Rome: First Impressions of the Eternal City
About this experience
The first meeting with such an ancient and multi-layered city like Rome is a responsible matter: I will gladly help you truly see and understand the Eternal City. From the famous squares to the ancient Pantheon, from the basilica frescoes to the luxurious Trevi Fountain, you will gain a clear understanding of the center of Rome, 'gossip' with statues, mark the places worth returning to, and hear ancient and not so ancient legends.
What to Expect
Not to get lost in the abundance of sights
This walk is overview: so I will certainly tell you about the foundation of the Eternal City, the life of ancient Rome, street names, as well as the history and architecture of the must-see Roman places. You will 'collect' the most beautiful squares: near Piazza del Popolo you will enjoy the panorama from the Pincio Hill, on Piazza Navona you will learn the history of the confrontation between the great architects Bernini and Borromini, and on the Spanish Steps you will count the steps of the staircase. We will also not forget about the luxurious Trevi Fountain, about Bernini's 'chicken' that looks very much like another animal, and about the Pantheon - the ancient Roman temple.
Art around every corner and the atmosphere of Rome
We will relax in the inner courtyard of the church, examining Raphael's frescoes at arm's length, we will enter the church where Caravaggio, Perugino, Pinturicchio, and Michelangelo left their mark. I will show you where clothes have been sewn for the Pope for over two centuries, and I will take you to a museum-atelier where you can have coffee in an elegant atmosphere surrounded by sculptures.
This will be a walk that will not burden you with boring dates and facts, but will help you understand and love the city: with its secrets and legends, with observations about Roman way of life, gelato with unusual flavors, and tips on how to spend time in the Eternal City.

Disordered presentation of the material, superficial, uninteresting. The same thing was repeated many times using different words.
