More tours.

I am thinking about some tours that might cover things I haven't seen (and therefore don't know what to visit in more detail). While looking for a place to get Vatican tickets (with an interface that works) I stumbled upon Viator. They seem to have a lot of tours - some of which aren't the run-of-the-mill expected stuff and many of them seem to get good ratings & reviews. One can even post your own photos of the tour post-trip.

Trastevere and the Jewish Ghetto Rome Walking Tour $42.21
Christian Rome Tour - Catacombs, Santa Maria Maggiore and Ancient Appian Way $67.23
Rome Hop On Hop Off Double Decker Bus Tour $28.14/24hrs $34.40/48hrs
Tivoli, Hadrian's Villa and Villa D'Este Tour from Rome $87.56

Seems like it's geared only toward men:
Gladiator Lesson $78.18

Not really my cup of tea, but it's an interesting theme for a tour:
Angels and Demons Tour from Rome $87.56

Florence Segway Tour $117.26
Original Florence Hidden Walking Tour $39.09
Sightseeing Tour to the Middle Age Town of Lucca $78.18

If I didn't have my own car, this seems like a great day trip from Florence:
Small Group Cinque Terre Day Tour from Florence

And this is convenient:
Rome (Fiumicino or Ciampino) Airport Private Arrival Transfer
Rome (Fiumicino or Ciampino) Airport Private Departure Transfer
Nevermind. The price is per person...with 8 traveling. I'll figure it out myself when I'm there like I did last time.


I would love to do photography tours in Rome or in Florence as a seasonal job. I think I take decent photos of these kinds of subjects and I know I'm a natural teacher. The only trouble I'd have is remembering all the names and dates for the historical parts of the tour.

Wasn't it some scandalous thing of the middle ages when people were paying for forgiveness/blessings/indulgences?
Papal Blessing at Castelgandolfo $67.23
Audience with Pope Benedict at Vatican City $54.72
Didn't Jesus whip out a whip on the people that were making cost (and therefore cost prohibitiveness) a part of worship?
