Hello, we are Toni and Amèlia! We are heading to Rome, and what better way than to learn from young entrepreneurs! This guide is fun and thorough, covering history, itineraries, and recommendations. It caters to all ages and budgets, and for a nominal price, you get a delightful and informative guide while supporting this couple in making their dreams a reality. 🙂 It's cool.

This guide is packed with curiosities, tips, and tricks for navigating Rome. It stands apart from traditional guides and is worth the investment!

Tamara – "Not your typical travel guide"
The only flaw I found is in the writing, as there are occasional missing punctuation marks. However, the content is fantastic! I bought the guide before heading to Rome and read it in no time! It was instrumental in helping me find non-touristy spots in the city. I modified some of the proposed routes to suit my style. My next trip is to London, and I will definitely buy the London guide! 😛
