Hello! My name is Giuliano, I was born and raised in the Eternal City and I am a licensed guide since 2015. As an archaeologist, I've spent my life studying the districts and the history of Rome. My aim is to engage children, young people and people with diverse abilities in artistic projects. To make history accessible, exciting and relevant for all. I love working as a guide of Rome because every day I can see my city through the eyes of my travellers and also because my passion for our food and traditions allows me to give to my guests special experiences! Let me tell you why you should visit Rome. . . Imagine you're walking in the down town of my city, surrounded by the Great Beauty, you can clearly hear the sound of your steps on the cobblestones, it sounds like music. The Music reminds you that, underground, beneath your feet, there is an immerse ancient city that is sleeping, waiting to be rediscovered. You are turning one of the corners and pops up out of the blue an old column or a ruin. It's been there for ever, but as soon as you see this view, your mind starts flying and it opens up to the Stories of Rome: stories of Love and Death, Slaves and Emperors, Popes and Dicators. And while all those thoughts are becoming real, you realize that, sometimes, in Rome, time and space don't exist, one second is one century. This is the reason why, I think, you should visit Rome, in order to feel, at least for one second, what the eternity feels like. . . I'm ready to customize the tours with my travellers, I can guide you in the most famous places like the Vatican City and the Colosseum as well as the daily trip from Rome with a private Van and English speaking driver. - 2006 Graduated with honor in Archaeology at the University of Rome La Sapienza - 2015 Officially Licensed Guide in Rome - 2016, 2017, 2018 Award for the highest number of 5 star feedback as a guide for one of the most important Agency of Rome - 2019 Advanced Training Course in Museum Education at the MAXXI Museum in Rome - Driving Licence None

Overview of your Rome tour

PLEASE CONTACT ME BEFORE BOOKING THE TOUR TO KNOW THE AVAILABILITY OF TICKETS. Tour of Ancient Rome will take you to discover the mysteries of the symbol of the eternal city: the Colosseum. You will access the monument directly with our skip-the-line service. Under my guidance you will find yourself in the heart of the largest amphitheater in the world where the gladiatorial games against wild beast were held. The tour of the Colosseum will continue with an exciting walk on the ancient Via Sacra inside the Roman Forum, the pulsating center of political, commercial and religious life of the ancient Rome. This tour is a journey from the beginning of the civilization to the fall of the Roman Empire. As a passionate archaeologist, my aim is to share the love for my city with the travellers by telling stories that bring Ancient Rome back to life.

Giuliano was the best in each and every way. You will be lucky to book with him. He brought an excellent driver, Giovanni, who was always punctual and right where he was supposed to be. This tour is really the only way to see Rome in a day. The traffic is not good and Giovanni gets you as close to every site as possible. I can't imagine trying to park and walk anywhere or just walking with no car. I had a request to see a special chapel, it was no problem and Giuliano knew everything about it! Superb!

My son and I did a private history tour including the Coliseum with Giuliano and it was by far, the highlight of the trip. He was incredibly knowledgeable and engaging and we learned a lot! (AND avoided the crowds) My son is a history buff, so we splurged on the private tour and it was definitely worth it! Thank you to Giuliano! Highly recommend!

Outstanding! Giuliano was well prepared, extremely knowledgeable, keenly aware of timing, evolving nature of crowds, and our own interests to gracefully adapt as the tour evolved. His astute understanding of history, archaeology and culture were integrated effectively in masterfully communicating the intricacies of ancient Rome.
