The Aventine, with its panoramic views and hidden gems, offers a serene escape within the bustling city, while your next stop symbolizes Rome's political power and religious significance.

Good guide very good itinerary
What a hoot!

Marco was excellent in driving this little car around Rome with us during one of the busiest days of the year. Tens of thousands of Romans were out that day enjoying the weather and bicycle race. Wish we could do it again on a slow day! Saw so many places in a short amount of time!
