AWESOME TOUR!!! I booked my Vatican Tour with you and it was great! So informative, relaxed, easy and fun. Would highly recommend this company for any other tours too. I was going to, but opted to just hang around Rome for the week and explore on foot alone.

We had the very best experience with When In Rome Tours on our recent visit. Our guide, Silvia, asked us what we wanted to see before we even started out. We only had one day, but she packed everything in it. We walked all over - except the cab to Vatican City - and did...
When Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi was faced with the problem of
Italy's struggling tourism industry, he called on Former McDonalds Italy
Chief Mario Resca.
Resca seems to be of the mindset that Italy's most famous monuments such as
Michelangelo's David and the Colosseum are much like the McItaly sandwich, in the sense that if people don't
appreciate them, we'll take them off the menu.
What do you think? Effective, or stupid? I vote stupid. I think Italy
has only itself to blame for the decline in tourism. The countries now
ranked above Italy are probably there because they know how to treat
tourists, ie not throwing them out of the pantheon ten minutes
before the end of a concert or overcharging them in and around Rome's major
tourist monuments. Once an inexpensive holiday destination, sightseeing in Rome will soon become a luxury that
only the wealthy can afford.
Read on to have a look at the video created by the Ministry of Cultural Patrimony showing Michelangelo's David being carried away by helicopter. I imagine the follow up video will show the Sistine Chapel being carried off in the middle of a vatican tour.
SEMI-PRIVATE TOUR TO POMPEII AND SORRENTO WITH HOTEL PICKUP
An intimate journey back in time to explore the ancient city of Pompeii, buried by ash during one of nature's most devastating volcanic eruptions. In addition to Mt. Vesuvius, we travel to Sorrento to experience a taste of the characteristic Campania region of southern Italy. This tour is ideal for those who would like the flexibility of a small group tour to Pompeii wth hotel pickup, but find private tours to be too costly.
Through the astonishing remains and ruins of this ancient city, you will get a true glimpse of the everyday life during the Imperial Age and imagine the horror felt by these people in their last moments of life before the city was so disastrously buried. After the tour we visit Sorrento, where you will have the option of remaining with the group for a leisurely lunch and/or take time to explore on your own and meet us later on for the return home.

F.A.Q.
Do When in Rome Tours clients get to skip the lines at the Vatican? PRIVATE TOURS: When in Rome has access to VIP entrances to skip the line at the Vatican Museums.
In order to obtain these tickets, a 10 Euro booking fee per person is
charged in addition to the cost of the private tour. Preferred entry is
only offered at 8:30, 9:30, 10:30 and 11:30 AM.
GROUP TOURS: Our group tours are scheduled to depart at 12:20 PM, after peak lines and crowding have gone down. On most days, we walk right in to the Vatican museums without waiting at all. On some days, there is a short wait to pass
through security. On Saturdays line time is inevitable (except by
booking a private tour in advance) and some more

A When In Rome Tours list of 10 mistakes that can ruin your trip to Italy
Well, it might take more than a raging sunburn to actually ruin your
vacation, but below are ten ways in which a perfect trip to Rome can
turn into a disaster. Really, I HATE to say “I told you so” and love to
see what people do their research and avoid finding out what happens as
a result of bad planning.
1. Wearing cameras or money belts around your neck This seems like common sense, a big no-no, right? Still, I see them every time I get onto the Rome metro.
If I had a dime for every time I have seen someone’s money and
passports tucked neatly into a pouch and worn around the neck or on the
outside of their pants while they head to their Vatican tour, I would not be writing this story because I
would be a millionaire sunning my buns on my private yacht. This, my
friends, is a Rome gypsy's dream come true. You will neither see nor feel her as she heads off with all your goods. More...
Easter in Rome
Visiting Rome at Easter is not completely different than during the tourist season in Rome,
with the few exceptions being that the weather is on the chilly side
(but not freezing), crowding is considerably less than in the summer
months, and airfares are significantly cheaper. Below is some
information to help you plan a visit during Easter in Rome.
Rome sightseeing Many will still have their agenda set for Rome sightseeing and Vatican Tours. For those on a second trip to Rome or who have "been
there, done that", there are many attractions in Rome that are great
ideas for a second visit to Rome.
