Orientation Chat (Rome)

We meet in the morning for our Orientation Chat with Petulia from Context Rome. She takes us to the Gran Caffe in Piazza Di Pietra, just around the corner from our hotel. (This becomes darling husband's favorite hang out, requiring a stop every morning!!) The kids and I order the hot chocolate. Petulia gives us lots of good tips for eating as well as just answering our many questions. We decide to have her book our train tickets, as we don't want to have to go to the train station to do it. It was a very helpful hour with her. -- Context client, spring 2005

As part of this orientation chat, a representative of our organization will meet you at your hotel shortly after your arrival. We'll spend an hour with you, first exploring the neighborhood where you are staying and then sojourning to a cafe or wine bar nearby to discuss your itinerary and help you make any last minute plans. In one hour we will try to answer all your questions, from what is the best day to visit certain museums and monuments to when is the next general strike and how it might affect your visit. We'll bring along maps and our guidebooks to the city that will feature information germane to your particular visit. We'll also bring along our cell phone and rolodex in case you want to arrange a tour, make restaurant reservations, buy tickets to an event, or visit one of the private museums in town.

Not sure where to find a certain artwork or what time that church is open? Want to find a romantic, hole-in-the-wall where might eat the meal of your life? Have questions about local politics, radical history, or the latest research? Sit down, have a prosecco, and we�ll try to get you oriented.
