Architecture • History • Art • Urbanism
Rome is a layered city — a palimpsest. I help you understand the “why” behind monuments and public spaces, with a calm, private experience designed around your time and interests.
Why Choose Roma Bella

Ximena Amarales
ARCHITECT • LICENSED GUIDE
Rome is not just a city — it’s a layered structure built over centuries. I guide you through its monuments and spaces with the eye of an architect, explaining proportions, urban logic, and hidden meanings that most tours never touch.
Architect-Led Explanations
Understand Rome beyond dates and names — learn why buildings look the way they do, how the city evolved, and how ancient and modern Rome coexist.
Skip-the-Line Planning
Priority access planning for the Colosseum, Vatican, and major sites whenever possible, so your time is spent discovering — not waiting.
Private & Tailored Tours
Every tour is private and adapted to your pace, interests, and travel style — couples, families, students, or first-time visitors.
Calm, Premium Pace
No rushing, no crowds following a flag. Just thoughtful routes, clear explanations, and a relaxed experience designed around you.
