Appia Antica, white night of music and exhibitions

ROME – A full moon, milky, tinged with golden spots, which stands on the straight of ancient paving stones, hovering on monuments, towers and mounds of legendary fame. “It takes thousands of years to make an evening like this.” A great truth, that the slogan of the poster of the ‘white night’ at the start of the Appian July 5 to 7. A veritable feast that will last three days, or rather three nights. After its debut last summer, returns in its second edition, “From Dusk Till Appia”, the festival dedicated to the ancient consular road conceived and organized by its director Rita Paris under the auspices of the Superintendence of Cultural Heritage of Rome.

Your feedback is very important

The best way to experience Rome Reviewed on 3 may 2013 NEW   I rarely write reviews but had to write this one since I feel that sincerity and hard work should never go unrecognized. Last January, my husband and I planned the impossible….we planned a trip to Italy with 4 adults, our two set of parents and an infant! While trying to arrange tours, we came across Max in tripadvisor. He stood out since not only was he prompt with his replies but he also made several suggestions which saved us money. Such honesty was definitely not easy to find. We decided to entrust him with our rome night tour and imperial rome tour.

“No other way to see Rome than with Max!”   Reviewed on August 20th 2012   This was our first trip to Italy and it exceeded every expectation. We had a two-day tour of Rome with Max and it was so enjoyable. I couldn’t imagine our trip to be so complete without this tour. In only two days, we got to see all the highlights of Rome.   We were traveling with my 76-year old grandma and Max was very accomodating. He was able to go at our pace while still being able to share all the history of the city with us. He knows all the short cuts, best parking spots for short walks, and special places of the city to share with us. Max is very knowledgable about all things Italy and is just very pleasant to be around. We didn’t have to wait in lines and were in good hands with Max. Having a private tour guide, we were able to engage and ask lots of questions and never felt unconfortable or have to worry about getting

Latest review from Mc Nichol's family

From tripadvisor – reviewed on july 28th 2012 ItalyRomeTour and Max Parini made our trip to Rome and Italy the trip of a lifetime and a trip we will never forget. This was our first time to Italy and my children’s first time to Europe. I planned very cautiously and asked around for referrals and for advice from friends that had recently gone to Italy with their families. Max was the most highly recommended of all. I knew that hiring a private tour guide was the way to go, especially since it was not that much more than doing the cruise line’s excursions. So I knew right away that it was well, well worth it to pay a little extra to have a private tour. Boy, was I right. Max and his company more than exceeded my already extremely high expectations based on his reputation. Let me begin with the planning stages….I have been in touch with Max since February (trip was in July). He was extremely responsive and comfortable to deal with right off the bat. I am the

From Tripadvisor: “MAXimize your time in Rome with the most knowledgeable and caring tour guide in Italy!”  Words can’t describe the incredible time we had with Max. Rome in a day was everything we hoped and was so much more than we expected. Max makes the tour come to life with his willingness to share his in-dept knowledge of the history and art of Rome. He actively engaged all the members of our group making everyone feel like a friend was guiding us thru Rome. This was especially challenging with two non-English speaking members of our group, but Max worked with us as my wife translated.
