Meet your guide at the Colosseum where, with privileged access, you go straight inside to begin your exploration of this magnificent Ancient Roman amphitheatre.

Next you go outside the Colosseum to see the Arch of Constantine and take a short walk to the Roman Forum. The forum was the main square of Ancient Rome and the centre of political, religious and social life. The wonderful buildings that surround the square are testament to its central role in the life of Rome’s citizens. You will see the 1st century Arch of Titus, the House of the Vestal Virgins, the Temple of Saturn, the Senate House, and the white marble Arch of Septimius Severus to name a few.

The tour then wends its way to the Trevi Fountain, the backdrop to many a movie scene, including Fellini’s famous La Dolce Vita. If you wish to come back to Rome, follow legend and throw a coin in the fountain!


Another short walk past the Ancient Baths of Nero brings you to Piazza Navona with Bernini’s famous Fountain of the Four Rivers.

For the final visit of the day you cross the Tiber to the Vatican. Here you have a tour of the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel where you will see Michelangelo’s famous ceiling frescoes as well works by other Renaissance artists including Raphael.

Then you enter the Sistine Chapel

It is then time for a tour of St. Peter’s Basilica where you will explore the numerous side chapels with their hidden crypts. You will see Michelangelo’s Pietà and your guide will explain why this is the only work that he signed. You will gain an appreciation of the mastery that went into the creation of Bernini’s altarpiece and learn how Michelangelo triumphed over his contemporaries for the honour to paint St. Peter’s magnificent dome.

The tour will end in Saint Peter's Square
