Hi there! I'm Barbara, born and raised in Rome, just a few feet from the Vatican City, I love to travel the world and explore different cultures! With a degree in Architecture and a master degree in Historical Building Restoration, I have been studying architecture and art history for all my life, working for several years to the restoration of some of the most prestigious palaces in Rome. I decided to become a Tour Guide to share my lifetime experience in Rome with people from all over the world. I'm really proud to unravel the amazing stories hidden behind every alley and square of the Eternal city, bring back to life the outstanding Roman ruins, show the masterpieces made by the most important artists working for the powerful Popes and communicate my passion and true love for my Hometown, like only locals can do! All of my tours are private and can be tailored according to you interests and wishes, so just give me the details and I will create the perfect tour just for you! I hope to welcome you soon to Rome. . . A presto!

Overview of your Rome tour

Enjoy the queen of the Roman roads, the Appian way aka Regina viarum in this half day walking tour. We will walk the ancient cobblestones discovering the most famous monuments along the way, starting with the imposing mausoleum of Cecila Metella, symbol of the Appian Way, belonging to one of the most powerful families of the Republican Rome, the Caetani fortress, a medieval castle built by the family of Pope Bonifax VIII and the amazing Villa of the emperor Maxentius. We will end the tour visiting the Catacombs of St. Sebastian, the cemetery "ad catacumbas", near the cavity, that gave the name to all the underground cemeteries. Ready to explore the Appian way with me?
