Hi there! I'm Barbara, born and raised in Rome, just a few feet from the Vatican City, I love to travel the world and explore different cultures! With a degree in Architecture and a master degree in Historical Building Restoration, I have been studying architecture and art history for all my life, working for several years to the restoration of some of the most prestigious palaces in Rome. I decided to become a Tour Guide to share my lifetime experience in Rome with people from all over the world. I'm really proud to unravel the amazing stories hidden behind every alley and square of the Eternal city, bring back to life the outstanding Roman ruins, show the masterpieces made by the most important artists working for the powerful Popes and communicate my passion and true love for my Hometown, like only locals can do! All of my tours are private and can be tailored according to you interests and wishes, so just give me the details and I will create the perfect tour just for you! I hope to welcome you soon to Rome. . . A presto! Barbara - Degree in Architecture, La Sapienza University, Rome - Master Degree in Historical Buildings Restoration, Roma Tre University, Rome - Master in Archeological Restauration, University of Florence - Official Vatican Guide Operatrice Didattica - Licensed National Tour Guide of Italy

Overview of your Rome tour
Enjoy two UNESCO World Heritage Sites in one Day! Tivoli is a small city a few miles from Rome, famous because is the only one in the world which can boast two incredible UNESCO world heritage sites: Villa Adriana and Villa d'Este! Visit with an architect Villa Adriana, built by the Emperor Hadrian at the beginning of the 2nd century AD, a sumptuous complex of over 30 buildings, covering an area of more than 100 hectares (about 250 acres), of which most of it has not yet been excavated. . . Enjoy a delicious lunch break in a typical restaurant (with an amazing location!) and with a jump of over a thousand years, reach Villa d'Este, a gem of the Italian Renaissance, built in the XVI century by Cardinal Ippolito d'Este. As an expert in landscaping architecture I'll guide you through its breathtaking gardens, an imposing concentration of fountains, grottoes and water features, that became a prototype for all the most sumptuous estates in Europe.
