Welcome to Passage to Roma

This is the companion site to our Passage to Roma - Video Tours of Rome DVD series.

When we decided to begin creating the entire "Passage To" series, we wanted to go far beyond normal travel videos. We did not want to focus on bars, restaurants and hotels. Instead, we wanted to get into the reasons people visit places...to see things, to learn about them and to make their trips as enjoyable as possible. We hope to answer the questions that people constantly ask. We want to show the sites that are ignored or missed by the casual tourist. We wanted to show how to save both time and money. We believe we are accomplishing all of that.

With this website we hope to provide you with a central point for information about Rome. There is a huge amount of information on the web about this wonderful city, the problem is that it is scattered all over the web. We are trying to put it in one place.

It is not necessary to register for this website, as most areas are freely accessible.

The Library area gives you access to categorized information that you can view or download. These include maps for public transportation and official Rome tour brochures.

The Online Video Tours are streaming, sample videos taken from our DVD tours. These allow you to see several minutes of each of our tour videos and a link to where you can purchase the entire DVD set, in either NTSC or PAL formats. These are now available for for download on Amazon. Let's face it, traveling around any place you are not familiar with can be a daunting task. We hope to make that much easier.

The Referrals area is dedicated to those companies and individuals that we have had personal dealings with and wish to highlight them. Many of these companies have decided to sponsor us in our "Art, Architecture and History of the Churches of Rome" video series that is now in production. These are not advertisers and they do not pay for being placed here.

The Photo Gallery is an ongoing project for photographs in and around Rome.

Please be aware that we are continually building and adding to this site. You will see certain features and functions change, we do this to hopefully make it easier for you to find information. This will take a while, but then Rome wasn't built in a day.

Thank you and we hope you enjoy the both the Rome travel video and this site.

Ciao!
