Ciao! I'm Sabrina, born and raised in Rome, archeologist and qualified guide for Rome! I've been working as an archeologist for 20 years, digging in different places in Rome and outside Rome. A few years ago I started working as a tour guide and it was a revelation for me! I realized that I really love this job! I like passing on my knowledge and at the same time meeting new people and learning from everyone. As an archeologist, I love archeological sites, monuments, buildings or museums where you can "read" the history of this wonderful city . . but I also love strolling through the narrow streets of Rome, where literally every stone can tell us something! I never get tired of taking guided tours, because Rome is truly unforgettable and there is always something to discover! • Degree in Archeology, La Sapienza University, Rome • Master in "musealization, preservation and enhancement of archeological heritage", University of Rome Tor Vergata • Licensed Tour Guide of Rome • Licensed Tour Guide of the Vatican I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

This half-day tour will show you 2000 years of history. Since the arrival of the Apostle Peter in Rome, his martyrdom and the spread of Christianity, the Vatican has become the center of spiritual and political power. The museums display incredible works of art from ancient Greece and Rome, from the Renaissance and Baroque periods. It is a unique collection that tells the story of the Catholic Church. The highlight of this tour is the Sistine Chapel, where you can admire Michelangelo's frescoes and learn about his technique and iconography. The Sistine Chapel is also the place where the cardinals meet for the conclave, the election of a new pope. It therefore plays an important role in the structure of the papacy itself. From there, continue on to St. Peter's Basilica. Get ready to marvel at the largest church in the world, where you will discover one of the statues that made Michelangelo so famous: the Pietà.
We highly recommend Sabrina as a local tour guide in Rome. She provided a very personalized and informative tour of the Vatican and accompanying museums. She went at our pace, answered questions, and made sure that we saw the most important highlights. - Dennis and Amy G, South Carolina, US
Sabrina was the most wonderful tour guide we could’ve had! She was very personable and very engaging. We felt as if the tour went by so smoothly and was sad to leave her! Her knowledge of all the sites was admirable and very impressive. Highly recommend choosing her for your tours, she truly was the best!
Sabrina was fantastic. Extremely knowledgable and personable. We learned so much and had a great time. We would not have gotten nearly as much out of our visit with her. Highly recommend!
Sabrini knows how to maximize every minute of your time with her. Her little, back hallway routes around Vatican City, allowed us so much more time to see things even on a very crowded day.
There were six family members on this tour with Sabrina. The ages ranged from nine to eighty seven. After spending a week sightseeing in Rome, all of us chose the tour of the Vatican as the highlight of our trip. Sabrina made everything interesting and informative. She was especially good with the two kids aged nine and eleven. We covered art architecture history and religion. Everything was interesting. Those of us who had visited the Vatican on other trips gained new insights. Sabrina found us space in the Sistine Chapel so that we could have the best view of the ceiling. We also used the stairs in the Sistine Chapel to descend to the Basilica. Even though this was Easter week and everything was crowded, we were able to see everything and hear everything. It was a pleasure to interact with a person and to not have to wear the earbuds and the transmitters. Thank you Sabrina for giving us a memorable tour.
Sabrina was so knowledgeable and friendly and really good with my kids. I would definitely recommend this tour. We went on a crowded day and she always found a great spot for us to stand and discuss what we were seeing.
In the Museums, you will visit: - Pinecone courtyard; - Pius-Clementine Museum; - galleries; - Rooms of Raphael; - Sistine Chapel; - Saint Peter's Basilica. On rare occasions and on Wednesdays, the Basilica might be closed. In this case, we would visit another section of the museums. Dress code. The Vatican has strict dress code requirements: dresses/shorts must be knee length and shoulders covered , so bringing zip on attire or scarfs is acceptable.
