F.A.Q.
Do When in Rome Tours clients get to skip the lines at the Vatican? PRIVATE VATICAN TOURS: When in Rome has access to VIP entrances to skip the line at the Vatican Museums.
In order to obtain these tickets, a 5 Euro booking fee per person is
charged in addition to the cost of the private tour.
GROUP VATICAN TOURS: Our group tours are scheduled to depart at 11:30 AM, after peak lines and crowding have gone down. On most days, we walk right in to the Vatican museums without waiting at all. On some days, there is a short wait to pass
through security. On Saturdays line time is inevitable (except by
booking a private tour in advance) and some more
SEMI-PRIVATE TOUR TO POMPEII AND SORRENTO WITH HOTEL PICKUP
An intimate journey back in time to explore the ancient city of Pompeii, buried by ash during one of nature's most devastating volcanic eruptions. In addition to Mt. Vesuvius, we travel to Sorrento to experience a taste of the characteristic Campania region of southern Italy. This tour is ideal for those who would like the flexibility of a small group tour to Pompeii wth hotel pickup, but find private tours to be too costly.
Through the astonishing remains and ruins of this ancient city, you will get a true glimpse of the everyday life during the Imperial Age and imagine the horror felt by these people in their last moments of life before the city was so disastrously buried. After the tour we visit Sorrento, where you will have the option of remaining with the group for a leisurely lunch and/or take time to explore on your own and meet us later on for the return home.

Danielle was so helpful, calm and reassuring when our flight was delayed getting in to Rome and we were afraid we would miss her driver up at the airport! The transfers from the airport to Rome, from Rome to the cruise ship, from the cruise ship back to the airport were...
Question: What Italian event would
noted Italy travel writer Pauline Frormmer describe as “a
combination of the Super Bowl, Mardi Gras, and World War III?”
Answer: Italy’s one and only Palio Di Siena.
The Palio is not just any
old horse race. It is so much more than that. This is a
700-
year-old Italian tradition, unlike anything I have ever seen in my life.
After hearing
about il Palio (and never one to think twice about a quick break from sightseeing in Rome to embrace new experiences in Italy), a horse race that has an “anything goes”
mentality in the pursuit of attaining the title, my roommates and I
decided we absolutely had to see this race for ourselves. On July 2nd,
we
hopped on a train making our way up to the town of Siena. This town is
set in the rolling hills of Tuscany and still holds true to its medieval
roots through its impressive medieval structures such as the Palazzo
Pubblico with its imposing bell tower. Go to Article

A When In Rome Tours list of 10 mistakes that can ruin your trip to Italy
Well, it might take more than a raging sunburn to actually ruin your
vacation, but below are ten ways in which a perfect trip to Rome can
turn into a disaster. Really, I HATE to say “I told you so” and love to
see what people do their research and avoid finding out what happens as
a result of bad planning.
1. Wearing cameras or money belts around your neck This seems like common sense, a big no-no, right? Still, I see them every time I get onto the Rome metro.
If I had a dime for every time I have seen someone’s money and
passports tucked neatly into a pouch and worn around the neck or on the
outside of their pants while they head to their Vatican tour, I would not be writing this story because I
would be a millionaire sunning my buns on my private yacht. This, my
friends, is a Rome gypsy's dream come true. You will neither see nor feel her as she heads off with all your goods. More...
10 REASONS TO TAKE A TOUR OF THE VATICAN
In the years that I
have been working as a Rome tour specialist I have heard some bizarre
reasons people give for taking or not taking tours. Finally I decided to
set the record straight, but not because I want to sell more Vatican
Tours (although if this were a by-product of my opus, I would not
complain). More importantly, I want to make the tourist experience in
Rome as good as it can possibly be by providing a few key points of
information which people can use to help them decide whether to tackle
sightseeing in Rome and the Vatican on their own or with a good Rome
tour guide. These
are the top reasons why people usually forego Rome tours, and why these
people will probably regret it.
1.
My husband/mother/friend is ½ Italian. And? Does that qualify
them to act as your tour guide in Rome? Many tourists in Rome know more
about the city and its history than the majority of Romans themselves!
Just because someone has Italian heritage or speaks a little bit of
Italian does not mean they should be leading tourists around.
2. We have a Rick Steves book. Rick
is not the God of travel. More importantly, a book
simply cannot replace a human being who will prevent you from losing
your way and bring the artwork to life for you. more
