Hidden Gems of Rome - Walking Tour

(Please send me a message before the booking so I can confirm tickets availability) Ciao!! I'm Marisa, archaeologist and qualified tourist guide of Rome, specialist in historical and archaeological tours. Born and raised in Rome (a real local!), the love for my city is the reason why I've studied Classical Archaeology at University of Rome. As part of my training I've dug in the Roman Forum, my second house ;) I attended the Specialisation School in Archaeological Heritage, an Italian post-degree diploma, and in the meanwhile I started studying to become a professional tourist guide with a regular certification. Best job in the world for an archaeologist! I've created this profile to promote my in-depth archaeological walks for history lovers. MY QUALIFICATIONS I've passed the examination, published by the Provincia di Roma (Roman Provincial Administration): I'm a qualified tourist guide of Rome. So I'm 100% certified guide, and this is my full-time job. Please remember that in Italy we must be qualified to work as a guide! MY STYLE As an Archaeologist, my specialty is the Roman History and Ancient Architecture. I love to share my knowdlege and passion, my guided tours are suggested for history lovers. Each tour is a journey through the ages to discover the history of the Roman Empire and its majestic shrines, with me as your guide, ready to reply to all your questions. If you love history, walking and gelato. . I'm the perfect guide for you! I'm NOT the right guide for you if you want to see Rome in one day (impossible!) or just tick a box in a list! I walk slowly and I talk a lot :) QUALITY is my keyword, a tour with me is often described by clients as an "educational and pleasant experience". In addition to my credentials, I'm an open-minded, patient and friendly girl. I have a Roman, maybe weird, sense of humour! I like to consider myself not just a tourist guide, but a PERSONAL tourist guide because my clients are travellers, friends to help and to welcome. . not only a number in the big crowd of tourists. With me as your personal tourist guide, you'll have an historian and expert at your service, but especially a new Roman friend: we'll discover together famous sites but even local traditions, culture and food. MY AVAILABILITY Please write me a message BEFORE booking, so I can confirm my availability. Tickets may be sold out for the day requested or my calendar not updated. If this happens, I'll decline the booking.
