Local Guide: ROME
Fiamma Passarelli
Fiamma is just amazing! She is the local that actually knows so much more than her training taught her. She really understands the secrets of Rome and will tirelessly take you into its heights and its depths! Fiamma is also highly respected by the other guides in Rome.
ROME's FlyOver Zone
Bernard Frischer, Ph.D.
Before you leave for Rome, fly through Ancient Rome, virtually. This is THE coolest way to envision what ROME looked like during its Glory Days of the Empire. Dr. Frischer has created a world-class environment you can 'fly' through an it will blow your mind!
Tour Guide, Rome
Laura Gangemi
I love Laura's curious mind! She will take you to the ends of Italy to share the grandest and the tiniest of its secrets. Laura is a kind and happy person - the kind that you will want to show you the real Rome. Her love for her country is apparent in everything she does!
