Hi! my name is Frank, I was born in Rome very close to the Vatican and I know this city since my birth. I love Rome
and I'm sure you'll too, especially if you want to improve your faith or simply your culture.
I worked for Thomas Cook travel agency in 1969 as interpreter, and later for almost 25 years, I traveled all over
the world as cabin attendant in civil aviation.
I have a 3 years master specified on Cristian Pilgrimages, at the "Pontificia Universitas Lateranensis",
the Vatican University in Rome; my graduation thesis was concerning the Pilgrimages of St.Ignatius of Loyola.
I am a Catacomb guide since 1997 in English and French languages and I also guides a lot of non christian groups.
 

What I want to propose is a personal way to visit Rome  in  a combination of one two or more days in order to see not only
the classic places, but also the almost unknown ones even out the city. For instance suppose you choose combination 4 and you want to visit St.Paul Basilica: why don't you go to the Three Fontain Church, where you can see the column where he was decapitated and where his head jumped three times? Why not to visit the prison where he was jailed with Peter? And the chains of the Apostle? During this day tour do you know hou many things you'll see?
The Basilica of St.Paul,the Three Fountain Church, the defensive walls of the city made in the third century,the Piramid of Caio Cestio, the Necropoli of the first century close to the Basilica, the Coliseum, the Costantine Arch, and a lot  more I'll be placed to show you during the tour.
Yes because Rome is a city plenty of details and secret places that you should  know,and even if you visited the city several times, it will be like the first!And now some of  the suggested tour:

Morning :
Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel St.Peter's Basilica.

Afternoon:
lunch sigthseen of Rome from Gianicolo hill, then view of  the Appian Way, a visit to the Catacombs, where you can see the foot-print of  "Quo Vadis" story and the Church of Santa Croce in Gerusalemme, where you will revere part of the Christ's Cross, one of his nails and thorns.

Morning:
The Basilica of St John in Laterano, the  first Baptistry of the Church  of  Rome dated IV century A.D., the Holy Steps of  Pilate palace, then Santa Maria Maggiore's Basilica with S.Prassede where you may admire the Crib of Jesus and a piece of the column where He was flagellated.

Afternoon:
lunch, Spanish steps, Trevi fountain and St. Silvestro Church where you can see the head of St John the Baptist the famous image of the Madonna Miracolosa and drink the miraculous water in a nearby sanctuaty.
 
 

Morning:
The Basilica of Santa Sabina, the Aventino and Palatino hill, the first deacony of the Church of Rome with the famous Mouth of the Truth, but also the grill where St Laurence was martyrized.

Afternoon:
lunch, and visit the baroque style Church of St Ignatius of Loyola and La Chiesa Nuova with a promenade to Piazza Navona and Pantheon.
 

The above mentioned combinations are just like a meal, so you can change them  in order to visit some place even not included in the tour or swap it if  they are lasting  the same time, what I'd like to remark is that the tour areas are not so big  in order  to avoid the heavy traffic of the city. Yet you'll have enought time for shopping or walk. What about out of Rome! I also very much suggest a one day tour visit to Bolsena and Orvieto which relate with the Eucarist miracle of 1263 also frescoed in the Raffaello's Rooms at the Vatican Museums.
I'll be pleased to go with you to Assisi to venerate the tomb of  S.Francesco, or to see the intact body of Santa Rita in the middle age town of Cascia, in an atmosphere of silence and  prayer!
Around Rome there are hundreds of sanctuaries that deserve to be visited and  I know a lot of them especially those dedicated to the Virgin Mary! The Sanctuary of  Divino Amore is the most famous one; 9 miles away the city, has a story which also relates with the 2nd world war and the Allies. This sanctuary could be visited in a half day tour with the Memorial War  Cemetery of Anzio, in the western coast where the are 5700 U.S. soldiers tombs.
The monastery of Montecassino needs a full day visit and is not only important because of the story of St Benedict, but also because the 2nd world war famous battle. Last tour I propose is a two days visit to San Giovanni Rotondo and Petrelcina the village of Padre Pio, the Franciscan monk (1968) famous all over the world for his stigmata and miracles. There is a lot more to say about Rome and even if you're not interested  about churches and saints you'll be enriched a lot on personal knowledge!

I'll wait for you.
Families welcomed!
