ROME: Walking Tour for Early Birds

What's included

Private Guided tour with an official local guide

Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

Wake up early and make sure to have a good breakfast before meeting our professional tour guide in Piazza di Spagna right in front of the Versace boutique. At this hour of the day, the city barely started to wake up.

Stop 2

The steps of Trinità dei Monti are mostly empty from human presence, making a great subject for nice photographs. Have a look from the outside to the Keats-Shelley Memorial House

Stop 3

The most romantic monuments of Rome: the Trevi Fountain. Drop a coin facing backwards for good luck and learn the amazing stories these marbles have to tell.

Stop 4

Stop is the massive column of the Emperor Marcus Aurelius and a few steps away Monte Citorio, the Parliament of the Republic of Italy.

Stop 5

Keep following your Cicerus through tiny streets until another pearl will be revealed: the Pantheon is one of the most beautiful churches of Rome and it was clearly built over a Pagan temple.

Stop 6

Your last stop will be the Stadium of Domitian that was later converted into an oval square, Piazza Navona. There are some outstanding sculptures here, especially the Fountain of the Four Rivers, made in the XVII century by Gian Lorenzo Bernini. The tour ends here but your mysterious night in Rome has just begun!
