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!

 Tips for tourists
All airport and railway stations, of course, have rest rooms, often with attendants who expect to be tipped (10cents to 30cents is fine). Bars, nightclubs, restaurants, cafes, and all hotels have facilities as well. Public toilets are also found near many of the major sights, in particular, there are facilities at the Spanish Steps that you may want to know about. Usually they are designated as WC (water closet), donne (women), or uomini (men). The most confusing designation is signori (gentlemen) and signore (ladies), so watch those final i's and e's!

(Prato c.1457-Florence 1504)

The son of Fra Filippo and the nun Lucrezia Buti, in Spoleto as a boy with his father, at the latter's death he assisted Fra Diamante in finishing the frescoes in the Duomo. From 1472 in Florence he was dipintore with Sandro Botticello, a former pupil of Filippo's, in a fruitful alliance lasting ten years. Becoming indipendent, he was assigned important projects such as the frescoes in the Brancacci Chapel. For the powerful patrons he painted works of capital importance for the art of the time, such as the Vision of St Bernard for Francesco del Pugliese (now in the Badia Fiorentina) and the great altarpiece for the Council Hall in Palazzo Vecchio (Uffizi). Thanks to Lorenzo the Magnificent, he frescoed the Carafa Chapel in Rome, dense in classical allusions. In 1502 he completed for the Strozzi the frescoes in Santa Maria Novella, now displaying the symptoms of the new century's disquiet.

 Monuments
This is the Cathedral of Rome and it is named after the Most Holy Savior and the Ss. John the Baptist and John the Evangelist. The basilica that was built under Constantine, which had a layout not unlike that of the original St. Peter's, was erected between ca. A.D. 313 and 318. The basilica was damaged and restored more then once; under Pope Sixtus V the Loggia delle Benedizioni was added, and the transept was decorated under Pope Clement VIII; Francesco Borromini remodeled the nave and aisles for Pope Innocent X on the occasion of the 1650 Jubilee Year. The spectacular façade is by Alessandro Galilei (1732-35). Among the funeral monuments and cardinals' tombs inside, worthy of note is the recumbent statue of Riccardo Annibaldi by Arnolfo di Cambio (1276). Of great interest is the suggestive cloister (13th c.) with its elegant columns adorned with mosaics.
