host who lives in Rome, and has had a twenty-five year love
affair with Italy. Contact

A
Note from the Author
I've
noticed that when I take people around Rome and surrounding
areas they usually say that they are seeing the city
and Italy the way someone living here would see it,
that through my ability to translate what is happening
into a language they can understand, my passionate feeling
about the beauty of Italy is transmitted directly to
them. Every one of the myriad people who have experienced
Rome through my eyes has said the same thing, the most
approving statement they could make -- "I can't wait
to come back."

Read what customers are saying about Alan's Tours
"Alan,
we can't thank you enough. We've done London and Paris
on our own (pretty well, I must say) but this was the
best. From breakfast at a local bar to the monuments
to the behind the scenes nooks and crannies we were
captivated by your knowledge and enthusiasm. My wife
and I, our daughter and her friend were spellbound.
You took us down small alleys and into courtyards filled
with ancient statuary that we would never have found.
We saw sites the bus tours miss and the tour guide books
don't even mention. To go into so many churches and
monuments and still keep the girl's attention is pretty
amazing. You did it with your understanding of the art,
architecture, politics of the time, and intrigue between
the Popes and the artists that created Rome. Our time
with you changed our future travel plans for the better.
When you said you knew someone to show us Pompeii, you
didn't say Judith was the best on the planet. How we
envy you all. To talk money, your fees, a little daunting
at first glance, were the best travel investment we
ever made. You made every minute count three times over.
We hope to see you again. On our trip home we decided
to retire to Italy. Really!"
