Little Rome
On this tour we will escape from the noisy crowds of tourists to enchanting little squares, narrow walkways, and hidden courtyards of Rome. We will start our excursion at the foot of the Aventine Hill, walk through the Roman Rosary, visit the Orange Garden with its beautiful view of Tiber River, Vatican and Trastevere. We can also peek through the famous keyhole of the Grand Priory gate. Later on, we will get a chance to take an ancient lie detector test at the Bocca della Verità. The narrow streets of Ghetto, Tiberina Island and Trastevere, like a wormhole through time, will take us far away from modern reality and will help you to plunge into the medieval atmosphere of the ancient city. Trastevere is a great place to grab a bite and taste some traditional roman dishes, have a glass of fine w**e, and unwind to Italian music in one of the many small restaurants with ample street seating.

I'd like to invite you to one of the most important Roman museums. The National Etruscan Museum of Villa Giulia is famous all over the world for its magnificent collection. Its numerous exhibits were found during archeological excavations in ancient Etruscan lands and donated by private collectors. The great number of ancient works of art is complemented by a display of exquisite jewelry of the Castellani family, inspired by Etruscan and Greek masterpieces.

"To see it crumbling there, an inch a year; it's walls and arches overgrown with green; it's corridors open to the day; the long grass growing in its porches; young trees of yesterday, springing up on its ragged parapets , and bearing fruit: chance produce of the seeds dropped there by the birds who build their nests within its chinks and crannies..."
Charles Dickens "Pictures from Italy"

In a Stone’s Throw from Rome
The Roman countryside is beautiful year-round, but its especially remarkable during the spring and summer months. This is the best time to visit to Roman Castles (Castelli Romani), to admire magnificent panoramas, explore antiquities, eat fresh strawberries and sample exquisite white w**es. I invite you to visit quaint little towns surrounding Rome, the true pearls scattered over the picturesque hills of Lazio. Emperors often left the city for the countryside to escape the heat, popes came to Castelgandolfo to rest and breathe fresh air, and even the commoners would rush to this area when the city is in sweltering temperatures. To reach the Roman Castles, we will travel along the ancient Appian Way, the most important Roman road, surrounded by romantic ruins, beautiful churches and mysterious catacombs. We will visit old monasteries, admire crystal-clear lakes and take a walk through narrow winding streets of beautiful medieval towns.

The Ostia Antica Archaeological Park is extremely beautiful in the spring time. You can take a walk and admire a wide range of well preserved structures, such as the theatre, the forum, the baths and numerous ancient temples and palaces decorated with mosaics and frescoes.

Tivoli – Villa Adriana and Villa D’Este. The Murmur of Fountains.
The Tivoli tour is a beautiful trip not only in the summertime but also in the spring when the first flowers begin to blossom, trees are covered in their first gentle light-green leaves, and even in the fall, when the crowns change their colors. We will enter the grounds of villa of Cardinal D’Este, walk along infinite enfilades of rooms and then stroll through the park to admire the beauty of hundreds of fountains, part of the secret world of the refined art lover. This romantic place was a Pierian Spring for many poets, musicians and painters, and it became a source of inspiration for composer Franz Liszt. During his stay at Villa D’Este he composed three beautiful pieces of music filled with his fascination with the estate. We will also visit the historic center of Tivoli and then move on to another fascinating villa, created much earlier in the 2nd century AD for one of the most particular characters of Roman antiquity – the intellectual and refined emperor Hadrian. Even though two villas seem very different, you will immediately notice the continuity of ancient cultural traditions that have survived through ages and continue delighting us today.

Caravaggio in Rome

I recommend this tour to art lovers who wish to enjoy the atmosphere of the ancient city, where the young and incredibly talented Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio lived, worked, fell in love and embarked on mischievous adventures. I will show you the neighborhood where he created his first masterpieces and where he fought duels. Amongst the luxury palaces juxtaposed with the poor buildings, narrow dark streets, tiny crowded taverns, and ancient roman churches, we will find his greatest works.
