TOUR N.1: ROME MAJOR HIGHLIGHT TOUR
This is our Classic Rome tour designed for guests that have never been to Rome and would like to enjoy an overview of the best sites that Rome can offer in only one day. If and when possible, we always suggest taking a Vatican City tour (which includes the Vatican Museum, Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica) on separate days, as it involves a great deal of physical exertion.
Our English speaking driving guide will meet you at your hotel with the vehicle of your choice to begin this fantastic tour of the Eternal City.
When including a 2 hour Vatican tour we will call on one of our English speaking Vatican guides so you can completely enjoy the finest works of art in the world inside the Vatican. He/she will also help you avoid waiting in massive Vatican lines for hours.
If it is possible and you have more than just one day to tour, the Vatican tour can be scheduled on another day (avoid Saturdays) . If you only have only one day in Rome and you want to tour the Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel (with our private guide) the tour will include the following sites; Piazza Venezia, Vatican Museum, Sistine Chapel, Basilica of St. Peter, the Vittoriano, the Roman Forum, the Colosseum, the Arch of Costantine, the Circus Maximus, the Mouth of Truth, the Spanish steps, the Trevi Fountain, Piazza Navona and the Pantheon.
Your tour will be with one of our informative English speaking driving guides (specialised in touring Rome), that unlike bus tours, will drive you up very close to all the sites to visit with very limited walking. He will give you information on the sites to visit and may help you obtain quick tickets where possible.
Our rates do not include: entrance fees, private guides or meals unless specified in your confirmation.
