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!

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!

A feast for your senses.
Ciao a tutti voi. Alba is a treasure. She incorporates the senses to bring her tour come alive. Shots of beautiful buildings and monuments. Her descriptions allow you to almost taste/smell/feel what you see. So many fascinating information. She lives in Rome and her love for the city clearly comes across. Cars, please watch out for her. A tour with Alba is an hour well spent. Mille grazie, Alba.
Amazing tour of Coppedè District of Rome
I had never heard of this district – so many architectural and historical details. Fascinating beyond description. So personable. Time for questions at the end. Would sign up for another walking tour again.

Compliments and future tours
Hello, Alba: I have really enjoyed your virtual tours! I visited Rome for the first time last April and had a great time. It has been superb to revisit some of the places that I visited back then, as well as to see new places. I am very impressed with your English.
