Rome Tours | Introduction on the Rome Sightseeings | Rome Itineraries
Honestly, we consider impossible to resume in a web site the city of Rome and all the possible tours that people can have in the Eternal City. As if one of the purposes of the tours is to show the history of a city, Rome is 31 centuries old. This is just an introduction and our overview on the Rome Tours and the different Rome itineraries.
Touring Rome is like reading an endless book of history, Religion, Fine Arts, Architecture. Even in the Holy Bible the Apostle St. Paul in his Letters and St. John the Evangelist in the Revelation talk about Rome.
Yet, Rome is now is a city that has two aspects: the Historical one and the Religious one, being the two sides of the same coin. We would say with our modern parameters, the "Pagan" (or "the Laic") side and the "Christian" one, being the cradle of the Roman Catholic Church with the Pope, His Holyness Benedict XVI. Whenever one side of this coin crossed and met the other one, there has been a trouble -e.g. fight- in the last 17 centuries.
However, as for the Rome Tours, our task and challenge is to present different solutions being devided by themes and location. We always consider to do the private tour of Rome (your private tour guide only for you and your party, your family or group of friends/pilgrimage).
