A marathon is a unique form of Italy tour, which allows you to see much of the beautiful city of Rome during the 26 mile trek that begins and ends at the most impressive building the the city, the Colosseum. The path is lined with rustling foil blankets and runners stretching their tired limbs, but above this you see the spending archways of a building that has stood In Rome for almost 2,000 years.

This is enough to banish the fatigue for most. Unlike the London Marathon, Italian runners are dressed in serious sportswear, including plasters over the nose and special knee-high socks to prevent cramps. Some of them even sing cantos while running, which always cheers up those around them. The crowd lining the route cheer on the runners, and the scenery is even more inspiring. The city center is closed off so you have the unique opportunity to enjoy traffic free streets along with over 16,000 other runners.

Italy is not a difficult country to navigate, even if you don't know much Italian. Planning is half the fun of an Italy tour, so it is a good idea to book certain things I advance, like smaller daylong tours where a driver can take you to a handful of smaller towns. The best trips can be those that have a mix of structured tours and free time for just relaxing and enjoying the environment.

A company called Context offers excellent small tours in Italy that are led by specialists in a number of cities. Museum tours are another great idea,a s these will have audio guides in English. Taking along a guidebook such as those by Rick Steve which have extensive museum chapters can also be very helpful to get the mo st out of Italian museums that you visit.
