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

We can start from the Colosseum and visit the world's most important arena, which housed the cruel gladiatorial games. We'll see the school where the gladiators lived and trained, and the spot where the emperors would watch the spectacles. After the visit, walking along the ancient ruins of the roman forums, we reach the very centre of Rome, Piazza Venezia, dominated by the massive "Vittoriano", the Altar of the Fatherland. The walk will continue to the Pantheon (inside) the only ancient roman temple that is still in use today (as a church!) The end of the tour will be at the magnificent Trevi fountain where we can throw a coin that will assure a second visit to Rome

This was our second tour with Fabio in the last two years, and somehow he managed to exceed our already high expectations. There is simply no better guide to experience Rome with. We spent the day exploring the Colosseum, the Trevi Fountain, and the Pantheon, every stop came alive through Fabio’s incredible storytelling and passion for Roman history. As a trained archaeologist, his knowledge goes far beyond memorized facts. He explains not only the monuments themselves, but also the lives, traditions, engineering, politics, and culture of the Roman people in a way that is both fascinating and easy to understand. One of our favorite surprises was stopping for gelato at an incredible shop with over 150 flavors. It was a fun break that perfectly complemented an amazing day of sightseeing in the incredible heat we had. What truly sets Fabio apart is his genuine enthusiasm and kindness. He isn’t just reciting history—he shares his love for Rome in a way that makes you feel connected to the city. Every question was welcomed, every answer was thoughtful, and the entire day felt like exploring Rome with a knowledgeable friend. If you’re considering a tour in Rome, book Fabio without hesitation. Whether it’s your first visit or your tenth, you’ll leave with a much deeper appreciation for the Eternal City. We will absolutely continue using Fabio on every future trip to Rome and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to our family, friends, or clients. He is, without question, one of the finest guides we’ve ever had anywhere in the world. Grazie mille, Fabio! We can’t wait to see you again on our next Roman adventure. 🇮🇹🍷🏛️

Fabio was an exceptionally friendly guide who took us around Rome for three consecutive days. His incredibly in depth knowledge was only rivalled by his passion. He is full of anecdotes and little ‘surprises’, grownups and teenagers alike remained captivated hours on end. An archaeologist by trade, Fabio demonstrates a genuine connection to the tours, that I doubt many guides could match. We visited the Colosseum on our second day with Fabio. His incredible knowledge about the construction as well as its cultural and historical importance made this a fascinating visit. Equally, his supporting materials really allowed us to understand the ancient Roman world, and what it meant to be a gladiator or spectator. His understanding and knowledge about tiny details were phenomenal and made the tour even more captivating and interesting.

Fabio is very knowledgeable and clearly enthusiastic about Roman history! I don't think we stumped him once. He not only was informative on the stops on our tour, but also everything in between. It is so much more efficient and educational to have an informed guide.
