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!

 Artists
(Florence 1835 - 1901)

The son of a refined veduta painter in Granducal Florence, Signorini painted and drew even as a  child. He copied Dutch and Flemish landscapes in Florentine collections, inspired by them with a lasting predilection for the typical and the local. His apprenticeship was Romantic; painting landscapes and views of the Tuscan countryside, he experimented with the historical genre. An assiduous frequenter of the Caffè Michelangelo, he turned increasingly strongly in the naturalistic direction and adopted the technique of the macchia. Representation was entrusted to an assembly of tones, in the absence of any chiaroscuro elaboration. A volunteer with Garibaldi in 1859, Signorini was in Paris in 1861, when national unification had now been achieved. His passionate homage to regional landscapes, costumes and populations is similar to that of the Barbizon landscapes artists.

 Monuments
The church was built over another Roman construction. It was restored in the end of the 16th century by G.Della Porta. Interior is represented by a hall with a rich golden ceiling and various Cosmatesque works like a high altar, the bishop's throne, the ambo, the candelabrum, and the fronts of the side-altars. The apse mosaic was designed and executed by C.d'Arpino. Beneath the church is a Roman construction with the black-and-white pavement mosaics. Centuries ago a hospice-hospital was annexed to the church, but it disappeared some time ago. In front of the facade is a granite column, which served as a sign for pilgrims to stop here and have some rest (it was usual for ancient churches).
