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!

From start to finish Valeria was a fabulous host! She came well equipped with her imagery and showed us where we were and how it would have looked in the past. Every question was answered and we really felt like we knew so much more about the Eternal City. Highly recommended and importantly as a family we will remember how Valeria enhanced our experience. A very engaging and lovely person who made us feel so very welcome. Valeria really made our stay!!!

Valeria is lovely and professional. We enjoyed the tour and found her dealings with us before and during the tour effortlessly. However, our twins are 10 years old and I feel the scavenger hunt element was too young for them. I think there needs to be 2 options - this one for up to age 8 and then another one that is more challenging for older kids. I also wish there was more time devoted to the Forum. At least another 30 mins could be added to this tour as it felt very rushed. Overall, I would recommend this tour. Tour for kids

We had a private tour for 3 - Everything worked perfectly and Valeria was a great guide. Extremely knowledgeable and a good storyteller. Also super smooth with the meeting and ticket routines. We would definitely book Valeria again.Fun, engaging and seemless

Really enjoyed Valeria guiding us through both the Colosseum and the Roman Forum. She was able to answer all our questions and kept an our kids engaged throughout with a couple of scavenger hunts. Everyone really enjoyed the flip books she used to connect what things look like in the past to present day. Very knowledgeable, would recommend.Informative for all!

With Valeria we visited a neighborhood we would otherwise have missed. Beautiful architecture, as insightfully shown by Valeria. In addition, we had fun! Super surprising Rome!

Valeria was wonderful, she was professional, knowledgeable, and made the tour fun for the kids too! I wish we had more time with her! She made sure to give us great photo opps and access to areas that she knew would be less crowded! If you get the chance to book with her do! And do at least 3 hours if not more! There is so much to see across the Colosseum & Paletine Hill areas!!Rome Explored
