Context Rome - €5 "In the Public Interest" tours...

Very cool. Just got an email from Context Rome that they are offering 6 of these throughout the summer/fall. If you're in Rome...

Still need to make a reservation. But sounds great.

I just got my e mail from them too. What a great idea! Justin case anyone needs a reco I did 2 tours with them on my last visit to Rome & was very happy with my guides. Very knowlegeable and worth the money.

Class organization.

Cool idea to encourage tours of lesser known sights to relieve congestion at the major sights. I would jump on these if I was there. DH and son took a Context tour and loved it!

There is one tour a month like this. They really don't give details of what is included or time for the tour. Does anyone have a way to get more information?

AJ,

If you click on the link sarge provided above, it gives more info. It looks to me like each walk is 1.5 hours and a different site is scheduled for each walk. Very interesting!

If you have further questions, e mail Context. They are very helpful and professional, respond quickly.

enjoy!

For those that Context's once a month won't work, I think some of those sites aren't off limits. and can be accessed at other times.

I think the underground at St. Celia can be accessed anytime during their open hours.

The Pyramid of Cestius can be booked on the Pierreci website.

Thanks for posting this, Sarge. I signed up for their May tour. There are 4 places left, by the way.
