Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

Visit the Colosseum, one of the largest structures of the ancient world, where Romans once gathered to watch the gladiator games, battles with wild beasts, and according to legend, sea battles. Discover how the Colosseum, a massive stone amphitheater which seated an estimated 60,000 spectators, was built in only 8 years. Your guide will unlock fascinating stories of the design and construction, the political benefit, the fighters, and the eventual end of the games at the Colosseum.

Walk along one of the main roads of the Eternal City, surrounded by ancient ruins and the evidences of a great past and head to Piazza Venezia, dominated by the Altar of Fatherland.

Arriving to Venice Square you can't help but noticing this monument, that represents the Italy of the last two centuries with its majesty, cultural and historical significance. For instance, it was in this square where Mussolini appeared to give his speeches to the nation. Also, from this square start two of the most important and famous streets of Rome: Via dei Fori Imperiali and Via del Corso. It is in this square where Il Vittoriano was built from 1885.

Stop 4

You won't need to ask yourself " where is the Trevi Fountain " as you'll be expertly navigated through the city streets. You’ll want to toss a coin into Trevi Fountain, the largest and most famous fountain in Italy (seen in Fellini's La Dolce Vita movie), ensuring that you will one day return to Rome. Learn the secrets that the fountain holds.

Stop 5

Everyone who comes to Rome must visit the Spanish Steps - the "5th Avenue" of Rome - where all the world's top designers have set up shop. Take in the magnificent view of Rome from the top of the steps, then stroll down Via Condotti, at the base of the Spanish steps, which is one of the most famous places to shop in the world. All while learning the Spanish Steps history.
