  • Public transportation options are available nearby
  • Travelers should have at least a moderate level of physical fitness

  • Please provide the full names of all travelers when booking. Failure to present a voucher with all travelers' full names at the ticket office prior to entry may result in denied entry to the Colosseum and Roman Forum.
  • Because of the growing popularity of the current pope Francis and his intense activity in organising mass events in the Vatican some areas might get closed last minute without previous notice. This has already happened this year and can happen again during your Vatican tour: the Sistine chapel and/or the Basilica of Saint Peter might not be accessible. In case of such events our tour guide will provide you with a valuable alternative focusing the tour inside the Vatican museums.
  • Each traveler must present a valid passport or ID document that matches the name provided at the time of booking for successful entry to the Colosseum and Roman Forum.

Reviews for Best of Rome in a Day Private Guided Tour Including Vatican, Sistine Chapel, and Colosseum
Private guide into the history of Rome is the way to go
Tin_T
Our tour guide was very knowledgeable. He as a college degree in history and a graduate degree. He was able to provide us with very detailed information about the Coloseum, the Pantheon and the the Vatican. I knew that the buildings in Rome were old but did not realize how much older they are than similar cities such as Paris. Francesca provided us with valuable and entertaining information about buildings built about two thousand years ago. He also pointed out paintings and sculptures done by Michelangelo during the Rennaissance and other buildings built during the Baroque period. He touched up on how governments today are modeled after those in Rome during the time when it was a Republic. I really enjoyed the private tour.
How to appreciate Rome
Pasha_B
Donato is an incredible guide - knowledgeable, warm, animated, passionate. He is a historian and archeologist. Knows Rome so well. Telling the story of Rome with passion is a talent and he has it in spades. His explanations of the Forum, Colosseum, Vatican, especially the Sistine Chapel were extraordinary. Love to take another tour with him. So much to see and learn!
Our guide Tomisso was so...

Our guide Tomisso was so knowledgeable. He was a pleasure. Our group of 8 saw a lot and learned a great deal during this private tour. Highly recommended.
Roman History & Hospitality At It’s Best!

You cannot go wrong by booking this tour! If the “skip the lines” feature weren’t enough of a selling point, the knowledgeable Roman guide is. Tommaso has his PhD in archeology and was well versed in church history as portrayed by the Roman historical ruins and monuments. Adapting his tour to meet our specific cultural background, we learned so much about Roman history and were left hungry for more. His tour ensured that we would return to Rome at a later date. Wear comfortable shoes! We clocked 27,300 steps this day, all worth it. And be sure to be hungry for lunch because you will eat your best meal here with Roman friends. Amazing, amazing, amazing!
OUTSTANDING tour. and Paola was the best!

This entire tour was well worth the time, money, walking and everything! We learned so much and Paola was the best guide ever. Her knowledge of the city and history combined with her passion for what she does made this an unforgettable tour.
