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.

Overview of your Rome tour

Today leave the busy city center of Rome behind and enjoy a break through the Roman countryside, which inspired 19th-century travellers such as Byron, Goethe and Stendhal. On this extraordinary private tour of absolute beauty we take you on a journey through a unique landscape where nature, farmlands and ancient history meet. Join me on this tour and I will make you discover two of the most interesting aspects of roman civilization: catacombs and aqueducts! The catacombs are ancient underground tunnels excavated to be used like cemeteries. They can reach many kilometres of length and look like hidden cities, so you will appreciate the world of early christians and the beautiful frescoes that decorated their tombs. The second part of the tour will be dedicated to another roman masterpiece: the aqueducts. They were built to transport water from the mountains to the city and you will have the opportunity to visit with me some of the best preserved ones, understanding the secrets of ancient engineering!

Fabio was an attentive and informative guide, with a friendly personality. He was very patient on our first day in Rome, having arrived the same morning. This tour included the Catacombs of Saint Callistos, The Ancient Appian Way, and the Roman Aqueducts. We added in the Capuchin Crypt for an extra payment, which was very interesting and unique. Thanks for a great first day Fabio!

We could not have been more pleased with Fabio! His English is impeccable and coordination was perfect. His passion and warmth were overall exceptional. Most of all, he knows EVERYTHING. His mastery of every detail of Roman history and ability to articulate it with beautiful fluidity made us feel as if we were actually there. He could answer every single question and then more. If it means anything, we had teens with us who hung on every word he said! Honestly, one of the most knowledgeable guides ever!

Fabio is an excellent guide. He is a Roman, an archeologist and a guide so he is equally passionate about the sites and well informed. A+++++++++

Fabio was an amazing tour guide! He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and made Ancient Rome come to life for us. He arranged luxury transportation for us like he said, and he was thoroughly communicative. He even gave us a bonus lesson in Italian. We would definitely tour with him again!

The Appian Way with catacombs and aquaducts tour was amazing! Seeing all this ancient history that you have only read about is so awe inspiring. And seeing it all with terrific explanations from Fabio P. makes it even more so. I highly recommend this tour!
