WHY TO TAKE A PRIVATE TOUR OF ROME ?

 

Unfortunately, not everyone is a candidate for a tour in Rome. In fact, some people don't like the notion of tours at all. They perceive touring as an unpleasant form of travel, with limited freedom, forced companionship and uncomfortable bus rides. They prefer, indeed, controlling their own travel experience rather than having someone else doing it for them.
Yet many others actively seek out private tours in Rome also because they are unsatisfied of a group experience.


Every year at least 7 million of tourists visit Rome and its treasures.

“When I am on vacation I don't want to worry about anything" it's the comment commonly heard from tour participants. Indeed travel can be an exhausting task. Tours help cushion clients from hassles. A good tour guide in Rome solves problems long before tour members can become aware of them.


Everyone has experienced how a wrong turn on a highway or an ill- chosen hotel can spoil a vacation. A well designed and conducted tour minimizes wasted time (that’s my personal opinion): it ensures that the client sees all the essentials in a convenient, efficient manner.
A customized tour of Rome is rarely advertised outside the group. Instead potential tour participants find out about it via flyers, a meeting, word of mouth, tour testimonials.
When we meet our customers at the hotels in Rome before sightseeing we always think to the following priorities:

- Focus on the persons: good tour guides talk to an audience who is sympathetic. We talk to one person and then expand our attention to the others so as not to seem obvious to everyone else.

- Where we find our energy: adrenalin never makes us nervous because we love our job and it helps sharpen our commentary.

- We are specific: people need constantly to know more about Rome and we pay careful attention to what we say in order to ensure the quality of our commentary and the synthesis of the main highlights of Rome. This is because in 3 hours you have to sum up 3000 years of history no matter what tour of Rome you are leading that day.

- Your curiosity is our advantage: few unpretentious personal observations or revelations can humanize a tour of Rome. Nothing irritates more than commentators who place themselves on a pedestal, in a pulpit, or on a soap box.
