Rome, also known as the Eternal City and the capital of Italy is the 11th most-visited city in the world and the most preferred tourist attraction in Italy. It is said of the allurement of the city that one can live here a lifetime and not see enough! Of course that does not mean you have to miss out on the breath-taking sites; which is why there are several types of Rome tour packages you can select from: from customised and/or personal walking tours’ to ‘bus tours’, or to ‘guided tours’, all tailored to your convenience.
Rome Walking Tours: Rome is a great city for wandering. You must set aside enough time to just wander to enable yourself to experience what the Romans call "la bella città " or “The beautiful city”! There’s nothing like experiencing the Eternal city in the early evening, immersed in the dusky Italian sunset by taking to the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, Piazza Navona, the Palentine Hill and Contantine’s Arch. Other popular sights you MUST take to/check out include the Colosseum, Vatican City, Vatican museum and Gardens.
Rome bus tours: Hop-on and hop-off as you want with the open top bus tours; opting between a more northern route going past the Borghese Gallery and Piazza del Popolo or to the more central part of Rome going past the Quirinale while running alongside the Tiber. You do not need to fear losing out on the sights by picking one over another as the routes criss-cross and run alongside each other at numerous points, where you can switch from one route to the other as and when you wish.
Rome guided tours: Expert-guided tours, with native English-speaking guides are another very enjoyable option for those that want to hear the inside stories of the most important sites and museums. Believe us, having an Italian-speaking friend or reading a guide book will guide you to an extent but you don’t know what you miss out on until you experience one of these expert-guided tours for the most complete history and stories. They are not called ‘experts’ for no reason!
Last but not least, make the most of your time in the Eternal City. And oh! Do not let me remind you to carry along with you a good quality digital camera to capture the magic and memories - for you never know when the next chance will come by. Enjoy!
