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.

In this tour we will have the time to deepen many aspects of the roman civilization and we will have also a visit to the Arena stage where the gladiators fought! I am a licensed tour guide but also an archaeologist, I can tell you the history and stories of ancient Rome better than anyone else! Our visit begins on the site that over the centuries has become the symbol of the city, the Colosseum, built by the Emperors of the Flavian dynasty. We'll discover its rich history of gladiators, slaves and ferocious animals, and also cruelty, discipline and clemency. Moving on we will visit the area that witnessed the birth and development of the Roman civilization: the Forum. Political, religious and economic heart of the Roman Republic, in the Forum and visitors can still glimpse the remains of ancient temples. The Palatine Hill is the ancient imperial palace, but it's also an the location of a famous legend. . discover it with me!
What a wealth of knowledge! Fabio gave us wonderful new insights into the Foro Romano and Colosseo. He was a passionate historian and storyteller, and helped us recreate the ancient civilizations in our minds with remarkable detail. Grazie mille!
This was my second time booking with Fabio. He is absolutely amazing! He is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about Roman history and archaeology, and also very personable. I truly can’t recommend Fabio enough!!
Had a great time with Fabio. Our family of 6 with four young men really enjoyed Fabio’s rich knowledge and expertise. As an archeologist Fabio was able to share experiences and education super interesting and unique. Highly recommend!
“Visiting Rome with Fabio was an unforgettable experience! His deep knowledge of ancient Roman history and engaging storytelling made the tour of the Colosseum and its surroundings truly come alive. Fabio kept us captivated the entire trip, sharing fascinating insights, tips, and even a few secrets about the Colosseum that we would have otherwise missed. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Highly recommended!”
The tour with Fabio was just what we hoped it would be. He was an expert guide who is an actual archeologist. Skip the line tickets and having a tour guide with Fabio's experience enabled us to see the most possible during our tour. Fabio's communication was terrific, he answered our questions via email about local transportation and where to meet him. We had no trouble connecting in person. Well worth the money!
Amazing tour. Fabio is so knowledgeable about the history, construction, and preservation of the Colosseum. We loved Fabio. Would definitely recommend him for any tour.
