Czarina’s London and Italy Experience – Rome

ROME – We have begun our Trafalgar Tour the 9 day “Italian Dream”. We found our Trafalgar rep at the airport right away to transfer us over to our hotel from Rome Airport. Great group with an awesome tour leader named Antonio! He has been so informative and I feel we can really relax as we tour around the sights. Our hotel, Carlo Magno Rome Hotel, is just a 15 minute cab ride from the center of Rome.

Our first night included a visit to the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain and the Monument of Victor Emaneul II. Rome has a rich history with discoveries on each corner from thousands of years ago.

Spanish Steps

Unfortunately, it’s very crowded, polluted and overrun with graffiti. It did not stop us from enjoying every minute of the scenery. Our second day included visits to the Colosseum, the Forum and the Parthenon. We are constantly warned to watch our belongings as Rome is notorious for pick pockets. We are getting accustomed to life on the bus and the early morning wake ups which are always worth it when you get to see what we have in the past couple days. Next stop… Venice!
