Private Hidden Rome Tour: Uncover the Beauty of the Eternal City

The good news is that we'll be returning to Rome! I know this because our excellent guide Rob told us so when we threw our coins into the Trevi Fountain, and I have total faith in Rob after spending a full afternoon in his very capable hands, learning all about this wonderful city. My family of four were in Rome for just a day before taking a cruise, and we wanted to pack in as many highlights as possible in this short time. Through Eternity Tours provided the perfect solution as we booked our own private guide to lead us on our walk. We met Rob at the Colosseum and started inside. He had already bought our admission tickets, so there was no need to queue, and he expertly took us back in time and allowed our imaginations to picture the days when the Romans "partied" inside this amazing ampitheatre. Next stop was the Forum and Palatine Hill, where the views were simply stunning. The history of this area was also fascinating, as again Rob took us back in time and allowed us to imagine when the whole area would have been bustling with trade. This was a walking tour, and Rob respected our needs to make brief stops for food and drink, including recommending a great stop for a Gelato. As we walked, Rob pointed out buildings and artefacts and told us their story - we never knew Rome had quite so much to offer. The next highlight was the Trevi Fountain. I had told my two children to expect something special and they were not disappointed. We took our turn to throw in our coins like proper tourists! We had asked Rob to finish off at the Jewish Ghetto and again we were not disappointed as we learned the fascinating history of this area and found some of the best restaurants. Our only regret was not having enough time to visit the Vatican City, but we had to make a choice and were delighted by what we saw. I guess it doesn't matter too much, as clearly we hope to return to Rome, so we can see that next time - with Through Eternity Tours leading the way.
