Dear guests, my name is Alessandro Vagnoni, and I was born and raised in Rome. I'm a professional driver and official "local guide" of Rome, and I planned this City Sightseeing for all those travelers with limited time available but eager to know the best of Rome in one day. My experience and passion led me to identify 12 spots in 7 hours. It is a lovely drive with an A/C Mercedes vehicle around the most significant places of Rome, with stops for pics and explanations about the sites, exclusively from the outside. Your professional English-speaking driver-guide, one person only, has a deep knowledge of Art history and Archaeology, and can explain all the listed sites and monuments and the still surviving ruins. You will be helped with the local language and informed about local food, shopping, and much more. You will capture the real essence of the "Eternal Rome", a town that you will love and never forget, and finally, you will know the meaning of "All the roads lead to Rome".
