I still remember the first time I saw ancient statues, I was in the Vatican Museum and I was a child. Those marble giants were not just silent witness of their time but it seemed like I could hear their voices talking to me from the past. Was it that a decisive moment in my life? Probably it was! I graduated in Art History at Rome University and while waiting to find a "real" job I started to work as a guide and, little by little, it became my job! I've been a tourist guide since then which means …. a bit! I enjoy what I do and statues haven't stop whispering their stories to me, that, together with studies and experience, enables me to explain to you things about Rome and its history in a way you could not imagine. If we'll meet in Roma I'm ready to show you my Roma and share my knowledge with you! From the Vatican, to the Colosseum, passing through the Borghese Gallery, Caravaggio, Trastevere, Jewish Ghetto and amazing Italian food and wine, I am at your service and I love answering my guests questions and I can customize my tours for your needs. You're in good hands with me, and I look forward to meeting you! Are you ready to follow me? Ciao a tutti! Hi everybody! I live and work in Roma as a tourist guide: - Art History graduated (Tor Vergata University) - Licensed tour guide of Roma -I can prepare for you customized tours (full day or half day) with luxury private car and driver If my calendar appears unavailable, please contact me anyway. I can organize private transportation by private car and driver. I provide pick-up and drop-off at the hotel or port via the driver. I’ll meet you at the meeting point. For easy communication on the day of the tour, I suggest downloading WhatsApp on your smartphone.

Overview of your Rome tour

Together with the Colosseum and Palatine visit, right in the heart of ancient Rome, we will discover the San Clemente's Basilica. This very ancient church preserves mosaics and Middle Age furniture among the most beautiful in Rome. Even more amazing are his dungeon! The church was built - twice - on top of some Roman buildings and the archeological digs, will allow us to penetrate underground and discover what is left of the old houses, to understand the complex variety of the town of Rome. Consequently we will have deeper understanding of the Colosseum archeological treasures, of its impressive beauty and structural modernity. The place loved above all others by the ancient, where they would encourage gladiators. Roman Forum beauty, whit its columns, triumphal arches, still standing buildings will lead us one step after the other in the Romans daily life and up to the Palatine hill, house of the Romans Emperors. With this tour you can have deeper understanding of ancient rome, my beloved Rome!

This was the 2nd tour we booked with Patrizia in Rome. Once again she selected an excellent, easy to find location to meet to begin our tour. Don’t hesitate booking with Patrizia for this tour which we particularly enjoyed. The tour was not rushed and we had plenty of time to spend at all 3 locations. Her knowledge of Ancient Rome is extensive and helped us understand how it used to be and our day was enhanced with her guidance. Always considerate of our needs she took the time to answer any questions we had and to ensure we understood. I look forward to coming back to Rome in the future and I would definitely contact Patrizia again to be my guide.

Basilica di S. Clemente & the Colosseum were great, very interesting! Patrizia did a fantastic job of maintaining the balance between an informative/educational tour and a fun tour. Thoroughly enjoyed spending time with her. Thanks, Patrizia!

Patrizia was Fantastic! We met her and from the first moment she was friendly and welcoming. Our Colosseum and Forum experience exceeded our expectations She was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic I had been here before but she added so much Both my BF and I agreed this was worth the money and truly the only way to experience the ruins. Without a guide (and particularly with Patrizia) you will miss so much. We highly recommend Patrizia. She's the best!
