About Professional Tour Guide
Ciao! I'm Alba, a Roman archaeologist and licensed tour guide. Even though I'm Italian through and through, I've spent quite a bit of time living on the East Coast of the US and in England.
After snagging a BA in Conservation of Cultural Heritage and not one, but two MAs in Archaeology and History of Architecture, I went all out and got my Ph.D. in Archaeology back in 2015. But you know what? I quickly realized that I'm more into storytelling than hardcore research. So, I ditched the academic life and dove headfirst into guiding tours and educating folks in museums all across central Italy.
I'm all about uncovering the hidden gems of Rome and the surrounding areas in Lazio. Sure, the Colosseum and Trevi Fountain are cool, but there's so much more to see!
So, join me for some passionate dives into the Great Beauty of Rome. Let's explore its fascinating history and art scene together!

Live Tour in Rome with Alba
After watching several Virtual Tours with Alba S., my son Mario, who speaks fluent Italian, planned a dream trip to Italy. I asked him to hire Alba as our tour guide in Rome for 2 days mid-April 2025. We stayed in the Pantheon Hotel and took a taxi to meet her. She took us on an amazing tour of the Piazzas and Fountains including Trevi , Piazza Navona Four Rivers, Sacred area of Largo Argentina, the Spanish Steps adorned by azaleas to celebrate Birthday of Rome, sinking Boat Fountain, Piazzale Guiseppe Garibaldi. The next day Alba took us through the Vatican Museum. Lots of history and interesting stories both days. For the 3rd day by ourselves, she told us how to buy disabled tickets and get into St Peter’s Cathedral right side entrance. Standing a long time is painful for me. I used a cane or a wheelchair as my walker. Thank you to Alba. It was a delight to meet you.
Far Beyond Your Age for Such Wisdom of the Ages

Fabulous virtual tour of underground,Piazza Navona,Rome
Alba is so knowledgeable & thorough in all of her tours we have attended !! Always first class 11 Many thanks, they are the next best experiences to being there in person.
Wonderful and enlightening.
This tour (Piazza Navonne) is incredible. So many interesting facts. Alba speaks at a good speed and in very clear English, even though she is a genuine Italian. You can tell that she really loves her subject, and she loves to share it with interested people. I will keep looking for her tours – they are the best. Of course, I showed appreciation with a tip. And on a very hot day, I got to sit in my chair and drink water. The best of all worlds.
Lovely Tour, Lots of Info!
What an amazing tour of Rome! Alba has extensive knowledge and is a fun and patient guide! Every question was answered after a detailed and beautiful tour!
Cannot wait to visit Rome and meet her in person! 💝
