ON OTHER PAGES....

Why not look too at the "HOMO IN OMNIBUS" section of this web-site?

Let the 'Man on a Bus' show you around Rome...
 


This is designed to give you some 'specimen guided-tours', often from a bus (or at least using public transport) around modern-day Rome.

 After you have explored these pages, you may want to contact me and request a personalised tour of your own for when you next visit the Eternal City! I would be very happy to help.

NOW UP and WALKING.... 

VIR IN VIA

….new pages of walking tours around Rome
 


Aiming to complement the bus-based "Homo in Omnibus" tours, VIR IN VIA will take you through the old medieval streets and alleyways to visit many more places of interest around the city - places you just can't get to on the bus (with refreshment suggestions along the way!)

For more information, click here - or use the link on the left: 

all the tours now have a map of the route they follow, to give a preview of the streets visited.
