Hello and welcome! First of all I want to thank you for visiting my homepage! Now let me introduce myself! My name is Maria Rosaria and I have been a tour guide of Rome for more than 20 years! When I was in school I studied Latin, Greek and Art history. My Art history teacher was so passionate that he passed all his love for art along to me. At university I studied languages. My passion for art, archaeology and languages led me to become a professional and inspired tour guide. Here you will find my best suggestions to discover and fall in love with Rome! But remember that together we can customize your experience creating tailored-made tours! For example we can visit the Vatican museums with secret places normally closed to regular public like the Bramante staircase and the Niccoline chapel, a unique experience away from the crowds! We can follow in the footsteps of Peter and Paul in Rome by visiting the Mamertine Prison where they were imprisoned, the little church of Domine Quo Vadis on the Appian Way where Peter met Jesus. But also the Abbey of the Three Fountains where Paul was beheaded, without missing the two major basilicas of Saint Peter and Saint Paul Outside the Walls where the two saints, patrons of Rome, are buried. We can visit the archaeological park of the Colosseum with a Full Experience ticket allowing us to see the arena level, the secret passage of the Emperors and the hidden gems of the Palatine hill and of the Roman forum! To have a deep and widespread knowledge of Roman life and habits I recommend a visit to Ostia antica, the city port of Rome, the little Pompei near Rome! Strolling around the remnants of the ancient city we can learn about shops, baths, mills, and homes. Or the archaeological museum of Palazzo Massimo to see frescoes, mosaics, bronze and marble statues like the Boxer at rest and the Discobolus that were decorating public and private buildings in ancient Rome. Rome was made great by Renaissance and Baroque famous artists such as Raphael, Michelangelo, Bernini, Caravaggio. They left their masterpieces in private collections such as those of Borghese gallery or Doria Pamphili gallery. We can arrange a private tour of the Colonna gallery to discover not only the art masterpieces, but also Princess Isabella's private apartment! So, it’s time to make a choice and meet you in Rome! 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

This walking tour is dedicated to unveil how Romans were spending their free time. We'll visit the Colosseum, the most famous place for entertainment where we had hunts, gladiator fights and mythological representations. Also, we'll cover the Circus Maximus, the biggest race track of the Roman empire used for chariot races, and the famous Caracalla's Bath, one of the best preserved thermal complex in antiquity. The baths, named so due to being built by Emperor Caracalla in the third century, were real multi-functional facilities frequented by both men and women, who had separate sections. Walking through the remains of the Baths you'll be impressed by the size of the still standing walls and the beautiful mosaic floors still on site. We'll also discuss the meaning of what was described by Seneca in a witty letter about living above a noisy Roman bath house: ''Here I am with a babel of noise going on all about me…". Now imagine every kind of sound that can make one weary of one's ears!
