What To Expect
Itinerary
Pass By:
Colosseum
Once you have met your guide, your tour will get underway with a reserved ticket for the Colosseum. You will proceed to its interior in order to explore the biggest amphitheatre ever built.
After that, your guide will lead you outside in order to see the Arch of Constantine and the Roman Forum, the very centre of the empire and the heart of its political, religious and social life. You will also see the 1st-century Arch of Titus, the House of the Vestal Virgins, the Temple of Saturn, the Senate House, and the white marble Arch of Septimius Severus. This part of the tour will conclude with a walk along the Via Sacra before arriving at the Capitoline Hill and the "Vittoriano", one of the most impressive monuments in modern Italy.
The next stage of the tour will take you to the Trevi Fountain, an important feature in many films, but perhaps most famously in Fellini’s “La Dolce Vita”. Legend has it that if you throw a coin into the fountain and make a wish, you will one day return to the city. You will then have a little time to relax and have lunch (not included in the price). There is a wide range of restaurants catering for all tastes, whether you feel like something quick such as a pizza or a sandwich, or taking your time over a three-course meal.
After lunch, your next stop will be the Government District, home to the Parliament Building, the Palace of the Council of Ministers and the Column of Marcus Aurelius.
There is no better way to round off your tour than a stop at the Vatican, which lies just across the Tiber River. Your visit here will include the Vatican Museums and St. Peter's Basilica.
You will have the opportunity to see some of Michelangelo’s most famous work, including the breathtaking ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, as well as some frescoes by Raphael and the Pope's apartments.
