"We invite one another not barely to eat and drink but to eat and drink together" Plutarch I was born in Rome on the same day of Julius Caesar! I have a Degree and a Master in Art History; as an official Vatican guide I attended many courses by the Holy See concerning their collections and History of the Church. I keep studying and researching about Art. As I became a guide I was the youngest…now I am not the oldest! My work is my passion: every day is a new day and every guest a new guest. I like exploring Rome, wandering trough the town with my clients following their personalities, needs, wishes…. I like creating personalized tours, from the classical visits for "first comers" as literary tours, food tours or …"mood tours" following the inspiration of the day… My goal is to share with you my love for Rome, Art and "slow living" and make you feel at home even if you come from far far away…. Private licensed guide. Degree and a Master in Art History. Official Vatican guide, I attended many courses by the Holy See concerning their collections and History of the Church. I can prepare for you customized tours (full day or half day) with luxury private car and driver 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.

Overview of your Rome tour

One of the most fascinating experiences in Rome is a visit to the ancient Christian catacombs. These underground cemeteries, carved into volcanic rock, stretch for miles like a labyrinth outside the city walls, respecting ancient Roman laws. Abandoned during the Middle Ages and rediscovered in the 19th century, the catacombs offer a unique glimpse into early Christian history. With a member of the internal staff guiding us, we’ll safely navigate this mysterious underworld where stories of faith and resilience come to life. Afterward, we’ll step onto the historic Appian Way, Rome’s iconic cobblestone road. As we stroll through this peaceful park, we’ll feel the echoes of ancient times beneath our feet. Our journey concludes with a visit to one of Rome’s greatest engineering marvels: the Aqueducts, a testament to the ingenuity of Roman civilization. Don’t miss this unforgettable adventure through history and hidden wonders—join me!
