My wife Carol and I spent two days in Rome last year. I am a history major and have waited my whole life to see "classical Rome". Recognizing that we only had two days, I ponced about on-line and happened upon Rich Brunn. http://www.rome-day-tours.com Sometimes it helps to be lucky. Rich succeeded in making the most of our limited time; we spent one day in "classical" Rome and one day in the Vatican. What he knew about the city, its history and how to see it with the minimal waste of time was truly amazing. To this day, a year later, I still relish every moment we spent with him. If you want a personalized guide to the city, he is worth every euro.
