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
Everyone is required to have a permesso di soggiorno to stay in Italy. Hotels automatically do this for paying guests. Those wishing to stay longer must register at the Questura, Via Genova 2 or at Via San Vitale 15. Take your passport and photocopy of the first 3 pages, 3passport photos, and either € 15 or carta bollata of the equivalent amount bought at a tabaccaio and some proof of income (a letter from your employer on office letterhead is usually sufficient). Lines are long and this procedure may take several attempts before actual success. P.S. if you forget photos, they have a machine on the premises.

 Artists
( Venice 1791- Milan 1882)

Venetian by birth, Hayez owed his early training to the years spent in Rome (1809 -17) as protégé of Canova and Leopoldo Cicognara, living on a grant from the Venice Academy. It was in Rome that the young artist emerged, through strategic participation in important competitions, as a talent able to restore to Italian art its past glory. Skilled at interpreting historical subjects, imbuing them with current interest; a brilliant portrait painter and creator of sensual nudes, Hayez was acclaimed already in his lifetime as the most important Italian Romantic painter, hailed as national glory in years of foreign domination only to be deprecated as taste changed. His merits are recognized today: a refined stylist, Hayez conferred on painting of the historical genre, through his choice of subjects and execution, gripping epic- popular dimensions comparable to those of the historical  romance and melodrama of the same period.

 Monuments
This tower is a significant piece of civil architecture of medieval Rome; it was erected by the Conti family at the turn of the 13th c., and later purchased by Pope Boniface VIII, who fortified it as protection from the Colonna family. The earthquake of 1348 caused the collapse of the fourth floor and the shift in the soil beneath its foundations, which is why the tower still leans sharply. In the 16th c., it once again belonged to the Conti family; from 1619 it was owned by the nuns of St. Catherine), who incorporated it into their convent. Following the restoration and consolidation by Antonio Munoz in 1914, the tower was incorporated from 1927 on into the Mercati di Traiano, or Trajan's Markets.
