Explore Rome with a Private Tour Guide

By Tora Borstrom


Rome, the ancient capital of the mighty Roman Empire which was home to god-like emperors, powerful Christian policy shapers and brawny gladiator slaves battling it out in life and death duels before frenzied crowds. Today, this once glorious diamond in the crown of a sprawling and world dominating civilization is still the place where all traveling roads meet. There are literally dozens of beautiful and interesting attractions to behold in Rome. Most travelers only focus on the main attractions due to a limitation of vacation time. These main sites consist of the magnificent Colosseum, the Roman Forum, the Pantheon, or St Peter's Basilica within the Vatican. However, in order to experience the best of Rome, it is best to book a personal guide who is knowledgeable about the city, history and various sites and who can whisk you from one to another without delay.

Tourists have so many other attractions in Rome to enjoy as they can spend weeks traveling through the city. Two hundred churches including the oldest one in the world - St John in Lateran; Santa Maria Maggiore and St Clement are another perfect examples of the way how Rome can magnetize. Also number of basilicas including ones of the paleo-Christian era, gardens and parks, different museums, and of course Trevi Fountain and the Fountain of Four Rivers. It is possible to list all of them for hours and hours.

How do travelers on Rome tours find such a trusty guide? Traditionally, tour guides are acquired through travel agents or tour operators when booking flights, accommodations, transportation and so forth. However, the tourist isn't put directly in contact with the guide, but has to wait until the time of the tour to meet them. Quite a bit of trust upon the part of the tourist and, unfortunately, things often end in disappointment.

The success and satisfaction that people derive from their holidays and travel plans to various places of the world is often determined by the tour guides. It is the competency and professionalism of these able men and women that you can have one of the best times of your life when you visit Rome. Thus a careful choice is important. Choose and book your personal guide in advance on a newly created web platforms in order to enjoy your vacations in Rome.

Another very important issue to keep in mind is that English is not really popular on Italian streets, so you probably will have to ask for professional help of the tour guides. Rome is a city where you will be able to study Italian fast, and local guide can help you with it as well.
