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
Call the U.S. Embassy (tel. 06/6741), which will provide a list of doctors who speaks English. All big hospitals in Rome have a 24-hour first-aid service (go to the emergency room). You will find English-speaking doctors at the privately ru Salvator Mundi International Hospital, Viale delle mura Gianicolensi 67 (tel. 06/88961). For medical assistance, the International Medical Center is on 24-hour duty at Via Giovanni Amendola 7 (tel. 06/4882371). You could also contact the Rome American Hospital, Via Emilio Longoni 69 (tel. 06/22551), with English-Speaking doctors on duty 24 hours a day. A more personalized medical service is provided by Medi-call, studio medico, Via Salaria 300, Palazzina C, interno 5 (tel. 06/8840113).
Staffed by a small core of administration who are available 24 hours a day, it can arrange for qualified doctors to make house calls to your hotel (or wherever) anywhere in Rome. In most cases, the doctor will be a general practitioner who's well versed in either prescribing an appropriate medication or, if the problem is most serious, referring a patient to a qualified specialist.
Fees begin at around €100 per visit, but can go higher if a specialist or specialized treatments are necessary. Frankly, paying this organization's fee and waiting for a doctor to arrive at your hotel room is usually a lot more convenient than waiting in the emergency room of any hospital.

 Artists
(Cenni di Pepe or Pepo, Florence 1240?-1302)

For its expressive power and the intense colors that heighten the plastic effect of the bodies, Cimabue's painting marks a progressive detachment from Byzantine flatness toward an independent figurative language that was at last Occidental, already partially launched in Florence by another highly original master, Coppo di Marcovaldo, who died in 1280. The fortune of Cimabue, overshadowed by the rising star of Giotto according to the platitude reported by Dante, is however clouded first by a lack of documents and then by recent disasters which have severely damaged some of his masterpieces: the Crucifix of Santa Croce in Florence (c.1275), irreparably spoiled by the flood of 1966 (ironically enough, it had been safe in the Uffizi Gallery until a short time before); and the Ceiling of the Evangelists in Assisi, some extraordinary details of which were destroyed by an earthquake in 1998. Of his activity as artist, only two dates are certain: in 1272 he was in Rome, and between 1301 and 1302, the year of his death, in Pisa. Surviving in addition to the Assisi works, and to some drawings for mosaics in the Pisa Cathedral and the Florence Baptistry, are panel paintings of some of the most intense Crucifixes and Virgins in Medieval Art.

 Monuments
Pope Pious IV Medici (1558-1565) established the habit of the fountains known as semi-public when the pope granted water to those private citizens who promised to build and pay for a public fountain near his property. The name of Via del Babuino was changed to Via Paulina at the end of the 16th century when a rich merchant from Ferrara, Patrizio Grandi, obtained water for his property and fields by building a public fountain in the area. A statue of Satyr stands over the rectangular, grey granite, Roman thermal basin. Grandi donated it but the people did not like it and likened its features to a baboon so in 1581 the road changed its name to via del Babuino. The Baboon is one of the famous Roman talking statues.
