Hello, I'm Francesca Maria, and I am an Archaeologist and Qualified Tour Guide in Rome and Vatican. I've a bachelor's degree in Conservation of Cultural Heritage and a master degree in Cultural and Archaeological Heritage at the University of Rome. I was born and raised here, so I am 100% local! Before becoming a tour guide I was working as an archaeologist in several archaeological sites. My archaeological background brings a unique perspective to my walking tours of Rome. With me you will discover more about this beautiful city, its art and history, the fascinating historical sites, the hidden gems, Romans and the Roman way of life. I can customize tours according to your interests. I specialize in private tours for small groups of all ages, including families with younger children. I have children myself, and I am happy to work with children and families as well as adults. My tours are all private, so the visit will be exclusively for you and can be tailored to your wishes and physical abilities. I will be happy to help you to organize the perfect guided tour. I will be your local friend in Rome, and give you suggestions on restaurants, shopping, exhibitions and things to do. I look forward to bringing Rome to life for you! *Bachelor's Degree in Cultural Heritage, Archaeology *Master in Cultural/Archaeological Resources *Qualified TOURIST GUIDE (Rome) I'm not a driver. I provide walking tours. If needed, we can take cabs or I can arrange for a separate car or minivan and driver.

Francesca was an amazing tour guide.She responded quickly on the website & helped me plan my time before our tour.She anticipated our needs & met every request we had. My granddaughter & I found her a fountain of knowledge & very easy to talk to.I have taken many tours & Francesca is one of the best guides I have traveled with. If I am in Rome again , I would gladly tour with her !
Francesca gave us a great tour of the Vatican. Our original guide had to cancel at the last minute, but she was able to arrange for her friend to take us instead. Being the year of Jubilee, made things more difficult than normal, but Francesca was prepared and navigated us through the chaos. I highly recommend her for your tour in Rome.
We had an incredible time. Francesco guided us thru a day long remembered. Thank you!
We had an amazing experience on our Vatican and Colosseum tour with Francesca! Francesca was incredibly friendly and welcoming from the start, and she made the whole day enjoyable. She was very knowledgeable and shared so many interesting facts that really brought the history to life. We especially appreciated that she already had tickets for us to return to St. Peter's Basilica (even though we went the day before) but she got to show us things we didn't see before and explain more about the history of areas we had already seen. It is clear that she loves what she does. Thank you for making our tour so special and memorable!
Francesca is FABULOUS!!! Extremely knowledgeable and personable!! Thank you for a perfect day of seeing and learning!
