Itinerary

  • Ancient Rome

    After the pick-up at your accommodation, the driver will take you to the Colosseum where you will meet your private guide. Known as Flavian Amphitheatre, the Colosseum is one of the capital's most remarkable monument. It is an imposing construction that, with almost 2,000 years of history, will bring you back in time to discover the way of life in the Roman Empire. During that period, the Colosseum allowed more than 50,000 people to enjoy its finest spectacles. The exhibitions of exotic animals, the execution of prisoners, the recreations of battles and gladiator fights kept Roman people entertained for years. After the Colosseum, your time travel will continue with the spectacular ruins of the Roman Forum – the hub of ancient Rome. Here's where rousing political speeches were made, criminals were sentenced, goods were traded and where angry crowds assembled. The site, originally a marshy burial ground, was first developed in the 7th century BC, growing over time to become the social, political and commercial hub of the Roman empire. Signature sights include the Arch of Septimius Severus, the Curia, the Temple of Saturn and the Arch of Titus. At the end of this first part of the tour, you will reach the Palatine Hill, the most central of seven hills of Rome. In the Palatine Hill, you can see hundreds of ruins of the imposing buildings that were created for high Roman society in ancient. For a fresh perspective on Rome and its history, there’s no better place than the Palatine!

    2 hours 30 minutes

  • Vatican Museums

    We continue with the Vatican Museums, the most beautiful museum complex in the world. They have one of the finest art collections on the planet, with priceless works from Greek, Roman, Egyptian and Etruscan antiquity. They house a valuable collection of paintings ranging from the 12th to the 19th century, with works by Raphael, Caravaggio and Leonardo da Vinci. The Museums include some beautifully frescoed rooms such as: Raphael's Stanze, four rooms decorated by Raphael; the picture gallery with paintings by Giotto, Leonardo, Caravaggio and Bellini, classical art sculptures and masterpieces by Bernini, tapestries and mosaics; the famous Sistine Chapel, (named after its founder, Pope Sixtus IV) which Michelangelo's extraordinary genius made one of the most celebrated artistic treasures in the world, visited by 20,000 visitors every day. The frescoes of the Creation and the Last Judgement are considered among the greatest and most intense masterpieces in the history of art.
