Description
Your fantastic day in the Eternal City begins when your driver picks you up at your hotel in Rome. Your driver will take you to meet your engaging and knowledgeable English-speaking guide at the smallest country in the world: the Vatican. Your guide will have your skip-the-lines tickets with specified entrance time.
Experience the Vatican museums including the stunning Sistine Chapel and finish in St. Peter’s Basilica. Your guide will shares stories, history and interesting facts and you will be able to go at the pace you desire.
Next, your driver and guide will take you to a relaxed local lunch spot for a quick pizza or perhaps a nicer sit down trattoria, you can tell your guide what you prefer.
In the afternoon, you will be taken to the impressive Colosseum dating back 2000 years where you will have skip-the-lines tickets and experience the wonder of this iconic masterpiece of architecture that has endured through history.
Your guide will tell you about the gladiator fights, the Emperors, and the rise and fall of the Roman Empire.
After your Colosseum visit, you will head to the nearby Roman Forum, which was once the center of everyday life of the citizens of Rome where you can touch history with your own two hands, see the columns and relics littered through this enormous archeological park covering thousands of years of history layered one era on top of another.
Your guide will take you back to meet your driver who will take you on a panoramic drive, pointing out the important points of interest on the way back to your hotel. Perhaps a quick stop at the Trevi Fountain or the Pantheon, time permitting.
