The video was really great. We watched it several times before departing for our trip to Rome, and it really gave us great insight into selecting what we wanted to see while there, so we didn't waste any time. Additionally, their web site, which is provided with the DVD, was extremely helpful with answering any and all questions I sent them. I must have sent them 10 e-mails with questions to help me on the trip, and they responded to each and every one, within no more than a day, and the response was usually a full page or two. Really great.

"I purchased this video from another site and was very impressed with how it was done. I am so tired of seeing travel videos that show a bunch of bars or hotels. This was obviously created by people who either live in Rome or really know the city. You go on "tours" with this very nice young lady.

The narrator provides such great detail, then tells you exactly how to get from one site to the next. When I went to their website I was amazed at all of the information they have compiled. This has made my trip planning a joy. I probably will not follow their exact tours, but will mix parts of one with another. This is easy, because they also have Google Maps showing all the sites.

I am always nervous about using public transportation in strange cities. Not with this company. They actually have selected bus routes laid out that can take you almost anywhere you want to go.

The video is very nice and well worth the price. I would advise this for anyone thinking of taking a trip to the Eternal City."

This DVD contains tours led by this very knowledgeable and beautiful hostess, Lucaya. I lost count of the number of sites she visits. She gives you information and history that brings the video to life. You don't just see the biggie sites, she also takes you to places you probably never heard of. What makes it great are the stories behind the sites. Like the ongoing battles between Bernini and Boromini.

To top it off, you then can go to the free website they have for so much more information. Everything from how to use the buses, to how to skip ticket lines and how to save lots of money. Plus you can download the MP3 files to take with you for your own audio tour guide and it even has a guidebook.

I don't think I have ever seen a video tour guide like this. The quality of the video is very good. There are some sites that I wish they went into even more detail, but I understand that you can only do just so much, it is already over three hours long.

Buy this one if you want the best. I wish I had it a few years ago when I first visited, but I'm glad I've got it now for my next visit. Now I'll know what I'm looking at and how to get around this sometimes confusing city.

This is a very good DVD if you intend to travel to Rome or would just like to learn more about the city. It contains "tours" that take in most of the major sites, plus many places that are not well known. It was obviously done very recently, as they have included information on some sites, like the Roman Forum, that has happened in just the last few months. The narrator goes into great detail on many wonderful places in the city, in some cases maybe too much detail, but I'd always prefer more over less. It is like having your own personal guide.

It is not just a DVD, there is also a website ([...]) that goes along with it. On the website you can download, for free, all kinds of really useful information about Rome. They even have a free MP3 audio guide that is the soundtrack from the DVD.  Oh, I almost forgot, on the website they even have a free tour guide book taken from the video script that you can download, take to your local office copy store and have it printed and bound.

We used this on a recent trip to Rome and it was absolutely worthwhile. We did the Colosseum area walking tour and it was perfect. My husband and I are not the guided tour sort and we have a 2 year old, so it makes guided tours a little too much for us. This was the right amount of background information and pace for our family. While we only did the one tour, I read over the other tours and gained a great amount of information for other trips that we did while in Rome. I would highly recommend this book - especially for [...]!
