Itinerary

Day 1

“Renaissance and Baroque Rome” tour will lead your through Rome's rebirth and decadent artistic treasures inspired by the likes of Michelangelo, Bernini and Barromini. Our tour will pay testimony to the city's grandiose palaces, squares, sculptures and fountains. Our tour will begin by visiting the church of Santa. Maria della Vittoria, where you can admire Bernini's sculpted marble masterpiece, the “Ecstasy of St. Theresa”. Continuing on up the Quirinale Hill, we will stop inside the church of San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane, the sacred space being Borromni's architectural showcase. Next we will lead you further up the same hill to another Bernini architectural wonder, Sant'Andrea al Quirinale before reaching Palazzo del Quirinale, the “Capitol Hill” of the Italian Republic and residence of the country's president. After enjoying the hilltop view, we will then take you to the church of Sant'Ivo alla Sapienza. We will then take to you the Baroque church of Sant' Ignazio. Our tour ends inside the Vatican.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud

It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:

  • It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
  • If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
  • Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.
