We left Montreal for Rome on Aug 6th . I wanted us to enjoy this city before our HOLYLAND cruise . Our flight was on AIR SARDINE CAN ,,,better known as AIR TRANSAT . Food on flight was horrid as were the narrow seats Very difficult to relax or sleep . WE arrived in Rome ,gathered our stuff and met our driver from ROME CABS...punctual,reliable very professional..... to take us to our Hotel in NORTH ROme The SUNRISE .

Hotel was charming,clean . Staff was nice,bathroom was very big breakfast was more than adequate .Lovely hotel I found CHEAp on Hotwire .True far from everything in a residential area but the quiet was very appreciated , WEnt to 2 restaurants in the area which were fine. I enjoyed the flea market in the neighbourhood Bus # 60 brought us quickly into town WE walked for miles everywhere in Rome Saw the main sites . Got lost often ...walked some more ...Rome was nice and VERY HOT Food was so-so .. Pizza and Pasta all the time and NOT cheap to boot . You realize how GREAT we have it here when comparing prices A good meal was over 60 EUROS per person TRANSLATION 90$ ...OUCH Like I said NOT CHEAP!!!!With all due respect to Rome I found food very ordinary ...our Italian food HERE in Montreal is WAY better and not as expensive

Rome cabs picked us up and 6 others for our transfer to CIVITAVECCHIA ...once again reliable,punctual very professional BRAVO STEFANO Read more
