My name is Rosanna and I was born and raised in Rome. Since my childhood I love art, history and travel, so I took tourism at high school. Then I moved to London, Paris and Seville to learn the languages and the culture and traditions of those countries. Back home I started my career as tour manager and I passed the exam issued by the Provincia di Roma to become an official Tourist Guide. I have been working as a guide in Rome for 15 years and I love to show to Italians and foreign visitors the Eternal City. I work with couples, families, groups and I am very glad to tell stories and make people familiar with the Italian art, culture, history and food. Every day is different thank to my guests enthusiasm because they want to see, hear and feel the astonishing art and history of this unique City, and discover the hidden corners. I can offer tailor-made tours in Rome with golf cars, van, bicycles and I would love to show you the surrounding villages such as Tivoli, Ostia Antica and the Roman Castles. I also speak French and Spanish and I am very flexible, so ask for me and let's organize a visit.

Overview of your Rome tour
The best way to experience the glory of the ancient Roman Empire is by visiting the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill. Entering this area feels like stepping back in time, imagining the people who built the Colosseum and the excitement of gladiatorial games with wild animals, surrounded by cheering spectators. Next, we explore the Forum, the heart of Rome’s political and administrative life, where emperors ruled and important ceremonies took place, marking the start of “all roads.” Walking among the ruins, you’ll sense the power and sophistication of the ancient city. Finally, we visit the Palatine Hill, home to emperors for centuries, overlooking the Forum and the Tiber River. This private tour brings the drama, history, and grandeur of Ancient Rome vividly to life, making the past unforgettable.
