🇮🇹 ROME, If You Want To! (Available year-round.)
Are you flying in or out of Rome and seek a deeper dive into the Eternal City? Contact Lisa and get ready to travel.
ROMA: The Great Beauty not found in most guide books.
Guided explorations will render you giddy: the Underground Colosseum and City Center; Caravaggio's in situ masterpieces, movie-star fountains and piazzas, an evening in Trastevere, the majestic Pantheon, and the "Talking Statues" of Rome.
Day trip to Lisa's absolute favorites located outside Rome's ancient city walls. A fascinating oasis and historical cemetery near Porta di San Paolo, where poets Yeats and Keats lay. Then, west to Ostia, to the very first Roman Ruins Lisa ever visited, her very first week in Italy all those years ago! Discover why they rival those of a more famous Pompeii.
Activities and itinerary can be adapted. Air travel and ground transport to hotel is not included.

🇮🇹 The New Neapolis. NAPOLI! (Available year-round.)
You must visit Napoli-- and with Lisa. Napoli can seem a bit overwhelming, especially if you don't speak Italian. So, why not let Lisa be your host to ease you into its robust embrace? Lisa's 30-year love affair with Napoli still burns bright and will always be forever young.
Lisa came to Naples to study the theatre of playwright Eduardo De Filippo. And theater is what she got! She jumped into the wild currents of the mythical city and never looked back.
Breathtakingly beautiful, a complex menagerie of light and dark, magic, music, color and chaos, Napoli is resilient, wild and woolly. It seems to be all the rage these days-as Stanley Tucci, Time Magazine, CNN Travel and the New York Times come in for a whirlwind 3-day visit, then boast that they've "discovered" all that's to be experienced in this 3000-year-old open air wonderland.
Lisa works with a variety of hoteliers and accommodations. She's eager to share some of her favorite places (even many of the locals don't know about). There's so much to offer: artist studios; Greco-Roman ruins- above and below; walks on the wild side from Napoli's highest point through narrow streets teeming with Neapolitans; a burgeoning street-art scene and open-air markets; the world's only remaining example of Ancient Greece's interior funerary decor; an inventive in situ masterpiece by Caravaggio; the uber authentic Sanita' neighborhood; romantic Santa Lucia, and, and, and... we haven't even talked PIZZA!
