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
Tickets may be bought from ATAC/CO.TRA.L. windows at start or end of a line, tobacco shops, newsstands and vending machines. The METREBUS ticket cost € 1 and is valid for 75 minutes one metro trip only. It is wise to buy a number of bus tickets at one time to offset the non-functioning ticket machines, or unavailable tobacco shops or kiosks where they are sold. It's also available to have extra bus tickets for night use for the same reasons mentioned above. Monthly passes are available. However, passes cannot be used to travel the airports. Pass holders board at the front of the bus, Italians do not usually show their tessera, but you should be ready to do so if asked. Ticket holders board from the rear of the bus and must validate their ticket on a little orange machine. NEVER board without a ticket or a pass, if inspectors come on the bus the fine being without a ticket is € 30.
The subway or METROPOLITANA runs from 5:30am until 11:30pm. The last train leaves the capolinea at 11:30

(Venice 1683 - 1754) 

Son of a modest sculptor, Piazzetta was at Bologna in the early years of the century, where he met Crespi. Settled in Venice starting from 1711, he was first the proprietor of a successful workshop and later, starting in 1750, the head of the school of painting that was to become the Venetian Academy. Renowned for his large religious compositions.

 Monuments
The name of the church reminds about the former look of this zone all covered by little forest of bay-trees (lauro) in the epoch of its construction. The church is documented since 1117, it was reconstructed in 1449 by cardinal Latino Orsini and entrusted to the canons of S.Giorgio in Alga di Venezia, named celestini. The fire of 1591 caused complete reconstruction which continued from 1594 till 1734, by project of O.Mascherino. When the Celestini were suppressed, the church and relative convent passed in 1669 to the Confraternity of Piceni, who made it their national church and entitled it after Madonna di Loreto. The work over the dome, bell-tower and sacristy were continued by Ludovico Rusconi Sassi in 1727 and finished by N.Salvi.  The facade with a relief Traslazione della S.Casa di Loreto, by Rinaldo Rinaldi, was created in neo-classic forms, by Camillo Guglielmetti in 1857-1862. 
Interior is on a Latin-cross plan and is decorated by 34   monolithic columns of travertine. From www.italycyberguide.com
