A fascinating look at ancient Rome and the Jewish Ghetto. Cecilia's tour illuminated parts of the city I had never seen before, with informed anecdotes and very interesting history. She is knowledgeable and friendly, and speaks English well. I can't recommend her enough - a definite highlight of any visit in Rome.

We enjoyed the tour with the beautiful views. Even tough we’re not real bikers, the tour was easy for everyone. The wine tasting was wonderful. We had an excellent tour trough the wine yards and tasted very good wines. We bought some wines for a very good price. This was an amazing experience!! Thank you for the good service.

We went to a music concert in the abbey and it was exquisite. The nearby walks are also very pleasant but it does get quite busy.

5. Terracotta tour in Fratte Rosa

Come and discover an authentic land, with incredible naturalistic beauties, through the art and traditions of the place; come to Fratte Rosa, a delightful village located on the Marche hills, in an area still to be explored. Fratte Rosa has been the cradle of terracotta for centuries. Its soil, very rich in clay, allowed the flourishing of the art of forging terracotta, handed down by word of mouth from the local potters, since the Middle Ages. Even today in Fratte Rosa the production of popular ceramics continues, through the activity of the shops, custodians of a craft heritage dedicated to the "archaic forms" born in the Middle Ages for cooking and storing food. You will discover the gestures of tradition, observing the manual work of our terracotta craftsmen, observing the "unique" forms of tradition for which Fratte Rosa boasts a primacy of uniqueness.

Inclusions: Guide to workshops

Exclusions: A transfer is not included, therefore you will need your own means of transport
