Hello! I'm Barbara and I come from a family of skilled woodcraft restorers, with a deep respect for history and craftsmanship, which has shaped my passion for guiding people through the timeless beauty of Rome. As a licensed tour guide, I have the unique opportunity to connect different cultures and eras, bridging the gap between the people who once lived in these ancient spaces and those who have traveled from across the world to experience them today. For me, each tour is more than just a recounting of history—it's about giving voice to the places we visit, bringing them back to life in a meaningful way. This is truly an honor, as I act as a living bridge between the past and the present, allowing you to experience Rome not only through its sights but through its stories and emotions. I specialize in creating personalized, off-the-beaten-path experiences for those who wish to travel differently—exploring hidden gems and lesser-known corners of the city. My tours are designed for those who want to feel like true insiders, seeing Rome from a unique perspective, away from the typical tourist crowds. Of course, we’ll also savor Rome’s stunning beauty and rich history, but rest assured, good food will always be around the corner—because what’s a tour of Rome without tasting its delicious culinary delights? Whether you’re interested in a deep dive into Roman history, exploring secret spots, or enjoying a leisurely walk through its most iconic areas, I will be attentive to your needs and expectations. I am committed to providing a tour experience that’s not only informative but also engaging and enjoyable. I am also passionate about making tours accessible to everyone. I am certified in special needs tourism, catering to both physical and sensory limitations, and I love being a family-friendly guide. Every tour is customizable to fit your interests, and I take great pride in creating tailored itineraries that make your time in Rome unforgettable. Credentials: - Licensed Tour Guide of Rome - Degree in Economy of Tourism - Post-graduate course in History of the Church (Pontificia University Gregoriana) - Special Needs Certifications (Physical & Sensory limitations) Please note: I am not a driver, but I can assist with arranging a car and driver if needed. Additionally, I am unable to offer tours inside the Vatican Museums.

Beneath the bustling streets of Rome lies a hidden world of ancient wonders, waiting to be uncovered. This private walking tour will take you deep into the city’s underground layers, where time seems to stand still. From forgotten temples to early Christian sanctuaries, you’ll journey through centuries of history, exploring secret chambers and shadowy corridors. Among these mysteries, you’ll encounter traces of an enigmatic cult that once thrived in the heart of the empire—the worshippers of Mithras, a Persian deity shrouded in secrecy, whose rites were performed in temples beneath the city.
- Basilica of San Clemente – A short walk from the Colosseum and the Ludus Magnus (the ancient gladiator barracks), this extraordinary site reveals nearly 2,000 years of history, including a hidden Mithraeum—a sacred underground temple dedicated to the mysterious god Mithras. - Roman Houses on the Caelian Hill – A well-preserved complex of ancient domus, offering a glimpse into everyday life in Imperial Rome.
