Rome Trips & Tours

Exquisite, 17th century Bernini fountains and Renaissance piazzas buzzing with Vespas; archaeological ruins and haute couture; church bells and waiters balancing trays of espresso… Where else could you be but Rome? With millennia’s worth of history, the capital city’s big ticket items are worthy of every exclamation – Vatican City, the Colosseum, the Pantheon and just about any corner of the historic, UNESCO-listed centre – but it’s when you get stuck into the bits in between that the fun really begins. We’re talking savouring a cacio e pepe at a linen-draped table in Testaccio and slurping gelato as you wander; perusing antique dealers in Monti before aperitivo and dinner in a candle-lit trattoria; or even detouring out of the city to Tivoli’s Renaissance villas and the beautiful harbour town of Ostia Antica. Rome is big, frantic and hurried, but live like a local (with very good taste) and you’ll see a different side to the usual tourist trail.
