Review "For those Rome visitors, who, post Forum, Vatican, and Colosseum, might be sighing for more sites to conquer, Bill Richards and Silvia Prosperi have good news for you! Their guidebook, 103 Other Adventures In and Around Rome, opens a great new vista for fun and exploration with the family. For Bill Richards' third effort in his travel series geared to families with kids, he teamed up with Roman tour guide Silvia Prosperi to delve into the wealth of things to see and do in Rome and its region of Lazio. Teaching as it inspires, 103 Other Adventures In and Around Rome starts with a chronological organization of sites. This provides a helpful introduction to the millennia of history from Etruscans to Romans to Popes to Revolutionaries. The book then unfolds into what might be described as a three-star menu of activities arranged by individual tastes. Want art? Choose from Classic to Contemporary. Walks, wine, water sports, and more, a complete feast right down to a sweet treat in Rome's century-old chocolate shop! This book is a terrific resource for locals as well as tourists, as Prosperi and Richards have found about every treasure Lazio has to offer (who knew there was the world's fastest zipline twenty-five miles south of Rome?).Furthermore, this is a guidebook that is not only a wealth of material but is user friendly. 103 Other Adventures In and Around Rome breaks down each site by the most common questions any parent (or tourist) would ask: what is it, how much does it cost, how do I get there, and, the all-important, is it worth it? The collaboration of tour guide and parent not only makes each site feel like a must-see but renders the voyage feasible. They strike a perfect balance between understanding what tots, teens, and tweens will enjoy and how to get the most out of the travel experience.After all the impediments of travel during the pandemic, 103 Other Adventures In and Around Rome will inspire (and help!) parents to pack up the kids and move beyond the crowded tourist magnets to plumb the depths of Lazio (did I mention the caves?). Most importantly, the fine work of these authors will remind readers, after a year of living virtually, how rewarding the real experiences of seeing, climbing, swimming, tasting, and yes, ziplining are."Elizabeth LevTour Guide, Art Historian, and Author"Rome has a way of getting under your skin; the more of it you see, the more of it you want to discover. Having lived in Rome for over nine years, I quickly learnt that some of the most exciting parts of the city are not found in typical guidebooks. This book is different. It takes you out of "touristy" Rome and introduces you to adventures that help you to fill historical knowledge gaps and see the city in a deeper way. It's full of ideas for repeated visits. After reading this book, you will be quickly planning your next trip to Rome to explore the next chapter."Karen RyderEmeritus Exploring Rome Group Coordinator About the Author Bi
