Campo di Fiori is the best market in Rome.   Flower vendors, food vendors, limoncello and Italian olive oil all over the place.   Campo di Fiori is built atop old Roman ruins that tourists never see - except us.   I know how to get access into some behind the scenes ruins and our travelers really got to enjoy them.  

From Campo di Fiori we went on to Piazza Navona where we enjoyed the Fountain of the Four Rivers and the great market scene.   We viewed the famous Carvaggio painting at St. Luigi and had gelato near the Pantheon.   We walked through the streets of Rome to the famous Trevi Fountain the on to the Spanish Steps.   

Rome is incredibly uncrowded this time of year.    The weather is perfect - 65 degrees, sunny with some billowy clouds in the sky.  We usually start the day touring at about 10 a.m. and finish up at about 4:30.   It gives our travelers plenty of time to get to those sights not on the itinerary.    For instance, the Baths of Diocletian are just down the block from our hotel and some travelers wandered over there.

Dinner was great - pizza, pasta, salads and a bottle or two of vino.   It capped another excellent day on our tour of Rome.

Steve, I am glad to see that there was no rain in Rome while you were there.

Italy Video Blog: Romantic Venice
On our last small group tour of Italy, about half the group (4 of us) took a 2-day extension of the trip to Venice.   It exceeed my expectations in that it is more romantic than I could have possibly imagined.   Venice is one of those unique places on earth because it really is a city built into the sea.
