Hi everyone, Thanks for signing up for my newsletter! I really appreciate it. I’m currently in Italy filming new walking tours, and I wanted to share a quick update from the first few days of the trip. I arrived in Rome and started filming right away with a tour inside the Pantheon. Over the next two days, I covered a huge portion of the city—filming around the Colosseum, inside the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill, the Altar of the Fatherland, Piazza del Campidoglio, and more. One of the biggest changes since my last visit is that parts of the Palatine Hill that were previously closed—like the Domus Tiberiana—are now open. On the other hand, some places are more crowded than ever. The Trevi Fountain now has a ticketed access area, and it gets extremely packed. In the evenings, I filmed multiple night walks through Rome, including areas like the Spanish Steps, Piazza Navona, Campo de’ Fiori, and Trastevere. Yesterday, I left Rome and drove north to Viterbo to film the San Pellegrino in Fiore festival. The historic center was completely filled with flowers—one of the most unique environments I’ve filmed. Last night, I arrived in Orvieto and filmed an evening walk through the town. Today I’ll be heading back out to film the full daytime route. The weather is not looking great for the next few days but I will continue with the plan and make the best of it. I’ll continue sending updates as I move through Orvieto, Assisi, Perugia, and the rest of the trip. Please let me know what you'd like to see in these newsletters! I can add more images and links but for this first one, I thought I should keep it simple! Ciao! – Isaac Prowalk Tours |
I’m writing this from the airport lounge in Rome, waiting for my flight home. The trip is now finished, and the last three days were some of the busiest of the whole trip. I filmed in Assisi, Perugia and Rome, with a mix of festival crowds, classic cars, rain, bike rides, ancient roads and one unfortunate lens problem on my final evening walk.

May 6th - A Lucky Break in Assisi (and Discovering Spello) Today, I drove from Perugia to Assisi to film inside the Papal Basilica of Saint Francis. I started at 9:30 and had the place almost to myself for nearly an hour. The town itself was cloudy and crews were setting up for a festival, so I decided to come back on Saturday when the light is better and the festival is in full swing. So instead, I drove to Spello, somewhere I'd never filmed before. I started filming without planning the...
May 4th -Exploring Orvieto I started the day by filming a walk around the base perimeter of Orvieto which will actually be placed at the end of the walking tour video. In Orvieto, I was able to film Saint Patrick’s Well, the Pozzo della Cava, the Torre del Moro, and the Orvieto Underground as well as a full city tour. Click the link below to see a map of the walk.
