A Better Way to Plan Your Trip

We know planning a trip to Rome can feel like a part-time job—too many tabs, too many opinions, and too much noise. That’s why we built this guide the way we’d want it: personal, practical, and actually helpful.

We don’t list every pasta place in the city—just the ones we’d send our best friends to. We help you cut through the chaos and focus on what’s worth your time.

You’ll walk away with a clear plan, a personalized map, and the confidence to explore Rome with ease.

Made with Care (and Carbonara)

We made this guide after spending days walking Rome’s cobbled streets, chatting with locals, taste-testing cacio e pepe, and mapping every place we loved.

This isn’t a crowd-sourced list or an AI mashup. It’s us—John and Marlee (JAM)—doing what we do best: helping people travel better with real advice, tested picks, and tools that actually work.

Who We Are (and Why You Can Trust Us)

We’re John and Marlee—partners in travel and in life—who’ve visited over 50 countries together, spending more than 800 nights on the road since 2018. JAM Travel started after years of sharing our Google Maps pins and planning notes with friends who kept saying, “You should make this a business.” So we did.

Our guides aren’t scraped from the internet or AI-generated—we’ve actually walked these streets, taste-tested the meals, and figured out the best routes so you don’t have to. Every spot in this Rome travel guide was personally vetted by us for quality, vibe, and value.

We’re both meticulous planners (John thrives on spreadsheets, Marlee brings the fun and flair), and we believe a great trip doesn’t mean seeing everything—it means feeling confident in your plan and leaving room for moments you’ll actually remember.
