Explore the Eternal City on a private tour with a professional Roman archaeologist! I am a licensed Tour Guide and I really love to share my knowledge and passion for Ancient Rome with others! Since 2003 I am working as field director on several scientific and emergency excavations downtown and in the province of Rome. As I have a deep knowledge of the Roman archaeological sites and museums, I think I would be a great tour guide for those who want to understand ancient Roman architecture, art and social life. It will be my pleasure to guide you to the world famous monuments - as the Colosseum, the Roman Forum and the Pantheon - or to show you hidden treasures less known - as Villa dei Quintili on the Appian Way, the Bath of Caracalla and Ostia Antica. Visit these archaeological sites with the eyes of a local archeologist and get to know the secrets and stories of every corner of Ancient Rome! I guarantee you will have an unforgettable experience! Please, note: all my tours can be customized. If you are interested in visiting a specific archaeological site, please send me a message and I will make an itinerary just for you! - Licenced tour guide - School of Specialization in Ancient Rome Archaeology Studies at the University of Salerno - M.A. in Lettere (dept. Classical Archaeology) cum laude at the University of Rome "La Sapienza" I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

The tour was phenomenal! Valentina is darling and very knowledgeable as she is an archaeologist and PhD. Not to mention she is so lovely and kind and we all enjoyed gaining a wealth of information and intrigue into Rome’s ancient history and that of the colosseum. We can’t wait for our next tour with Valentina!! Kim Carson

A great way to spend an evening in Rome: Walking around the Forums and Coliseum with an enthusiastic archaeologist who makes history come alive. Valentina was a great guide. I would highly recommend this tour. Five stars!!!

Valentina was absolutely amazing. Her tour of the forum was the highlight of our entire trip and we could not recommend her more highly. In fact, we have already raved about our incredible experience with her to several people. My husband is a history buff and our daughter an architecture student, and Valentina was incredibly knowledgeable and able to answer so many of the questions that we all had, providing deep insight with her expertise. She was super friendly, energetic and fun, and her enthusiasm in sharing her knowledge was contagious. I could not imagine a more wonderful way to tour the forum, and we were all grateful and considered ourselves very lucky to have her as our guide.
