Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

Enjoy comfortable transportation by private vehicle and see the main major Rome attractions.

The tours we offer are performed by our English Speaking driver/guides who will not enter sites, but drive you around and show you places, pointing out things while explaining what they are, as well as stopping at the places that require a visit and helping you access them.

Drivers have been trained by licensed guides and are very knowledgeable and informative. However due to strict Italian law does not allow them to accompany you into sites.

Begin the tour by meeting your English-speaking driver at your Rome hotel in the morning.

Discover the beauty of the eternal city from the luxury and comfort of a super equipped Mercedes E Class/Minivan.

Your driver will provide full historical and archaeological information about Rome and offer live commentary while saving you time and effort by escorting you as close as possible to the sights.

You will experience the awe-inspiring sites, architecture and artwork starting with a private tour of the Colosseum and the Roman Forum, once the center of ancient public life. From there, you will visit Capitoline Hill and continue to St. Peter in Chains, home of Michelangelo’s Moses sculpture. Then it’s Trevi Fountain, Piazza Navona and the Spanish Steps, shining examples of the Baroque era and oozing with the spirit of “La Dolce Vita”. Your Driver/Guide will lead you to Piazza Venezia and Campo dei Fiori, where you’ll peek into the local artisan shops. Your day will end with a visit to Circus Maximus and the decadent Aventine Hill, where a special key hole will allow you to peek three States at one time.

Ask your driver for a good local restaurant recommendation for all tastes and stop for lunch at your own expense.
