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.

Fantastic Tour...if you want to see Rome and learn the history, no better way than with someone who has archeological experience. Fabio has a great personality, enthusiastic and we throughly enjoyed his company. You cannot go wrong with this tour.
Roman R.United Kingdom
I retained Fabio over 3 ½ days, including 1 day in Tivoli, during my recent visit to Rome. Rome is popular with much to see and do. Planning was essential. I found Fabio to be the perfect companion and invaluable. His interests in archaeology, qualifications, professionalism and intimate knowledge of Rome, provided me with deep insights of ancient Rome, the emergence and rise of Christianity, and present day traditions. He fine-tuned my itinerary to make my visit so memorable. Good, safe pair of hands.
Shellie M.United States
Fabio was an amazing guide for a whirlwind tour of Rome in a day. He was energetic, knowledgeable, and entertaining. I have toured the Sistine Chapel five times and Fabio provided the most thorough and meaningful overview I have heard. Being an archeologist, he was the perfect guide for the Colosseum. He was also flexible and allowed us to tweak the itinerary.
Bill M.United States
Fabio was extremely knowledgeable and provided detailed information about all of the various places we visited. We especially appreciated the explanation of the Sistine Chapel just before we entered it since it made us appreciate everything we saw that much more. His breadth of knowledge is very wide since he also provided equal amounts of detailed explanations about other parts of the Vatican Museums as well as the Forum and Colosseum. We enjoyed our tour and we highly recommend him.
Tammy C.
In Rome, as we had a limited time, Fabio expertly guided us through the Vatican and Coliseum with efficiency but without missing the special details which were unforgettable! His knowledge of archeology added such an interesting perspective, and he had some great tips for exploring the city on our own.
