The Traveling Professor has been running small group tours to Italy, including Rome, for about 5 years now. Although Rome is one of the most fascinating cities in the world, it has its issues. There was even a recent article in The New York Times (see it on my FB page) describing the problems Rome is facing. For my take on the issues, see my Rome blog post.
The Traveling Professor runs several small group tours to Italy every year. We go to Rome, Florence, the Amalfi Coast, and Venice. We even do tours to The Veneto region which encompasses Padua, Verona, Vicenza, and Lake Garda. Travelers complain that Italy has become too touristy, too crowded, and too expensive. Listen to what I say about making your trip to Italy more pleasant.
We just returned yesterday morning from a 2-week tour with nine travelers. We did our "Grand Tour" of Italy to include Rome, the Amalfi Coast, Florence, and Venice. We saw the great sites of Italy, ate some delicious meals, but the best thing about our tour were the friendships we made. Check out the blog post for a quick overview to see what our ambitious small group did in Italy, where we stayed, and what we ate.

Generally, there are two forms of public transportation in most cities, the bus and the metro. In Paris, the metro is as sophisticated as can be found. In Rome, for now there are only 2 metro lines so the buses are much more widely used. But on any tour to Paris or to Rome, I always prefer using the bus, and I will tell you why in this special Paris and Rome travel blog post.
Let's address a very practical question in this Rome blog post: how to get to the Rome city center and your hotel from the Rome airport. We are going to assume that on your tour to Rome you will be arriving at Rome Fiumicino airport. On The Traveling Professor small group tours to Italy, we provide private limo pickup. However, if you are on a tour to Rome by yourself, we will talk about public transportation options and private ways to get into the city.
