Born in Ukraine but deeply connected to Rome, I have spent most of my life in the Eternal City. My journey began with a degree in Economics, but I quickly realized that a desk job wasn’t my calling. Instead, my heart belonged to movement, culture and exploration. One of my greatest passions was folk dance, which not only allowed me to express myself but also opened the door to travel. Discovering new places and cultures ignited a desire to see more of the world, and when I arrived in Italy, I fell in love—with its art, history, food and warm-hearted people. My first job as a concierge in a five-star hotel brought me into close contact with travellers eager to explore Rome. I loved sharing insider tips on the best restaurants, hidden gems, and must-see sights. This experience deepened my curiosity and inspired me to dive even further into the city’s incredible past. Eager to expand my knowledge, I pursued studies in art history, attended specialized courses, and in 2016, I proudly earned my official tour guide license. Today, my passion for Rome continues to grow. I never stop learning, exploring, and sharing the city’s magic with those who visit. Every tour is more than just a walk through history—it’s a journey through the heart and soul of Rome, seen through the eyes of someone who fell in love with it, just like I know you will. 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 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.

Explore Ancient Rome landmarks, including the Arch of Constantine!
Overview of your Rome tour
On this tour, we'll visit the Colosseum, one of the oldest amphitheatres in the world, built in the first century yet it's still standing today! I truly hope it remains alive forever, since it is one of the marvels of Roman construction! Structures like this are few around the world, so just as in ancient times, it continues to draw a staggering number of visitors. The Colosseum has witnessed gladiator fights, abandonment, looting, earthquakes and still captivates visitors with its history. Next to it is the Roman Forum, which we'll also visit. It was the centre of Ancient Rome, where the most important decisions of the Ancient World were made. As the heart of Imperial Rome, it's now a place from where we'll get to admire the remains of ancient temples. It is also where one of the most famous dictators, Julius Caesar, was cremated. -For security reasons, all visitors must be checked with metal detectors. -Only small bags/backpacks are permitted (size 40x35x15). Long umbrellas are not permitted.
