CanadaMemorable, outstanding guide. Valentina was outstanding, she put together a walking tour of Ancient Rome that left us fully of wonder and wanting more. We had were a large group of 16, that Valentina managed flawlessly. She is so passionate, she excites you to want more even when you are tired and think you have seen enough she shows you something else and you are revitalized to keep going. We walked, we ate, we loved every moment of the tour by a passionate organized guide. Thank you
Evelyn Hammond
United StatesValentina is a wonderful guide. She is very knowledgeable about Ancient Rome - the Architecture, the art, the society, the politics, etc. Her delivery is excellent - she is engaging and fun. Her English is really good. She is happy to answer questions and adjust her tour to your interests. She recommended a perfect lunch place. We travel in Italy often and mostly without guides our groups. Her tour was a highlight of our trip.

United StatesWow! Valentina - we absolutely love our time with you!! Your communication was fantastic from our first email to our last words after the tour. You are so knowledgeable, perceptive, patient, and clear. We could not be more happy with the way you introduced us to the Forum, Colosseum, and ancient culture in the context of modern Rome. The pace and content were perfect. Thank you!!
Karen Coleman
United StatesValentina gave us a fabulous tour of the Colosseum and Forum. Her knowledge about the history, culture and architecture was endless. She gave us enough information to keep us intrigued, but not so much information that we were overwhelmed. We would highly recommend taking this tour. Thanks Valentina.
Ruth Wilson
United StatesWe LOVED our tour with Valentina. She is incredibly knowledgeable and has great enthusiasm for her subject. We leave tomorrow morning, otherwise I would try to book another tour with her during our stay. I would take any tour that Valentina was guiding. SHE IS THAT GOOD!! Book now.
Susan Birdsey
United StatesWe will never forget our tour with Valentina. Her passion, knowledge, expertise and sense of humor were evident throughout our daylong tour. She is an archaeologist actively working on one of the sites we visited and has worked in many others. We learned so much as we walked through the Pantheon, Forum, Colusseum and Catacombs. Valentina arranged for a wonderful lunch although she could not join us. This was a highlight of our trip and the best one on one tour we've ever taken.
Jeff Vinson
United StatesThis tour was a top highlight of our visit to Rome. Valentina is an amazing guide, and we encourage you to choose her for your tour. She thoughtfully crafted an itinerary that suited our interests and strategically guided us to the best locations to see the key details while avoiding the crowds when possible. She sequenced our tour in a way that really helped bring the site to life, and we really enjoyed her passion and expertise. This was fully worth the price we paid, and a lasting cherished memory.
Jeff Vinson
United StatesI would rate this experience ten stars if possible! Valentina is an incredible guide, who we emphatically recommend. She is passionate about archaeology, and put much care into presenting us with a fun and educational experience tailored to our personal interests. The Underground Rome tour is perfect for those interested in seeing the layers of Roman history uncovered by archaeological excavation. It was our favorite site to visit in Rome, and Valentina made it well worth the price.
Jamie Way
ItalyValentina was fantastic! We could have spent the entire day with her. She engaged our 10 year old son, and my husband couldn't stop asking questions for the whole tour. We would highly recommend her, and will absolutely book her again. Especially, we would recommend her for people with interest in archaeology. She is passionate and an expert!
Devin Miller
United StatesOur tour of the Villa dei Quintili and Via Appia Antica with Valentina was without a doubt an amazing experience. You would be hard pressed to find anyone more knowledgeable and downright passionate about these incredible sites or Roman history in general. Our time with her passed by so quickly! I would have loved to have more time with her to talk history and listen to her stories. Don't hesitate to book a tour with Valentina, I think it will be one of the highlights of your time in Rome.

United StatesValentina is an excellent guide with in-depth knowledge of roman archeology. Her expertise made the tour very informative. We toured aqueducts along with other sites in Rome. Prior to our tour, she was always responsive and easy to communicate with. She also knew best place to eat gelato in Rome. We enjoyed the gelato very much. We highly recommend her as a guide to learn about Roman Empire.
Patricia Volini
United StatesWe had a delightful and informative tour of the Archeological Area of Ostia Antica with Valentina. She has expertise in both antiquities and archeology and her love of these subjects is apparent. She made the ancient city of Ostia come alive for us as we discovered the supporting role this port city played vis a vis Rome. She customized the tour to focus on things we were most interested in. And was happy to answer our questions. We highly recommend her as a tour guide!
Zachary Kampel
United StatesOur family of 4 was so fortunate to have Valentina guide us through archaeological sites where she has spent years working. Her first-hand knowledge of the significance of the unearthed structures and materials made for an amazing learning experience. Valentina explained building techniques and helped us imagine how these places looked and felt 2,000 years ago. Importantly, her empathy for ancient Roman ways and means suited our perspective perfectly.

Joanna Kaye
United KingdomValentina was the perfect guide for me and my 24 year old son. The enthusiasm for her subject was infectious and she made our visit to the Colosseum totally unforgettable. She brought the place to life. It was great that she is a practising archeologist too. Would highly recommend
Alice Collins
United StatesMy husband and I were delighted with our tour with Valentina. Her knowledge is deep and her enthusiasm brought to life the time of the empire and the practice of archeology. Her special interest in Nero and the Golden House were intriguing, and it was a privilege to hear about her own work. A great tour!
Robert Morris
Pride, LA, United StatesValentina was an excellent guide. Her archeological background provided additional insight on the Coliseum and Roman Forum tours. Very interesting sites to explore and we asked many questions which she graciously answered. With her background, it would have been great to visit Ostia Antica with her also but our time in Rome would not permit. I would certainly recommend Valentina for her guide service. Personable and looking to provide you an enjoyable tour in your visit to Rome.
Filip Vanelstraete
BelgiumValentina is a very enthousiastic archeologist that knows how to bring her knowledge in a very catchy way. She is very open to answer any questions going from ancient day-to-day life or construction techniques and howw you can date certain objects or buildings. Great experience !!
Rebecca Schacht

Nicola Saltman
AustraliaOur private tour with Valentina was fantastic. Her passion and knowledge kept us (3 adults and 4 teenagers) engaged throughout. So very lucky to go at 3.30pm and see the ancient ruins lit up in golden time, and at sunset (thanks Val for the tip!). Loved skipping the queues too :)
