Our driver Fabrizio was the best...He turned up on time, he smiled, he was kind and he knew exactly what he was doing. Not only did he take us to some beautiful and inspiring places around Rome, he literally explained where we were and the history behind the places we saw, which was awesome lol I completely recommend him if you expect the full experience;)

A lovely lady called Gulia took my husband and I on a walk round Rome sampling food and drink from various shops and a superb pasta lunch. If you are going todo this tour I advise you not to eat much beforehand as we finished the tour around 2:00pm and did not eat another thing all day. We had meats and cheese with some wine to start off with and then followed this in a picturesque market square with tasting various oils and vinegars. Roman Pizza and beer were next, followed by a delicious lunch of two different types of pasta. Then followed dessert of either cannoli or tirimisu at another stop off point, ice cream and coffee to finish. Never felt so full. Guila was full of interesting conversation about her city. All in all a great day out ending at the Trevi fountain.

We saw the two churches in a hurry and then our host disappeared. Nobody was there to open the door at the museum, even upon appointment. Rather visit Sassi at your iwn pace and get tickets as you arrive at the location. Not worth to buy the pass.
7. Day trip from Rome: Sulmona, the town of Confetti and Pacentro - private tour
Enjoy your private trip from Rome with your English speaking driver to Sulmona, the town of confetti! Thanks to a long tradition and the presence of quality raw materials (mainly almonds), the town situated in the Valle Peligna is considered one of the major producers of this delicacy widely used during celebrations such as weddings, christenings, birthdays etc. Sulmona is definitely one of those centers in Abruzzo fascinating for its architecture and the atmosphere you breathe. The best thing is to walk by sneaking in the side streets, peeking through the courtyards, stopping to admire the ancient buildings, enjoying that feeling of being in a timeless place. Continue to Pacentro, a tiny medieval village famous to gave birth to the grandparents of the singer Madonna, to the paternal ones of Mike Pompeo, American secretary of state under the presidency of Donald Trump, and to many Italian emigrants to the US.
