About this experience
Discover the enchantment of Rome at dawn, when the city awakens softly and its famous streets remain peaceful and serene. This small-group tour starts on Via dei Condotti, where stylish shops lie closed and the cobblestones sparkle from the night’s cleaning. As the city slowly comes to life around you, take a leisurely stroll to Piazza Colonna, where the impressive Column of Marcus Aurelius stands quietly in the calm morning air.
Wander through tranquil alleys to the Trevi Fountain, arriving ahead of the crowds to enjoy the soothing sound of water flowing over ancient stone. You’ll have time to pause, toss a coin, and admire its Baroque beauty without distraction.
The tour concludes in Piazza Navona. With the square almost empty, the fountains and historic architecture feel even more timeless. It’s a unique opportunity to experience Rome’s iconic sights as they once were—quiet, stunning, and all yours to savor.
