Hello, my name is Fabio (or Fabius if you like!) and I'm a tourist guide in Rome. I was born and grown up in this wonderful city and I started this job in 2010 because I like culture and the possibility to stay in contact with people coming from every part of the world. I am a licensed tour guide but also an archaeologist: in fact I have a master in Archaeological Sciences and I continue to collaborate with the Archaeological Superintendence of Rome by publishing the new researches we are doing. I have a large experience with private and small group tours, including families with kids and schools. I like to explain every kind of monument or attraction, including museums, churches, parks and panoramas, but I am also a great fan of our typical food tradition and I can deepen this interesting aspect of italian lifestyle! I am a licensed guide in Rome with a degree and an Master in Archeological Sciences. I collaborate with the Archaeological Superintendence of Rome by publishing the new researches we are doing. I have no limitations of any kind and I can access any place of cultural interest and guide you in any of the languages I am proficient in. Even if my calendar shows no availability, feel free to get in touch. I can organize private transportation by private car and driver. Just to clarify, I only arrange hotel or port pick-up and drop-off through the driver. I will meet you at the meeting point. For easy communication on the day of the tour, I suggest downloading WhatsApp on your smartphone.

Overview of your Rome tour

This is one of the most complete Vatican tours I can offer you. The tour includes the Sistine Chapel, to enjoy the wonderful paintings representing the Stories from the Old an the New Testament and Michelangelo's masterpieces (Genesis and Last Judgement). The Basilica of St. Peter will be the last stop on our visit: one of the most important churches in the world, hosting precious works of art such as the Piety by Michelangelo. I can offer you a great experience of the Vatican City, I am a true lover and connoisseur of art, and you cannot miss this tour, the Vatican Museums offer a unique collection of masterpieces!

Fabio was phenomenal. I highly recommend he and Tours by Locals. We were a party of 6 with a wheelchair. Fabio was very prompt, knowledgeable and communicated very well in English. He was attentive and sensitive to our needs and very flexible. He provided excellent recommendations for traditional Italian pizza and gelato. Thank you for a meaningful experience! Honest, I cannot say enough good! Without reservation, my group highly recommends Fabio and Tours by Locals
