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.

The splendid small palace that hosts the Borghese Gallery was built at the beginning of the seventeenth century as the private residence of the Borghese family. From the beginning it housed the collection of cardinal Scipione, nephew of Pope Paul V Borghese. In 1902 the Italian State purchased the rest of the collection and the palace. Currently the collection consists of sculptures and mosaics, sixteenth-seventeenth century paintings. They include masterpieces by Perugino, Pinturicchio, Correggio, Rubens, Raphael (Deposition) Titian (Sacred and profane love, Venus blindfolding Love) Caravaggio (Youth with a fruit basket, the Madonna of the footmen, David with Goliath's head) and sculptures by Gian Lorenzo Bernini (Apollo and Daphne, the Rape of Proserpina, David) and Canova (Paolina Borghese). Follow me on this tour and we will discover together the secrets, history and beauty of these magnificent works of art! If you love art as much as I do, this is a tour you can't miss.
Our tour of the Borghese Gallery was made unforgettable by our guide Fabio. He was a wealth of knowledge who made the art & its history come alive. If you request Fabio as your guide, you will have a fabulous experience. His passion & enthusiasm was contagious.
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. Fabio has an incredible ability to keep his tours interesting, maintaining engagement effectively throughout. 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. Fabio started this tour by putting everything into historical context, allowing us to understand what we were about to enter to a far greater extent. The knowledge he has about the artworks and their artists observed were profound and impressive, it is clear he had far more he could say for each piece. Thank you for a beautiful tour Fabio.
Excellent tour and tour guide. The museum is breathtaking and houses some of the best works of art in the world. Fabio brings each panting and sculpture to life through vivid story telling. Probably the best museum tour guide I've had.
The most peaceful of all our tours with Fabio in Rome. Although we were limited to 2hrs in the Gallery, your words Fabio were so true: "I will show you the best". Not only did the information flow from you like a river during our Vatican and Ancient Rome tours with you, but your knowledge on the art we were blessed to see in this gallery was astounding. Thank you for guiding us through this gallery and its beautiful gardens. You never missed a moment to share your vast knowledge!
