Hi there! Nice to meet you

Valeria

I am a Licensed Tour Guide with an architecture background, eager to show you my city and its best gelato spots!

Since 2014, I run a Travel and Photography website where I share my reportage with a taste for the unusual, from Rome to the Polar Regions.

Storytelling is more than a simple passion for me and I am grateful that now it is my full-time job.

I have also collaborated with Nikon, Lonely Planet & Financial Times!

I was looking for a unique experience to tour the colosseum with my children (9 and 7- boys), keeping them engaged and interested and this was a disappointment. It was very history heavy and they quickly lost interest. If you’re looking for an in-depth understanding of Ancient Rome, this is a great tour but if you are looking for one that’s more interactive and holds kids’ attention, this isn’t it! Not as child friendly as I had wanted

A great tour. Wonderful to visit sights our guide was so passionate about. Valaria’s architectural knowledge together with her understanding of Roman history filled many holes in our basic understanding of the age. Valaria

Valeria was really friendly, approachable, and incredibly knowledgeable. Her architecture background brought a really great insight to the tour of Colosseum and Forum. If you’re questioning the cost in anyway, I would say it is worth every penny. Not only do you have the great knowledge, one to one attention of Valeria and therefore you can ask any questions, but also when the attractions are so busy it’s incredibly valuable to have your own personal guide who can take you to one side easily and find somewhere quieter to give you more information. Highly Recommended

We had a great tour of Garbatella with Valeria. It was wonderful to see this fascinating area, hearing stories of its unique history, culture & architecture. Valeria revealed stories, spaces & places that we wouldn’t have appreciated without her knowledge & research. Great tour

Valeria is a wonderful guide, very knowledgeable and personable. Worked with us to customize our tour to our tastes and showed us many hidden gems and helped us understand them and their significance. Gave excellent suggestions for local food to eat after the tour that did not disappoint!Wonderful hidden gems

She is really an exceptional guide. We asked for not commin things in Rome and she gave us 4 hrs the best we could get. Unbelievable as much special and hidden gemms we saw. Good information and very very kind. Ok she wants to show as much as she can, but she is walking in the speed you want… we didn’t mind but don’t forget to say if you want slower the het average athlete speed. We almost would book another tour with her again in the same holiday. Valeria is a championOne of the greatest

Best decision to hire a local private guide. Was 5 adult family members travelling together. Valeria was knowledgeable and informative and made the experience geared for our pace and interest. She made the extra effort to find quieter spots to share her information and made sure we were all good with the stairs. Well worth private guide
