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.

Overview of your Rome tour

Book this "Underground tour" and join me, an expert archaeologist, for an in-depth exploration of the exceptional remains of Early Christianity in Rome! Beneath modern Rome is a hidden city made of temples and houses buried below the streets and the beautiful churches of the eternal city. We will discover the three underground levels of the Basilica of St Clement: - a 12th century church with breathtaking mosaics - a rare Early-Christian Basilica (4th century) - ancient Roman homes and temples. Our tour will proceed to the Roman houses under the Basilica of St John and Paul, exploring the homes of Imperial Rome elegantly decorated with frescoes.
