The best choice for seeing Rome on a busy day
There's so much to see! After my last trip to Rome I regretted not seeing some important historic places. This time, I wanted to get more out of my trip. But how to decide which things I wanted to see in a short time. What was worth a quick look and photo vs those I would want to spend more time at? Enter Emanuele, his golf cart, and bonus - a great group of lovely people. We zipped around quietly as Emanuele shared his enthusiasm for the sights and history of Rome. He made sure we got photos (the only part of my solo trip where I have pics of myself) and had great views. The Trevi fountain was packed but he got us close by/less than a block away to see it by stopping the golf cart in a parking area. I really appreciated that he and other guides do their best to give a good experience and also be mindful. Bonus: On the way back I ended up sampling candy coated chocolates filled with limoncello and making a quick purchase as the others were a few minutes behind. (They didn't even make it home) This tour helped me discover some of the areas I wanted to explore on my own and avoid the ones that would have (for me) been a waste of time. I was also given advice about visiting the Pantheon and I'm so thankful I added it because there was an impromptu choir singing there when I went. Unforgettable. Take the tour on your first day if possible. If you are only in Rome a short time or have a layover this is a must to enjoy the open air museum that is Rome.
