Welcome to Passeggiate Romane

There is no better way to explore the Eternal City than with a Roman guide!
Your professional guide will allow you to experience Rome through the centuries - past and present, the pagan and the Christian, art and everyday life - and understand how all are inextricably combined.

Your guide can be with you for a half or a full day; your tour can be walking or by limo, minibus or public transport. In addition to tour and sightseeing services, your guide can help you with the language, the food and the shopping. Our guides are Romans who can show you typical aspects of local life. Guides know, and will show you, the real dimension of a city you will love and never forget. Our tours in Rome and our excursions out of the city are designed for the first time visitor, as well as the returning traveler who seeks a deeper understanding of Rome.

Most of the tours within the historical center of Rome are walking tours; however, we will provide our clients with transportation by limo, minibus, or bus if the service is needed or requested.

All tours are private - for your party only!

No queues to get into the Vatican or Coliseum!

Already praised by Alberti in 1436, today deemed the greatest sculptor of the century, Donatello had a long career marked by incessant activity which saw him still working when almost eighty, the tireless sculptor of the Judith and the bronze pulpits in San Lorenzo. A friend of Brunelleschi which whom he journeyed to Rome several times between 1402 and 1404 to study antiquity, he produced hi first independent work in 1416, the St George for a niche in Orsanmichele (Florence, Bargello), whose bas-relief, executed a stiacciato and with the first atmospheric sky with clouds in the background and trees moving in the breeze, represents the first translation into sculpture of Brunelleschi's laws on perspective. He also worked in companywith Michelozzo(1425-34), and was active in Pisa, Prato, Siena, Venice, and Padua, where the high altar in the Basilica is one of his masterpieces.

 Monuments
Villa Montalto, owned by Sisto V Peretti (1585-1590) and found on the Esquilino hill, was the largest private property within the city walls. At the end of the nineteenth century, precisely in 1877, the whole area was divided up to build the Termini railway station, piazza dei Cinquecento and other modern districts. 
The only fountain left after the destruction of the villa, also a work by Domenico Fontana, was constructed in 1938 on the slopes of the Gianicolo are an apt background for via Manara. 
Today the fountain has a large niche surrounded by two pilaster strips with an over-hanging, richly decorated frontal-piece at the centre of which water flows from a lion's head to be collected in a basin protected by six small columns. The statue of a prisoner that gave its name to the fountain has been lost.
