Your experience

Enter the Renaissance art magnificence meeting the whispers of old history under the umbrella of the Roman sky.

Your day starts at the great Colosseum, where gladiator fights prevailed amidst the ruins of the Roman Forum and huge Palatine Hill – together reflecting just a bit of what once was great Rome.

Such an early pick-up will be arranged for those choosing the small-group package with transport; otherwise, simply follow the voucher’s directions to join your guide and other participants at the designated meeting place.

After morning portion of tour, free time will also be available to enjoy lunch on own (not included in package) before meeting up again with guide and rest of group.

Along with the small group option which includes transportation, there comes an additional delightful comfort en route to the afternoon’s destination: Vatican Museums.

So, paying close attention to the information on your voucher will ensure that you have a seamless experience at the meeting point and rejoin your group ready for the rest of your adventure! This tour asks you to step reverently through the Vatican Museums-those invitational guardians, kind enough to offer a “Come and Visit” message for Michelangelo’s extraordinary works in the Sistine Chapel and then to appreciate the splendor of St.

Peter’s Square.

It is a thematic probe meant to satisfy those who are desirous of feeling the vibe of Rome and are interested in knowing what it stands for; so, only this year (the Jubilee Year), some parts of the Vatican Museums may not be accessible due to certain religious functions that are not within our purview.

Sorry if that upsets you.

Besides, should the entrance to the Sistine Chapel be sealed off, there is no way we shall make any partial refund about it.
