About this activity
The tour starts in the thick of it all: The Colosseum will be directly behind the local friendly guide waiting for you outside the Colosseo Metro Stop. This is the beginning of a tour that will take you all the way to the Vatican City! Next stop, after walking through the Via dei Fori Imperiali and the historic Forum, is the Vittoriano on Piazza Venezia, where you will look up at this huge monument turned into a museum and you will learn about the Italian Resorgimento (and a touch of Star wars!)
Going through a couple of small alleyways, you will emerge onto the Trevi Fountain where you will be told how to throw a coin (or maybe more than one?) going next to the splendid Piazza Navona -the place to have the original tartufo- and gazing up at the majestic Pantheon and its impossible dome
You will be suddenly looking at the Spanish Steps and you will have time to go all the way up for one of the best views of Rome. From there you will on your way to the fantasy - looking Castelo di Sant´Angelo, where the Popes used to escape when things got dangerous, and there, less than mile away, Saint Peter´s, the biggest church in the world within the smallest country.
You will then have free time to explore the Vatican city, take tons of photos and have some lunch before starting your second tour of the day: an offcial licensed guide of the Vatican Museums will tell you everything you ave to know about these incredible place,finishing in arguably the most famous piece of art in the world: the Sistine Chapel. Then it is up to you: climb up the dome, spend time inside St Peter´s basilica...get out and have dinner...your guide will have plenty of suggestions for the last couple of hours of your day in Rome!
