Ciao! My name is Romina, and I am a licensed guide with a degree in Ancient Greek and Roman archaeology and art history. I was born and raised in Le Marche, a region of central Italy. I graduated from the University of Perugia in 2000 and then moved to Rome for the love of my husband. I started working as an expert guide for school groups at the excavations of Ostia Antica, a place I consider my paradise. This experience led me to become an enthusiastic, qualified guide of Rome. I love art and history, but also food and wine. I adore ancient ruins, walls, and bricks—that’s why Rome is my perfect place. I love its monuments, churches with unexpected art treasures, Baroque squares, museums, and archaeological sites, as well as its narrow streets and lesser-known corners, its gardens, and its more modern neighborhoods. I never get tired of the “Eternal City”; I never stop learning—Rome always has something new to reveal. I would like to share my passion with everyone who wants to experience it. My tours are suitable both for tourists visiting Rome for the first time and for those who have already been here. In addition, if you would like to experience the beautiful surroundings of Rome, I offer tours to Tivoli, ancient Ostia, and the Roman Castles. I am used to working with both groups and private individuals. I am very flexible and friendly with adults and children. All the tours I guide are customizable. Get in touch with me, and let’s talk about it! Qualifications and Experience - Degree in Greek and Roman archaeology and art history, University of Perugia - 5 years of experience as a didactic guide in Ostia Antica - 17 years of experience as an officially licensed guide of Rome and its surroundings. 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.

This is a historical walk in some of the most iconic and scenic places of the wonderful city of Rome to discover its history from origins to modern times. I start from the Colosseum, the largest ancient amphitheater in the world and one of the seven modern wonders. I will get you in the arena, a really evocative place from where people can admire the building and fully experience it I will guide you up to the second level while looking into the whole story of this fascinating place. The tour goes on by heading to the rest of the archaeological area and visiting the impressive and massive ruins variously reused of what once was the Roman forum and Palatine hill. The Forum was the very first place where the Romans administrated the city. The Palatine was the site of the early settlement and then the location of the Palace of Caesars. I will take you to panoramic places to overlook amazing views.
Romina was great! She had a lot of knowledge about the Colosseum and Palatine Hill sites. She even had a book and a large map to help illustrate things, which came in very handy trying to visualize how the buildings looked on Palatine Hill. She pointed out a few restaurants to try in Monti after the tour. Would definitely recommend a tour with her!
Our Colosseum tour with Romina was excellent. She arrived on time at the meeting place and was extremely knowledgeable throughout the tour. Romina did a great job prioritizing the most important areas and didn’t waste time on spots that were less interesting to us. Highly recommended.
Romina was awesome. So knowledgeable about the entire history of each location we visited. She was able to navigate the sights while avoiding all the crowds - not something we could have done on our own! Perfect tour for the limited time we had in Rome.
We had an incredible day with Romina during our Colosseum tour. There is so much history to explain over 2000 years. Romina is very kind, warm and has incredible knowledge. We cannot imagine having this experience without her. She thought of every detail bringing us images to explain what things looked like to complete the historical lesson. There is so much there- it is unbelievable. We cannot imagine having to try to navigate that ourselves. You will have a an incredible experience with Romina.
Great tour with Romina. Some of our group had toured the Colosseum and Forum before and others had not, but everyone learned something new and exciting. At the most basic level, having a tour guide like Romina ensures all of the planning details are covered - you don't have to worry about tickets, etc. Romina then took time to explain details and find views that allowed for best observation of what was being explained. The Forum and associated buildings are such a big space and there is so much to see, and Romina brought it all to life for us. We would add that Romina is just a thoughtful person who truly cares that everyone is getting what they need. Thank you so much!!
Romina is very knowledgeable, relaxed and friendly. She is also such a genuine and nice person. We enjoyed the day very much with her and I would clearly recommend her as a guide in Rome!
