The ultimate tour for those travelling through Italy with a limited time frame, we make sure you see everything there is to see of Rome in just one day!
This tour begins when you meet your guide at Termini Station, bright and early at 7:30 am. Then, embark on a short 5-minute metro ride to our first stop: The magnificent Colosseum! Stop here for photos and souverniers. Then we head to the Piazza Venezia and the colossal Vittoriano through the legendary Forum. Making our way through the streets of Rome, we climb to the top of the Spanish Steps to one of the best views of the Eternal City.
The sights only get more iconic from here. Next up is the Trevi Fountain, where your guide will teach you how to throw your coin over your shoulder and make a wish. We see the Piazza Navona where you'll learn all about Bernini, Rome's version of Michelangelo. We take in the Pantheon, a slice of history in the centre of Rome.After a relaxing break at one of Rome's oldest and most famous gelaterias, we'll make our way to the Castelo di Sant'Angelo, made famous in the film, "Angels and Demons." You will also see Saint Peter's Basilica, the biggest church in the world within the smallest country in the world (that's right, you'll be ticking off two different countries on this tour!).
You'll have free time to explore the Vatican, relax or take as many photos as you can. Your guide will suggest the best places for lunch or a quick snack or how to spend the rest of the day is up to you: You can join our optional Vatican museum tour or perhaps sit down in one of the thousands of Restaurants that Rome has to offer?
Now that you've had a whirlwind day in Rome, we head back to Florence via train, aiming to have you back by 8:30 pm.
