Meet local guide Giovanni V. in Roma, Italy

Archaeology has always been my greatest passion, and that's why I decided to study it in college for 8 years (1st level degree, 2nd level degree, and post-graduate School of Specialization). At the end of each course of studies, I had to write a thesis: two about the Eastern religions in Rome, and one about Roman and Etruscan architecture.

After completing my education, I found out that I loved sharing what I had learned, and so I became a tour guide. I always try to make my tours entertaining and informative, because I truly believe that history, architecture, and archaeology are a lot of fun!

I dug in many sites, including the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill (Colosseum Area) and I love to take my clients to places where I've dug, so I can share with them my direct experience of the sites and my dig stories. I'm still involved in the "Campo della Fiera project", a large excavation of an extremely interesting Etruscan sanctuary in Orvieto.

As a tour guide, I love to create tailored tours and treat my clients as individuals, offering the best service I can. In my tours, I always include pick up service at the hotel, and I try to design an itinerary that matches the clients' needs and expectations.

I try to help the people discover the hidden gems of Rome and Italy, but I never forget about the highlights. That's why many of the itineraries I designed include both famous and off-the-beaten-path sights.

I lead tours in Rome and also outside of the city, and I provide day trips to Pompeii, Florence, Tivoli, Ostia Antica, Orvieto, and many other famous beautiful locations in Italy.

I can't wait to meet you and to share my love for ancient history!
