SMALL GUIDED VACATIONS: EUROPE AWAITS!

Discover hidden Rome with a professional photographer during the city’s legendary Golden Hour, then celebrate the city at sunset. Skip the lines at the Vatican you’re your personal guide for a secret room, the Cabinet of the Masks. (Mosaic floors were brought from Hadrian’s Villa.) Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel marks the skyline. Next day, dive into the city like a local foodie, and enjoy a round of tastings.

You’ll have VIP access to the Colosseum, the Forum, and the Gladiator Gate. Hear their tales and imagine the sound of 70,000 voices. Finally, discover the treasures of early Christian Rome, including those of the first Popes. Extraordinary frescoes were recently discovered with scenes of the Zodiac and King Solomon. Experience the Rome you’ve imagined, and more.

My clients were thrilled with their Italy vacation:

"We had an incredible time and want to THANK YOU for setting us up with an amazing experience. For our first time to Europe we had little to no knowledge of how we travel or what we liked so most of this trip was a learning experience. We loved it all! Sorrento is not to be missed! Thank you Ellie for your expertise, once again!"

From my clients: 9 Night Custom Italy

"An unforgettable honeymoon! We saw so many unique and unusual places that each was ranked at the top for various reasons. But, the Colosseum and history were fascinating. The architecture throughout the country leaves me speechless. The hotels and tours were amazing!

Thank you for a great experience and being so accommodating and honest with us. The idea of traveling abroad for the first time was a bit intimidating, but you armed us with invaluable information that made the trip easy and completely stress-free."

This is what keeps me returning to Ellie & Authentic!
