Rome In A Day: The Bite-Sized Tour That Packs A Punch
Paying a visit to the eternal city feels like a rite of passage for anyone looking to experience the real Italy. As the capital of the Roman Empire, it is home to some incredible landmarks, including the Colosseum, Trevi Fountain, Pantheon, Spanish Steps and Vatican Museums. Last year, Rome was voted seventh in a list of the world's most tourist-stimulating cities and overall, is the most populous city in the country. Its seemingly endless lineup of attractions can feel daunting for a first time visitor who is eager to soak up everything Rome has to offer, which is where the benefit of a tour comes in. We spent three days in Rome, and while planning an itinerary ourselves was entirely possible, we didn’t want to spend our limited time with our faces in a map — we are on holiday after all! Unsurprisingly, there are plenty of tour companies available, but we chose Tourist Italy’s Rome In A Day tour offering. We found this had every attraction we were planning on visiting, with the added appeal of a food element. We also liked their promise of keeping the tour groups small, as wrangling more people usually cuts into your already limited time.

Inside The BoTree Hotel, Marylebone
There’s always plenty of buzz whenever a new hotel opens its doors in London, and The BoTree, which made its debut in September 2023, is certainly worth the hype. One of the main reasons is its rarefied location between Marylebone, Mayfair and Soho. Young, stylish and with a purpose-driven approach to hospitality, The BoTree foregoes ceremonial service for an approach that’s decidedly more welcoming and modern. Its mission is to capture Marylebone’ ‘village life’ feel, while reflecting the allure and community surrounding the buzzy capital.
