Have you ever noticed how most guidebooks give very little detailed information? Most guidebooks about Rome describe the Colosseum in just a few small paragraphs. For some this might suffice, but for people with a true interest in the places they visit, this is far from enough. Rome is not just a city. It has been the capital of an Empire. It is the home of one of the biggest religions in the world and of course the capital of Italy. There are so many great stories to tell about all the beautiful piazza's, churches and ancient monuments. If you are like me and you like to know all the funny, interesting and romantic stories that are attached to the beautiful places in Rome, this is the book for you. I've collected all these stories through my work as a tour guide in in Rome. For many years it has been my pleasure to guide people from all over the world through this amazing city. My guidebook is completely different from other guidebooks. It is for those people that want to have a much more profound knowledge about the city of Rome and its monuments. In it, you will find detailed descriptions of the Vatican museums, Saint Peter's Basilica, Classical Rome and most other points of interest in the city. I use this book myself as a reference for my work as a tour guide. I hope it will give you a deep understanding of all the beautiful monuments, churches and art in this great city of Rome. In this guidebook you will also find pictures of almost all the places I describe, so you'll know exactly what I will be talking about.
