Explore the Eternal City on a private tour with a professional Roman archaeologist! I am a licensed Tour Guide and I really love to share my knowledge and passion for Ancient Rome with others! Since 2003 I am working as field director on several scientific and emergency excavations downtown and in the province of Rome. As I have a deep knowledge of the Roman archaeological sites and museums, I think I would be a great tour guide for those who want to understand ancient Roman architecture, art and social life. It will be my pleasure to guide you to the world famous monuments - as the Colosseum, the Roman Forum and the Pantheon - or to show you hidden treasures less known - as Villa dei Quintili on the Appian Way, the Bath of Caracalla and Ostia Antica. Visit these archaeological sites with the eyes of a local archeologist and get to know the secrets and stories of every corner of Ancient Rome! I guarantee you will have an unforgettable experience! Please, note: all my tours can be customized. If you are interested in visiting a specific archaeological site, please send me a message and I will make an itinerary just for you! - Licenced tour guide - School of Specialization in Ancient Rome Archaeology Studies at the University of Salerno - M.A. in Lettere (dept. Classical Archaeology) cum laude at the University of Rome "La Sapienza" I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

If you are looking for an in-depth understanding and knowledge of Ancient Rome people, history and architecture, this is the right tour for you! Who ruled Rome? What does remains of their houses? Did Romulus actually exist? Who were the Vestal Virgins? What's the truth about the gladiators? Where did the Romans go shopping? Was Rome a colorful city? Enjoy this private tour and you will find the answers to these and many other questions. Curious people are very welcome! WARNING: The Colosseum tickets are nominative.

Valentina was an absolutely outstanding tour guide. Her deep knowledge from an archeological perspective of the Roman Forum and Colosseum were unparalleled. Her genuine excitement when discussing the amazing things we were seeing was palpable. I would give her 10 stars if possible.
We had a great tour with Valentina! She was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the history come alive with interesting stories and facts. Her expertise as an archaeologist was extraordinary. The tour was well organized, and we learned so much while enjoying Rome’s most iconic landmarks. Highly recommended!
We absolutely loved Valentina! She was a breath of fresh air on a super hot day! She customized our tour making the Roman forum and the Colosseum come to life! Her enthusiasm for history and her knowledge was superior! We could have listened to her for hours! We feel so blessed to have had such an amazing experience with her as our guide!
Our family of 8 took this tour with Valentina. She was the BEST! Everyone was so impressed with her knowledge and ability to share history in a very impactful manner. She was also superb in her communications prior to the tour.
Wonderful guided tour by Valentina. Her passion and knowledge made the tour more interesting with facts and stories even from holes on the walls when passing by. She kept things moving, not a boring moment. The tour was paced perfectly with time for pictures and break. Valentine responded promptly to my questions before the tour. Her English is excellent. I would book tour with her again.
Valentina provided a truly incredible guided experience of the Colosseum and Roman Forum. Her passion for the subject matter was very apparent, and it translated into the information and history she provided. Also, Valentina, being an archaelogist that actively digs at the sites at the Roman Forum, contributed unique insights into the conservation work happening in the area. Her insider stories and photos were a huge plus! She was wonderful, and our whole group could not recommend her enough. She was very helpful, even after the tour, when she gave us an amazing dinner recommendation.
