Our tour guide was simply amazing. The tour was well presented by her and her knowledge and enthusiasm I made it so much more special. She was a Chinese lady and I think her name was RW. She us a real gem. The content and timing of the tour was just right. Meal included was excellent. Transport from hotel and from restaurant were also nigh excellent also. Colosseum tour was very good but the guide was not quite as good as the Vatican tour.

Itinerary

Embark on a journey where ancient history and Renaissance beauty blend seamlessly under the Roman sky. Your day begins with the awe-inspiring Colosseum, where gladiators once battled, surrounded by the ruins of the Roman Forum and the regal Palatine Hill, offering a glimpse into Rome's glorious past.

If you select the option that includes transportation, you will also enjoy an early pick up service at your hotel; otherwise, you will follow the instructions provided in the voucher to reach out the guide and your group at the meeting point! After the morning portion of the tour, you’ll enjoy some free time to have lunch at your leisure (meal not included in the package), to later meet with your tour leader to leave with the rest of your group and enjoy a comfortable transportation service to the afternoon venue you’ll be visiting: the Vatican Museums!

As you step into the realm of divine art at the Vatican Museums, behold Michelangelo's masterpieces in the Sistine Chapel, and marvel at the grandeur of St. Peter’s Basilica. This tour promises a comprehensive experience of Rome’s heart and soul, meticulously designed for those who seek depth and connection with the Eternal City.
