Full description

Your private full-day tour of Rome commences with a pickup from your accommodation. The first stop will be Vatican City — the world’s smallest sovereign state. Discover its wonders while tracing the paths traversed by popes leading to St. Peter's Square where the majestic Obelisk stands. Take in the picturesque view of Vatican Gardens surrounded by prominent landmarks including St. Peter's Basilica which is one of your later stops on this tour. The city center awaits you for the second leg of your journey where you will visit Rome’s famous archaeological trio — The Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill. Let the history come alive as you explore each site's architecture and learn about their historical importance. Walk through different sections of Colosseum from underground tunnels up to main arena then upper viewing terraces while visualizing scenes from gladiatorial games that once took place here and the roaring crowds that filled this ancient amphitheater. After that, proceed to the Roman Forum: it was once the core of the city's public life and affairs. View remains of temples markets basilicas royal residences within the Forum. Finish off your journey by ascending Palatine Hill which boasts remains of the grand Imperial Palace — believed to be Rome's founder's abode and location for major chariot races.
