05How do I know how to navigate Rome?

You don’t need to!

Each tour is dedicated to just one site, so you don’t need to worry about navigation! However, to get to your tour site, we suggest on foot or by cab. For the latter, make sure you have cash and make sure that the meter starts when you get in. Placards in English with the meter starting price are listed in each cab.
