Upon Arrival:
Instead of taking the Leonardo Express from Fiumicino to Termini, take the FR1 to whichever station is most convenient for you. The FR1 departs every 15 minutes (instead of every 30 minutes for the Express), costs only EUR 5 (instead of EUR 9.50 for the Express), and avoids the hullabaloo of Termini.
The boat trips down the Tiber, from the bridge by Castel Sant'Angelo to Isola Tiberina is only EUR 1 (a great way to get from St. Peter's to Trastevere or the Forum)
One way to save on the expense of guided tours is to register online at Sound Guides (http://www.sound-guides.com/) and download the various free self-guided tours to your Ipod or MP3 player."
The smaller restaurants in Trastevere also offer better value for money than, say, the ones in the alleys near the Spanish Steps or any of the other "tourist" areas in central Rome.
