ask myself: why do I not make this a profession? I mean, I enjoy telling stories, I studied hard to do so, so why not? So I became a Tour Guide, and I enthusiastically lead people who choose me as their guide on the same paths that fascinated me, assured that the feelings that pushed me to study archeology will be felt by those same people I'm leading. Rome has so much to offer, from the Roman to the Dark Ages, Renaissance, Contemporary and Modern times, and I can't wait to tell you, my dear reader, what there's to know about the Eternal City. •Master Degree in Science of Archeology and Methodology of Archeological Research (110/110 cum laude), University of Roma Tre La Sapienza, Rome, Italy (2017) •Graduation in History and Conservation of Artistic and Archeological Patrimony, University of Roma Tre La Sapienza, Rome, Italy (2015) •Tour Guide license earned in Bari, Italy 2018 •Tour Leader license earned in Florence, Italy 2018 •High School Diploma "Liceo Classico Orazio", Rome, Italy (2005-2006) I'm not a driver but I can arrange private transportation if you require

A great tour was provided our group of 7 by Valerio. He is a very knowledgeable person having worked at the site several years ago. We enjoyed his insights on where to put our focus. Inside the Colusseum, he stopped and gave us a 15 minute presentation of life in that period that was outstanding. Throughout the tour, all of us enjoyed his wry sense of humor, especially...

Valerio gave us a very fun and informative tour. He knew the background well and shared unique insights and perspectives. We absolutely enjoyed the whole area more with him guiding us through than we would have in our own or in a large group.

I took two tours with Valerio, and both were excellent. I selected Valerio as a guide because I am deeply interested in archaeology and into the history of the ancient Roman Empire; I wanted someone who could further deepen my understanding with archaeological expertise, to get into the weeds with me on technical detail. Valerio did an excellent job on all counts; ...
