Hello! Flights have opened up on British Airways for our dates. I was able to get 2 Business Class/ Club seats round trip for $4,666.00. I had $612 of Avios dollars to credit toward that. They don't have any direct flights but I prefer BA for international travel.
I'm using Marriott points to stay at the Boscolo Exedra Romo with a cash upgrade to a room with a view. I've never been to Rome and without the DH I want to keep it simple. The hotel has already contacted me regarding transportation but I'm going to do some research I my own. I've had too many concierges send me in the wrong direction. The Landmark in London was a nightmare of bad information.
Can anyone recommend a private tour guide? I know I want to take a couple of food walking tours and there was a company in London that has a branch in Rome I'll probably use. Any other Rome tips would be great.
A bunch of us took this food tour last time we were in Italy and I can't say enough good things about it. It was great! http://www.eatingitalyfoodtours.com/rome/tours/taste-of-testaccio/
