Overview

If you have limited time in Rome, then this walking tour is designed just for you. Discover the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, the Pantheon, the Trevi Fountain, Piazza Navona, Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel, and more! Also included is a quick bus transfer from central Rome to the Vatican.

Your day begins at the Colosseum with skip-the-line tickets. An architectural and engineering wonder of the ancient world, the Colosseum bears witness to both the glory and brutality of the Roman Empire.

Moving on to the Roman Forum, savor the breathtaking views from outside a stunning vantage point, where you will spot the Senate and the Temple of the Vestal Virgins. Listen to the history of the sites as your guide regales you with how Rome became the heart of a vast empire. Next up, you will stop at the Pantheon, one of Rome's most enduring monuments. Hear stories about how it was built and why has it inspired other famous buildings like the St Peter’s Basilica and the US Capitol Building.

Stroll through the streets made famous by films like Roman Holiday, stopping at the Trevi Fountain and Piazza Navona & Bernini’s Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi for photo opportunities. After a short lunch break, travel by private transfer to the Vatican Museums where you can admire one of the world’s greatest collections of art. Visit the Raphael Rooms, ancient sculpture galleries, and the stunning Hellenistic ‘Laocoon’. See Michelangelo’s frescoes in the Sistine Chapel along with mosaics on the floor and intricate frescoes on the wall painted by the early Renaissance artists.

Customer Reviews

    Amazing! Our guide was so knowledgeable!

    This tour was with Walks of Italy - Our tour guide Guilia was very informative & knowledgeable, the use of headsets & radio's was helpful to be able to hear what she was saying especially when we were in noisy situations. The stop for Gelato was very welcome & perfectly timed. In the afternoon we were asked to meet up at 1:30pm instead of 2pm, giving us only an hour for lunch which made this feel slightly rushed. I would recommend this tour as a good introduction to the sites listed above.
