We spent a magical afternoon viewing 3 beautiful basilicas that most tourists do not take the time to see! Each one of these basilicas has significant meaning to the Roman Catholic church, to the religious life of Rome, and to the history of Rome. Each one was a pleasure to see without all the overcrowding of St. Paul's in the Vatican. Maria Rosaria met us at our hotel near the Piazza di Popolo with a Mercedes van and driver. We were able to travel efficiently from place to place, and we knew that we never would have been able to see all 3 churches in one afternoon if we had to navigate there on our own. Maria Rosaria is very knowledgeable about the history and art of all 3 basilicas, and her English is excellent. She was very flexible in the timing of each of our visits, conscious of our questions and interests while moving us through each place so that we saw all the treasures they offered. She welcomed our questions, and each of us thought she was a pleasure to spend time with. The van was comfortable and the driver was very concerned about our comfort and helpful with loading and unloading us from the vehicle. When we returned to the hotel, Maria gave us some restaurant suggestions and told us which tourist restaurants to avoid, which we appreciated!
