Full description

When you book our one-day tour, you’ll be able to experience the incredible sights of the Colosseum area, Vatican Museums, and the Sistine Chapel. Forget about waiting in long lines or trying to buy tickets - our guides are knowledgeable experts who will lead you on this exclusive journey. You’ll get inside access to the Colosseum where you can marvel at its magnificent architecture and learn about its fascinating history, including its famous gladiatorial battles. As an added bonus during the summer season, we also take you up Palatine Hill - considered Rome’s birthplace and offer a closer look at the Roman Forum too.For enthusiasts of picturesque panoramic views of the Roman Forum and its vicinity, Capitol Hill is an ideal choice, being within walking distance of the City Hall. Conversely, if you’re visiting Rome during winter, between November and March, it would be great to begin your day with a hot breakfast at one of the smaller cafes located across Rome, capable of housing no more than 5 people. Nonetheless, make sure not to set off on a trip around the Vatican Museums without admiring its major sights like St. Peter’s Basilica or the Sistine Chapel.If we are speaking about Rome as a tourist destination, one of the most striking places to visit in the city is, of course, the Vatican Museums. According to their website, these include 54 galleries and four museums, mainly sculpture museums – Museo Pio-Clementino, Museo Chiaramonti, Museo Gregoriano Etrusco, and Museo Gregoriano Egiziano. Here you can see the work of Leonardo Da Vinci and Michelangelo, Caravaggio, among other great artists such as Raphael and Giotto, which will amaze anyone who loves art for its beauty.Among the fifty-four galleries stands the internationally acclaimed Sistine Chapel, finished in 1483 and lavishly decorated with exquisite frescoes, thus making it one of the most famous chapels in the world. Vatican City is not only an art gallery but also a religious center, so some events here have religious significance, like the papal conclave, when a new pope is elected.
