Since I was a child I loved history and ancient civilizations (it was Indiana Jones' fault!) so I decided to follow my passion by graduating in Roman Archaeology with a specialization in underwater archaeology that I performed in Italian lakes and the Mediterranean Sea. My experiences in the tourism field have started in the year 2012 when I decided, with other partners, to create a Cultural Association, "ArcheologicaMente Roma". The aim was to acquaint the participants of the tours not only with the most important and famous monuments of the city of Rome but, above all, with the many little-known and underground sites, the typical districts, the churches so as to share with them the knowledge and the beauty of places that would otherwise have remained hidden. In 2016 I passed the examination and got the tourist guide license issued by the Roman Tourism Council and I began working for international and local companies leading groups, students, and, most of all, individual clients customizing tours according to their interests and needs. Why not share my love for the beauties of my city with people from all over the world? Being roman I love Italian food, so there'll always be time for a typical restaurant or a fantastic gelato! Official licensed guide of Rome Degree in Roman Archaeology and a Postgraduate diploma in Classical Archaeology Customized tours (full day or half day) with luxury private car and driver 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.
