Your experience

Take a two-day guided tour in Rome.

Join our private guided visit to the most famous sites of the Eternal City including the Trevi Fountain, Piazza Navona, Vatican Museums, and more.

Your journey starts with a private Colosseum tour from a well-reviewed local guide at the Arch of Constantine.

Learn the history of this great monument and how brutal the games were plus what happened to the gladiators then walk briefly to see the inspiring ruins of the Roman Forum.

Next up is to visit the ancient Capitoline Hill where you can grab a rest at a bar with an incredibly panoramic view of the city.

Your guide will recommend a place for lunch so that you get your teeth into some nice local food.

Keep on walking after eating, and proceed to the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, Piazza Sant’Eustachio, Piazza Navona, and Campo de’Fiori.

Be stunned by the Pantheon and Hadrian’s Temple; wrap up the first of your 2 days of private sightseeing with a very pleasant walk through the lovely Piazza Farnese.

On the second day, you can look at the Vatican Museums which house this great collection of art in the world.

You will be taken to see the Belvedere Courtyard, and also the Raphael Rooms and Sistine Chapel termed one of the artistic wonders on the earth.

Frescoes would get better understanding from intriguing stories on ‘Life of Michelangelo’ and how these works came into being.

After lunch at one of the typical eateries, going further into a Vatican sight, St Peter’s Basilica to see Bernini’s brilliance left behind—the great square with its broad colonnade.

Hear stories, and myths by popes and artists made history for the Vatican.

Finally take a quick walk through Borgo Pio- a preserved medieval district in Rome.

Stop at Castel Sant’Angelo – a mighty fortress that stands over the Tiber River.
