The Experience

You hear the click of camera shutters and the low hum of our golf cart before you even see the Colosseum. I didn’t expect to feel so close to everything—honestly, I thought we’d be more separated from the chaos, but there we were, right in it. Our guide, Paolo, waved at a street vendor who handed him a tiny espresso (he insisted I try a sip; I nearly choked—Roman coffee is not messing around). The air smelled like stone dust and exhaust, but also something sweet from a bakery nearby. We zipped past lines of tourists sweating under their hats, straight to the edge of the Forum.

At Piazza Navona, Paolo told us how Bernini’s Fountain was once used for summer water fights. He laughed when I tried to pronounce “Bocca della Verità”—I still don’t think I got it right. The Pantheon felt impossibly cool inside after the sun outside; my daughter ran her hands along those ancient marble columns while an old man swept leaves from the entrance without looking up. Sometimes it felt like we were intruding on someone else’s city life, but then someone would smile or nod as we passed and it felt okay again.

The best part? We could ask Paolo to stop anywhere—so when my partner spotted a tiny gelato shop near Circus Maximus, we just pulled over. No rush. Eating pistachio gelato with ruins in view is a weirdly grounding experience; you’re both here now and also somewhere 2,000 years ago. On Palatine Hill, clouds drifted over broken palaces and Paolo pointed out where emperors once walked (he said Augustus liked early mornings best—I get that now). By the time we reached Trevi Fountain, evening light made everything soft and gold. I tossed my coin in but missed the first time—Paolo said that means I have to come back twice.
