About this experience

Enjoy a tour of Rome and the Vatican Museums in style. Our driver will meet you at the port around 7.30 and drive you to Rome. The car will not be at your disposal, it’s a walking tour.
Our full day tour will be led by a fully licensed tour guide who will enter with you every sites, includes the most important sightseeing of Rome: Colosseum, Forum, Capitoline Hill, Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, Navona square, Vatican museums, Sistine Chapel, St. Peter's Basilica.
*Please note that our tour does NOT include the underground level because it takes at least 1 hour to visit there and in our opinion does not worth the time and money (it is not included in the standard Colosseum admission tickets), we prefer to dedicate that time to the Emperor palace instead.
The full day tour is a private WALKING tour. That means you will not join another group but you will have a guide only for you for the entire tour. It is the best way of visiting Rome and the Vatican.
