Why is this trip to Rome like no other?
We’ll be going far beyond the top ten sites and tourist traps that make up most Rome itineraries. We’ll be taking you to see true hidden gems, incredible masterpieces, and unexplored side streets, all put in a historic and artist context that will make them come alive. We’ll escape the crowds and see a Rome that most tourists (and even many locals!) never discover.
This is also the ideal trip for anyone who doesn’t have time to research and plan. We’ve already planned the perfect trip for you. All you have to do is book your flight and we’ll do the rest…
You don’t have to figure out where to stay:
Your room is already booked and waiting for you, at the stunning and historic 4-star Donna Camilla Savelli Hotel in the heart of the picturesque neighborhood of Trastevere, with charming rooms full of period furniture and a lush courtyard where breakfast is served beside a bubbling fountain.
You don’t have to book any tickets or tours:
We’ve put together five mornings of fascinating tours. We’ll personally take you to see some of the most iconic monuments of the city, as well as incredible artistic masterpieces, thrilling historic sites, picturesque corners, and hidden gems many Romans have never even seen! Tiffany will draw from her 20 years’ experience as a Rome tour guide to make these sites come to life. All tickets are included.
And if you’d like to take additional tours during your free time, we’ll arrange them for you and book your tickets!
You don’t have to research what to see:
In addition to the five tours we personally offer, you’ll receive a mini-guide book with detailed, themed itineraries crafted by us, that you can follow on your own in your free time—so you won’t miss out on anything this amazing city has to offer. Each route is mapped out on a GoogleMap to make it even easier to follow.
You don’t have to stress over where to eat:
We’ve compiled a list of our 60 favorite restaurants, bars, caffès, and gelato shops in the city—places we have personally eaten at and loved—so you’ll never have to stress over where to eat. We’ve included all the pertinent information in our mini-guide book, as well as a custom GoogleMap. If you’re out and about, you can find an amazing restaurant near you in seconds.
You don’t have to figure out how to get into the city from the airport:
At arrival, your private chauffeured car will be waiting for you. Just hop in and relax while you’re whisked to the hotel in comfort.
You don’t have to wonder if you’ll be in good hands:
It’s us. If you’ve been listening to this podcast for a while, you already know us; you know how much we care about our listeners, and how well we know this city.
Let us take all the guesswork out of Rome. Let us show you our favorite places, take you there, and explain why they are so special. Let us pamper you and take care of every aspect of the trip so you can relax and enjoy it. In short, let us show you our Rome. By the end of the week, we have a feeling you’ll love it as much as we do. This trip is intimate, with a maximum of 16 guests, and likely fewer.
