Your hotel and your days
We compare hotels for your style, budget and access needs, then build a day-by-day plan with time for visits, lunch and a pause. We arrange your approved hotel, tickets, guides and transfers.
PERSONAL ROME TRIP PLANNING
Your Rome. We bring it all together.
The right hotel. A thoughtful itinerary. Restaurants you will look forward to. We plan and book your Rome stay around you, with a local welcome and Fred on hand while you travel.

WHAT WE TAKE CARE OF
You choose what matters. We handle the details.
A personal trip, not a fixed group departure. One contact brings your arrangements together, from the first ideas to your time in Rome.
Three choices for every lunch and dinner
Restaurants matched to your tastes, meal budget, dietary needs and that day's neighborhood. You choose your favorites; we handle the approved reservation requests. Meals are separate unless included in your proposal.
A coffee and a local welcome, included
Your neighborhood welcome over coffee is included. A Chic Trip host or local partner helps you get your bearings, with the meeting place and timing arranged together. Airport meet & greet and transfers are separate arrangements in your proposal.
Your app. Your personal contact, 24/7.
Your itinerary, places and reservation details stay together in the Chic Trip app. During your trip, Fred is available 24/7 by message for any question or request. You can start by email or phone and review a PDF without downloading the app.
You approve the prices and conditions before we book. Availability, admission details and any restaurant deposits are checked for your dates. A private guide does not mean private access or no security queue.
THE CHOICES THAT SHAPE YOUR STAY
The right base makes Rome feel different.
We start with how you want your days to feel, then choose a hotel location around it. These are three starting points, not a fixed hotel shortlist.
Pantheon & Piazza Navona
For a first stay with the historic center close by
Build days around nearby squares, cafes and a return to the hotel between visits. We check the exact street, evening noise, vehicle access and walking distances before proposing a room.
Prati
For a Vatican-focused day and neighborhood evenings
Compare a Prati base with your museum plans and restaurant preferences. We allow for journeys to ancient Rome and check the hotel's actual position, rather than treating the whole district as one location.
Monti
For ancient Rome, smaller streets and local dining
A starting point for days around the Colosseum area. Slopes, cobbles, stairs and room access matter: we check them against your comfort and arrange transport where it helps.
Prefer a gentler pace? We can keep one main visit in a day, separate ancient Rome from the Vatican, and leave afternoons open. Tell us about walking limits, steps and rest time so the route works for you.
Already booked your hotel or flights?
Keep them. Send us your hotel, arrival details and existing bookings; we plan the rest around them. Your proposal identifies our planning and support fee separately from any new travel arrangements. There is no need to rebook your hotel through us.
Plan around my bookingsStepping off a cruise in Civitavecchia?
We connect your port arrival with a Rome stay: an agreed transfer, hotel, lighter first day, visits and restaurants, then your onward departure. Share your ship, docking date and available nights. A few days in Rome need a different plan from a same-day shore excursion.

LET’S START WITH YOU
What would make Rome a great trip for you?
Tell Fred your dates or season, who is traveling, your pace and anything already booked. A special wish, an uncertain budget or just a first idea is a good place to start.
Book a free call Email Fred about RomeA few questions before we talk.
Is this a package or a personalized trip?
Your trip is personalized. The six-day programme is an example, not a fixed departure or a required length of stay. We adapt the route, hotels, visits and restaurant choices to you. Your written proposal confirms the scope, total, payment schedule and cancellation terms before you commit.
Will you book for us, or just send recommendations?
We arrange the agreed hotel, visits, restaurant reservation requests and ground transport after you approve the prices and conditions. We explain exactly what each admission or guide covers. International flights remain booked directly by you; we can help you think through the route and timing.
How much will our Rome trip cost?
The sample stay shows three indicative budgets by hotel and experience style, both per person and for two travelers. They are starting points, not live quotes. Your dates, rooms, visits and transport determine your own total. If your hotel is already booked, we quote the remaining planning and support separately from additional travel costs.
Can you plan around limited walking or a slower pace?
Yes. Tell us your comfortable walking time, stair limits, rest needs and any equipment dimensions. We use that information to check hotel access, vehicle suitability and visit formats with the relevant suppliers before confirming the arrangements. There is no assumption that every Rome hotel or site is step-free.
Will we have someone to contact in Rome?
Yes. Fred is available 24/7 by message during your trip for any question or request, with local hosts and partners helping deliver the arrangements in Rome. Your neighborhood welcome over coffee is included. Additional bookings or changes can carry costs, which we explain before you approve them. This is personal support, not an accompanying guide or an emergency response service.
Can you connect Rome with Florence, Venice or France?
Yes. We plan the whole route around your dates and pace, with realistic transfer time and fewer hotel changes where possible. Hotels, rail travel, drivers and other arrangements are itemized in your proposal rather than automatically included in the Rome example.
