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
Some antiques, regardless of private ownership or foreign origin, are considered part of the patrimony of Italy and may not be exported. So before you buy that Etruscan vase find out whether you can take it with you or whether you will have to return to Rome yearly to visit it!

 Artists
(known as Lo Spagnolo, Bologna 1665 - 1747)

A highly cultivated artist whose training was complex and prolonged - he visited Parma, Urbino, and Venice in voyages of study; was in Florence between 1708 and 1709, called there by the Grand Duke Ferdinand - the artist owes his curious nickname to the style in which he dressed as a youth. Among the greatest Italian painters of the times, Crespi is appreciated for his genre scenes, which variously reflect his knowledge of XVI century Venetian tradition, of Carracci, Guercino, and the Northern painters. Unusual angles, a wealth of bizarre details, refined tonal harmonies and convincing effects of chiaroscuro are combined in compositions surprising for their sophistication masked by an apparent simplicity. Active also as painter of history and mythology, he was the father of painters and the head of a successful school of painting.

(From Italian Art Edited by Gloria Fossi, Giunti).

 Monuments
Construction of Imperial Forums continued for a period of a century and a half, beginning from Julius Caesar and finishing with Trajan. With the birth of Roman Empire the old Roman Forum revealed to be too little and not appropriate for the ever-increasing population of Rome and its new role as the capital of nearly all the known world of the epoch. Treasures were brought here from other countries, and the best architects were involved in the creation of this huge monumental area between the Roman Forum and the lower slopes of the Quirinal and Viminal hills. They are compound of five Fora: Forum of Caesar (commercial center), Forum of Augustus (religious and moral center), Forum of Vespasian (cultural center with libraries and museums), Forum of Nerva (connecting Forum of Augustus and Forum of Vespasian), Forum of Trajan (political and commercial center). All the Forums were connected and the whole area was arranged according to a definite plan. In this political- administrative and commercial center of the city was concentrated the wealth from all over the world in form of precious marbles and bronzes, works of art and books containing entire knowledge of that era. During the Middle Ages and the Renaissance the Fora were pillaged for their building material and robbed of their marbles and bronzes, and the area was covered by the constructions. 
At present, only one-fifth of the Imperial Fora is visible and the traffic along busy Via dei Fori Imperiali continues to damage the ancient monuments.
