While we wait for Old Man Winter to get his game on, we’re thinking of hitting a different kind of parmesan (How Ya Doin’). OvRride Rome this October with us!
For millennia, Rome has captivated hearts and minds the world over. Initially birthed from tribes of nomadic herders, traders, and ferrymen, Rome eventually became, the greatest civilization of the ancient world, controlling the whole of the Mediterranean. Now the capital city of Italy, Rome is a truly modern metropolitan city of it’s own breed, set amongst the ruins of their heralded predecessors. Today, Rome has morphed into an exquisite open air museum, with history abounding at every turn, merging the past and present. It can honestly be a little overwhelming to try and take it in… no worries, we cracked the code!
Our friends Sarah and Giles, formerly of Hostel Tevere in Vermont, pulled all the stops to create an effortless, authentic, fully-immersive Roman experience. Their passion for the city, its people, cuisine and history is never ending–it’s where they met and where the Hostel Tevere was born. Travel with us and see the real Roma, Italy like a local. We’re heading back across the ocean with Sarah and Giles on a seven day and night taste of Roma–OVR style.
Expertly selecting from all of the facets that make Rome so unique–culture, history, art, architecture, politics, food and more–they’ll provide personal insight into the wonderful ‘organized chaos’ that is Rome today. So buckle up and get ready for an OVR trip unlike any other, to a city that is distinctly
and unabashedly its own.
Of course we’re going to see places like the Colosseum, the Pantheon and classic Roman Archs.
But, with Sarah and Giles guiding us through their favorite global community, we’ll be experiencing Roma like locals; eating the best food in the best spots in the city!
