What you'll see

At 5:00am most of Rome is still asleep but we will get a jump start on the day and set out to explore the city in it's full splender. Since this is probably the most beautiful time to fully appreciate the Eternal City you can maximize the opportunities to visit more sites in just 3 hours than is possible later in the day. Pictures will be amazing with first the moon and then with the sun coming up.

Pick up in a comfortable Mercedes minivan, we will start with throwing the coin into the Trevi Fountain and make the special wish to come back to Rome, then stop at the Spanish Steps for a run down to the famous Piazza di Spagna. Piazza del Popolo is the next stop where the Catholic Church used to do the public executions till the 19 cent. In Piazza Venezia you will be able to see where Mussolini used to talk to his crowds and the Colosseum is just a few minutes driving. Next stop....the Pantheon one of Raphael's favourite places in Rome. After some amazing pictures of the Pantheon we will drive over river Tiber for a stop on the Tiberina Island and then the beautiful Gianicolo hill where the most beautiful view of Rome will be at your feet. At this point you will be ready for a great Cappuccino & Cornetto while the dome of the Vatican is higlighted by the rising sun.

It's not a simple driving around the city but you will be able to stop and get off the van many times, take pictures, make questions, explore and learn the history and the secrets of each site with the expertise of your Driver Guide.
