Full description

Experiencing it, discover the top highlights in Rome during a full day.During Augustus' reign, Marcus Agrippa constructed a Roman temple, later converted into a church, The Pantheon."La Dolce Vita" and "Roman Holiday" are movies that have showcased the Trevi Fountain, which is the largest Baroque fountain in Rome.Constructed in 1723, the Spanish Steps connect the Piazza di Spagna to the Trinita dei Monti Church, forming a series of steps on a steep slope.Piazza Venezia is a grand square located in the heart of the city. It is a central meeting point for people to gather and connect. On one side of this splendid square stands the Altare della Patria, a place of great importance where Italy's Tomb of the Unknown Soldier rests. This monument is a vital part of the tribute to Vittorio Emanuele II, who was the first King of Italy. If you look afar, you may catch a glimpse of the Roman Forum, an ancient site that was once bustling with activity and life. Look at the amazing Colosseum, standing tall with all its grandeur. It represents Rome itself and gives us a glimpse into the incredible history of the Roman Empire, which lasted for almost two thousand years. Don't forget about the magnificent Circus Maximus, an old arena where thrilling chariot races entertained and captivated audiences. In the past, it was a beloved center for entertainment. Moreover, it is imperative that we prioritize a visit to the enchanting Piazza Campo de Fiori, where we can relish a delectable meal at a genuine Roman restaurant. We must not forget to appreciate the extraordinary Vatican Museums, nestled comfortably within the confines of Vatican City. These museums showcase a vast collection of artistic treasures meticulously collected by popes throughout the ages. From awe-inspiring sculptures from ancient Rome to captivating masterpieces from the Renaissance era, this undeniably stands as one of the most significant cultural landmarks around the world. With the All-Inclusive Option, you'll receive fast-track tickets for both the Colosseum and Vatican Museums. Inside these revered walls, you'll find a remarkable collection of around 70,000 pieces of art, with a current exhibition featuring 20,000 of them. One particularly noteworthy attraction is the Sistine Chapel, which pays tribute to Pope Sixtus IV and serves as the meeting place for the papal conclave, where important decisions about selecting a new pope are made. The Sistine Chapel is widely known for its frescoes decorating the walls, especially the magnificent masterpiece that embellishes the ceiling of the chapel and Michelangelo's iconic artwork known as The Last Judgment. St. Peter's Basilica, an outstanding representation of Renaissance architecture, is truly an extraordinary edifice. This exceptional structure, designed by accomplished architects Donato Bramante, Michelangelo, Carlo Maderno, and Gian Lorenzo Bernini, not only holds the honor of being the biggest church in existence but also serves as a remarkable testament to the unparalleled brilliance and ingenuity of the Renaissance era.

  • Upon disembarking from the ship, conveniently waiting just outside, your name will be displayed on a sign so that your designated driver can be readily identifiable.
  • In order to gain access to certain museums and places of worship, it is of utmost importance to follow a prescribed dress code. This means refraining from wearing shorts or tops without sleeves.
  • Details that are crucial to the situation:
  • Just a heads up, the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel have specific days when they are closed throughout the year. These include every Sunday, the two days of Easter (Sunday and Monday), January 1st and 6th, February 11th, March 19th, May 1st, June 29th, August 15th, and December 8th, 25th, and 26th. However, instead of visiting the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel on those dates, you will have the opportunity to explore one of the ancient catacombs in Rome. Rest assured that we will ensure you have the tickets for this extraordinary experience. It is important to comprehend that there will be no reimbursement provided for this deviation from the originally intended route.
  • If by chance unforeseen occurrences come to pass, it is conceivable that St Peter's Basilica might have to be temporarily shut down or rendered unattainable. In the event that this scenario arises, there lies the potential for you to partake in an all-encompassing 2-hour expedition of the Vatican Museums.
  • If, by chance, the Colosseum Skip-the-Line tickets happen to be unavailable on the official website – which is a pretty rare occurrence – particularly on specific dates (1 Jan, 1 May, 25 Dec), you will have the opportunity to marvel at the majestic Colosseum from its outer surroundings. Should you find yourself in this situation, fret not for we will reimburse you with the precise amount you initially paid for those tickets, which is set at a reasonable 15 Euros per person.
