The Vatican is home to some of the world’s most famous masterpieces, but experiencing them without the full force of the daytime crowds makes all the difference.

On our Pristine Sistine tour, you’ll enter the Vatican Museums first thing as they open to the general public with pre-reserved skip-the-line access, exploring with a small group, and an expert art historian who knows how to turn centuries of art and history into stories you’ll actually remember.

Get closer to works by Michelangelo, Raphael, Botticelli, and more. Step inside the Sistine Chapel with the context to understand what you’re seeing. And on most days, take the passageway directly from the Vatican Museums to St. Peter’s Basilica, saving you from exiting and joining the long public queue.

Four hours and some of the greatest art ever created with an expert by your side to help you make sense of it all.

Some moments are made to be savored.

The hush inside a chapel before the doors open to everyone else.

The rustle of a market stall opening before sunrise.

The low murmur of a kitchen that’s been feeding the same neighborhood since before anyone can remember.

Rome’s got an endless list of things you can do, should do, must do, especially if it’s your first time in the city.

But here’s a different kind of list: the fun stuff. The things worth doing when your itinerary has a little wiggle room and you’ve got time to just saunter (which is the best way to experience Rome anyway).

What’s the most underrated thing to do in Rome, in your opinion?



We’ve spent the last 15+ years showing travelers the Italy we love. For VIP access, exclusive experiences, and skip-the-line tours, check out our website. Link in bio.

Venice is a city built on 118 islands, stitched together by over 400 bridges.

You can’t Uber to your hotel, but you can hail a water taxi, and it will carry you down the Grand Canal past palaces that have stood since the Byzantine Empire (only to leave you, suitcase in hand, at the edge of a narrow calle, because no boat can reach a door that doesn’t face the water).

The garbage is collected by boat. The mail arrives by boat. Even the dead are carried to their final rest by boat, gliding across water that has carried Venetians for over a thousand years.

Understanding how this city works isn’t just practical knowledge but half the enjoyment (but ✨will✨ save you headaches and disappointment when you understand how it works and how to enjoy it).

If you’re in town, join us on a Venice tour to places like St Marks, Doge’s Palace, Murano and Burano and more: www.walksofitaly.com

One of Rome’s best day trips is one you might not even be considering: Pompeii and Amalfi.

And there’s good reason to add it to your list.

It’s a single day trip covering two of Italy’s most enchanting places.

Pompeii, a city frozen in time since 79 AD, offers an incredibly detailed window into ancient life. And the

Amalfi Coast delivers some of the most breathtaking coastal views not just in Italy, but in the world.

It’s hard to see and do everything you want on a trip to Italy, but day trips like this let you expand what you experience, cover more ground, and learn deeply along the way, all with an expert guide leading you every step of it.

Did you know pompeii had fast food 2,000 years before we did?

These thermopolia were basically the ancient version of a hot bar (the word actually translates to “hot drinks counter”) in Latin. Archaeologists found soup, meat, fish, and legumes still sitting in the jars, kept warm and ready to grab.

You’ve probably been picturing Pompeii completely wrong.

The people here weren’t all that different from us. They had political graffiti on their walls, “beware of dog” signs outside their homes, grabbed fast food from street counters called thermopolia, and packed into arenas for entertainment.

As it turns out, almost 2,000 years later, people are still just people.

And those famous “bodies” aren’t actually petrified. The bodies themselves decomposed centuries ago, but the volcanic ash hardened around them, leaving a hollow void in the exact shape they died in.

Archaeologists poured plaster into those spaces, and what you’re seeing are casts of their final moments.

Also, this place is massive. You’ll be walking for hours (so water, a hat, and sunscreen, because there’s almost no shade!).

We had a pretty special guest at our Rome Cooking School… none other than Mark Ruffalo!

We loved showing him the ropes of pasta making, and we’re so glad he could join us in Rome.

For those who want more than a day trip to the Amalfi Coast, we have something special for you... Overnights. 🍋

Our guides have spent years uncovering the moments most visitors drive right past, and they’ve designed this two-day journey to let you linger in every one.

An archaeologist leads you through Pompeii’s frozen streets.

A vineyard lunch on Vesuvius pairs homemade courses with wines grown in volcanic soil. Arrive in Positano at golden hour and set off on a private sunset cruise.

The next morning, sip limoncello at a family-run lemon grove perched above the coast, then boat to Cetara, a quiet fishing village still producing an anchovy elixir the ancient Romans would recognize.
