George T

My name is George A. Tramountanas. It may seem kinda pompous to include the middle initial, but it's necessary - there are 2 other George Tramountanas' (believe it or not!). I'm not the poker-playing champion (that's my uncle), and I'm not the kid born in the 80's who attended WSU (that's my cousin). I'm a humble child of the 70's. I was born and raised in Seattle, and was crazy enough to move to Los Angeles for a good portion of my 20's. I'm a writer, filmmaker, and comic book journalist when I'm not working my 9-5 job for "the man." I married my high school sweetheart, have 2 fantastic kids, and thank God for an interesting life!

A great way to see the Vatican (and etc.) and get through it all in a decent speed. Our guide was terrific too!

Rome Walking Tour and Cooking Class

5 star rating: Highly Recommended

My Review

The walking tour was brief but good - and that was handy because we just wanted to get to the cooking! Mostly it's just making pasta, but it's lots of fun (especially for families) and you get to eat great food (and drinks lots of wine) when you're done!

My Review

Our guide was great, but this tour is a lot of walking. This probably isn't a problem for most, but since we visited during the hottest time of the year...phew! Still, it's a great way to see everything and is recommended!
