Overview of your Rome tour

In-depth historical tour of one of the most interesting world - heritage archaeological area. These are 2 sites accessible with a combo ticket: the Roman Forum, and the Palatine hill. The Forum: Heart of the public life. Political, religious and military ceremonies where held here. The Palatine hill, Élite's residential area and the Emperor's as well as the Administrative center. It's still literally covered with the complex and imposing structures of the Imperial Palace. The first emperor Augustus had his residence there. The place offers great spectacular views. Do not be shy, I love questions! Interacting with your guide is a great way to absorb the centuries long roman history, to understand how the ancient romans used to live and what where their beliefs and obsessions.

Fabio is an excellent tour guide. His knowledge of the Roman Forum, the Palantine hill and the Colosseum was astounding. He is extremely well versed on all facets of Roman history. Do not hesitate to book a tour with Fabio.

We really appreciated Fabio's accommodation. He was already tightly booked so he suggested things we should see prior to our tour, which gave us more knowledge and made us appreciate his tour even more. Fabio is very knowledgeable about the information he provides and was able to make it equally as interesting for my wife who had not studied this part of history as I had. Thank Fabio for a great tour!

We were a party of 13, some of us visiting Rome for the first time and others who had been many times, but we all agreed that Fabio was a brilliant guide. He showed us the Forum and Palatine on one day and also gave us a 2 hour walking tour of the historic city centre. His friendly, approachable manner, wide ranging knowledge and perfect English make him the ideal Rome guide. He really brings all that incredible history alive. We really enjoyed our time with Fabio!
