About the Rome Shopping and Artisans Walk in Rome
Context's Rome Shopping and Artisans walk is a completely customizable experience with one of our personal shopping experts.

Note these exclusive insider shops that redefine the term personal service are practically impossible to find on your own because many of them don't even have storefront signage or telephone listings!
Regardless of your focus, our role remains the same: to lend the experience of one of our shopping mavens--someone who knows these stores inside and out. While some time can be spent recounting the history of fashion and craftsmanship in Rome, the primary purpose of this time is to aid you in your shopping ventures. We do not take commissions from shops and do not offer discounts on any of the stores. We give you our expertise on Rome and facilitate communications between you and shop assistants.
