Born and raised in Rome, I have been working in the tourism industry for 11 years now, first leading tours throughout Italy and later qualifying for my license as an official guide for Rome, the surrounding province and Vatican City. Before being a tour guide, I already knew a bit about Rome art and history, but when some of my foreign friends were coming to Rome, I was unable to explain them the whole history of my own city. I felt ashamed and decided to improve it, so I started to follow special courses which led me to the wonderful job of being a tour guide. I enjoy sharing my love for my beautiful city with my guests. My job allows me to meet people from all over the world, and many of them are special. Second, among the special persons I guided Jimmy Fallon, the American Comedian, and I did not know how he was ! My specialty is the archeological area of Rome and all the main sights (Coliseum, the Roman Forum...) but also Rome’s underground (ancient roman city) with its catacombs, crypts, and churches. I love it because it shows the past of the city and let us see the connections between the ancient city and the modern one.

"We booked two tours with Tiziana Gargaro, the early morning Vatican tour and the Forum/Colosseum/Palatine Hill tour. From our first email she was responsive, professional and helpful! She had a lot of helpful suggestions that really gave us the most out of our tours. She was very knowledgeable and friendly which made having our own guide even more fun. She was also flexible which was nice when our 11 month old decided he needed breaks! She also helped us with recommendations for the rest of our trip, going above and beyond! The Vatican tour was especially wonderful as we were there early and off-season so we had the entire place to ourselves! We will be recommending her tours to our friends, and hope we are able to take another with her on our next trip to Rome! TRwheretonext Written before the UTF site launch"
