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
Ostia was founded as one of the first fortified roman colonies at the end of the Tiber river during the VI century B. C. It became immediately an important port, acquiring the strategic function to supply Rome with food stuff thanks to the ships coming from every part of the Mediterranean Sea. A the end of the Roman Empire the town was abandoned and the river mud covered it. More than 100 years excavations rediscovered mosaics, frescoes, and amazing architecture. We'll make a travel back to the Roman Age and we'll explore the area: the theatre, baths, public fountains and latrines, barracks of fire brigades, temples of different religions (Capitolium, Temple of Mithras), the Forum, the Square of Corporations, the shops (i. e. bakery, wine bar, laundry) the dwelling. It's time to discover the everyday life in the Roman world! I'm a licensed tour guide but also an archaeologist, who better than me can accompany you and tell you the history and stories of Ancient Rome? Follow me in this adventure!
