Ciao! My name is Romina, and I am a licensed guide with a degree in Ancient Greek and Roman archaeology and art history. I was born and raised in Le Marche, a region of central Italy. I graduated from the University of Perugia in 2000 and then moved to Rome for the love of my husband. I started working as an expert guide for school groups at the excavations of Ostia Antica, a place I consider my paradise. This experience led me to become an enthusiastic, qualified guide of Rome. I love art and history, but also food and wine. I adore ancient ruins, walls, and bricks—that’s why Rome is my perfect place. I love its monuments, churches with unexpected art treasures, Baroque squares, museums, and archaeological sites, as well as its narrow streets and lesser-known corners, its gardens, and its more modern neighborhoods. I never get tired of the “Eternal City”; I never stop learning—Rome always has something new to reveal. I would like to share my passion with everyone who wants to experience it. My tours are suitable both for tourists visiting Rome for the first time and for those who have already been here. In addition, if you would like to experience the beautiful surroundings of Rome, I offer tours to Tivoli, ancient Ostia, and the Roman Castles. I am used to working with both groups and private individuals. I am very flexible and friendly with adults and children. All the tours I guide are customizable. Get in touch with me, and let’s talk about it! Qualifications and Experience - Degree in Greek and Roman archaeology and art history, University of Perugia - 5 years of experience as a didactic guide in Ostia Antica - 17 years of experience as an officially licensed guide of Rome and its surroundings. 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

Ostia antica is a quiet and large sized archaeological site, only 20 miles far from Rome, reachable with either private or public transportation. It was a port city, the ancient river port of Rome, settled at the mouth of the blond Tiber. It was a very densely populated town and now there are 2000 thousand years old massive ruins surrounded by lovely nature. If you want to experience a real, unique journey into history and you want to know more about the daily life of a Roman of the second-century then come with me and walk down the streets of Ostia Antica, cross the squares and jump into a shop, get inside Roman baths and private houses, visit the theatre, templesand shrines. . Since Ostia antica's site is located near a pretty medieval village, after the tour you can have lunch in a local restaurant.
