Tour description

This private tour combines the splendor of Renaissance art with the majesty of Ancient Rome, all in one day and without wasting time. Your expert guide will share stories, curiosities, and secrets of the city’s most iconic landmarks.

Your tour begins at the Colosseum, the ultimate symbol of the Eternal City. With priority entrance, you’ll step straight inside this extraordinary amphitheater, once the stage for grand spectacles and gladiator battles that captivated thousands of spectators. As you walk through its arches and tiers, you’ll relive the atmosphere of imperial times and learn how the Colosseum has become a global icon through the centuries.

The journey continues through the Roman Forum, the ancient public square and political heart of Rome, where temples, arches, and basilicas reveal the daily life of the Empire. From there, you’ll head up to the Palatine Hill, the legendary birthplace of Rome and home to imperial palaces, offering a breathtaking view over the archaeological area.

After a short break for lunch, your tour continues with the Vatican Museums, among the most visited in the world. You’ll stroll through galleries filled with treasures before reaching the Sistine Chapel, where Michelangelo’s world-famous frescoes await you, masterpieces that stand among the greatest achievements in the history of art.
