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.

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.
What a great tour, our guide was knowledgeable and polite. The bike ride was invigorating and a learning experience. I learned a lot about the Appian Way and what it was like back during the Roman Empire years. Aqueduct Park, which we stopped at along the way was breath taking. If you haven't ridden a bike in while you may want to practice a little before hand.
Wow, our private guide was awesome and the tour was beyond what we expected. She got so excited about explaining the history of early Christianity and the catacombs. Very knowledgeable, polite and took the time to answer our questions and made sure we understood. I highly recommend this tour.
Valentina was exceptional. Her archeology background was invaluable and gave us far greater depth than we expected. Moreover, she was engaging and stimulating in her interactions. Her explanations made it more than just a "see this" tour and truly helped us understand the human history involved and the reality of what we were seeing. You cannot go wrong booking with her and her enthusiasm for her job is both obvious and intoxicating. Well done Valentina.
It was so wonderful to tour with Valentina - if there were more stars available we would use them! We took the “underground” tour to see more of the layers and archaeology of the area after touring with her earlier at Palatine Hill and the Forum. Her passion for archaeology and history is so evident and her enthusiasm is contagious. If you have any specific interest in the history of republican and imperial Rome, book with Valentina - you will see so much of what you have read about but cannot even imagine how wonderful it is until she helps you discover it. Brava, Valentina - very very glad we booked these tours!
Once again Valentina provided a most amazing tour. A full hour of enthusiasm, professionalism, knowledge of the subject. She provided an awesome display of her knowledge of the subject. It was a most memorable couple of hours. Thanks again Valentina. Don
Valentina was a wonderful tour guide and a wealth of information. The Underground Rome tour was excellent, and Valentina's passion for archeology shines through. This was by far our favorite tour in Rome.
