You meet your guide at your hotel, if it's the area of the Roman Forum and the Colosseum, or reach by your own means the Arch of Constantine and meet your guide there.

Once on the spot you'll walk through part of the ruins of the Palatine Hill, the Roman Forum and finally visit the Colosseum. At the end of the tour which will last 3 hours, the guide will take leave of you.

More sites and curiosities, less known than the places listed above, will be brought to your attention while driving. Remember: you'll always see more than you'll be expecting to see!

Roman Forum. The centre for all political, religious and commercial activity at the time of the Roman Empire, the heart of Rome and consequently the centre of the world in the classic era. The "Manhattan" of the Romans. You'll walk through it and see from close the buildings that represent the roots of western civilization, its way of life and politics. The Senate, the Basilicas the  Treasury, the temples will be at hand. You'll be able to touch history and become part of it.

The Colosseum parallels in fame St. Peter’s Basilica and the Fountain of Trevi, but while St. Peter’s represents Christian Rome and the Trevi Fountain represents the most frivolous and carefree aspect of the city, the Colosseum witnesses the grandeur of the Roman Empire, standing there sturdy and austere, receiving the multitudes that go pay their respect to it daily. Built nearly two thousand years ago stills stands there in spite of the fact that for hundreds of years the nobles have been subtracting marble from it to build their churches and their palaces and the people have been stealing the metal that was keeping the blocks of marble linked together, making us think that sometimes men create things that last longer and leave a bigger mark in history than they would have ever thought.

"As long as the Colosseum will stand, Rome shall stand. But when the Colosseum will fall, Rome shall fall and with it shall fall the world " Byron

The Fountain of Trevi, we'll get there before of after a stop in Piazza Venezia to take a picture at the Monument to the first King of Italy, Victor Emmanuel II, and the balcony from which Mussolini used to harangue the crowds. Yes, the world known Trevi Fountain, Nicola Salvi, one of Bernini's disciples, designed it, but everybody goes there for the legend that says that if one throws a coin in it, he will surely return to Rome! By the way, should you be short of coins, it’ll be my pleasure to provide them… it’s my best investment!

But this is not all you'll see! Going from St. Peter’s to the Colosseum for example you drive though half of Rome and you sure see a lot of things! I can’t really promise it, because you may not be so lucky and take this tour in a day with a lot of traffic and/or with long waits to get into St. Peter’s Basilica, but normally in four hours you fit in some more places like  the Capitol Hill or Michelangelo’s Moses.

If  you have two days in Rome, this is  the perfect tour for your first day. Save the Vatican for the next day. This tour does takes you to all the most interesting sites of Rome. Besides the obvious Trevi Fountain, Forum, Colosseum, Pantheon, Piazza Navona we'll visit the Catacombs, drive on the old Appian Way and more. Of course I'll have a nice little place for you to have lunch at, when you get hungry!

If we don't need to go to St. Peter's, which requires more than one hour to visit, not counting the eventual line to get in, we can use the time to see other places in the city and the Catacombs. This itinerary evolves just like the one described "Full day tour of Rome, including St. Peter's" and what we do is replace St. Peter's with the Catacombs and other places of your choice, time permitting. Starting the tour from the city center we drive down the Via Sistina and stop to look at the famous Spanish Steps. We stop than at the Pincio Terrace and enjoy the beautiful panorama of Rome and the Vatican City. Driving down the hill, we arrive at Piazza del Popolo. Driving past the ruins of the Mausoleum of Augustus, we arrive in Piazza Navona. Next we visit the Pantheon and the Capitol Hill (Campidoglio) where, from the top of the hill you also see the ruins of the Roman Forum, the ancient centre of the city of Rome. After a stop in Piazza Venezia to take a picture at the Monument to the first King of Italy and Mussolini's balcony, finally arrive the Trevi Fountain, where you throw a coin in to make sure you return to Rome! Next we arrive at the Colosseum, certainly one of the must-see highlights of Rome. At this point we could take a brake and stop for lunch in a typical restaurant on the Appian Way or at a sidewalk cafeteria in the city. After lunch we visit the Catacombs and walk a little on the old cobblestones of the Appian Way. Returning to the city we'll stop to look at the Circus Maximus and the Palatine Hill from the Aventine. If there will still be time left we can stop at to see the Moses by Michelangelo, or some of the sites mentioned above in case there will not be time to see the in the morning.

Naturally this is just a suggested itinerary, sites will not necessarily be visited in this order, a lot depends on where you'll be staying, we'll start from your hotel, and how you move around. In case you'll have already seen some of these sites, we could go to other places instead. We could go and see the view from the Janicolum Hill instead of the Pincio, the Moses instead of the Capitol and so on. I'll never be short of places to show you, we say here that it takes more than a life’s time to see Rome.

Lately I've been going to the Vatican in the afternoon and there's never been any line, but if you want to be sure you waste no time,

reservations for the Vatican Museums are available at 30 Euros per person.

Many people think the Sistine Chapel is the most important site to see in Rome and they have to visit it first, then visit everything else if there's time. I don't fully agree with that, I recommend to dedicate a separate half day to the visit of the Vatican to have one full day for Rome and enjoy it thoroughly. But if you only have one day and you really want to see the Sistine, here's the tour for you.

Short description of the itinerary:

Via Veneto and Piazza Barberini (drive),  Via del Corso (drive), Trevi Fountain (stop), Four fountains crossing (drive), Quirinale Palace (drive), Piazza Venezia (stop), Colosseum (visit), Key Hole (curiosity), Aventine Hill and Circus Maximus (stop), Vatican (visit).

Possible inclusions: Spanish Steps (stop),  Piazza Navona (stop), Pantheon and St. Mary' above Minerva (visit),

This tour is obviously centered on the Vatican and, be prepared, that's a tough one. The tour, which includes obviously St. Peter's Basilica, takes about three hours. During this time you'll not have the chance to take a brake and sit down. There's no air-conditioning, except when you're in the Sistine and in the Gallery of Tapestries, and so it's hot. And it's crowded, which makes it even more hot. Do I sound like I don't want to take you there? Wrong! I do, but I would love you not to go it within a tour of Rome. I'm used to all this, but I know you'll be exhausted. Anyway, if you decide to pay the 30 Euros to book your entrance, we can go first thing in the morning and that's a little better. It's better because it's cooler, but also because at the end we can go and sit down and have some lunch, so you rest before you start touring again. I said the tour of the Vatican takes about three hours, but between getting there, getting in and getting out, almost four hours easily pass. Then you go for lunch which takes at least another hour. At this point there will not be much time left to see other sites. I said from the beginning that including the Vatican in a full day tour of Rome forces you to leave out of the tour other sites, but I can guarantee we can include at least the Colosseum and the Trevi Fountain. For the rest, it depends mostly on how you move around and how traffic moves around the day we'll do this tour.

 Just in case you want something different from a walk around the neighborhood of your hotel and dinner in a nearby restaurant. Rome is beautiful in the daytime but it's incredible at night. Monuments like the Colosseum, the Trevi Fountain and St. Peter's Basilica are even more spectacular at night than they are during the day. You can climb the Capitol hill and see the square Michelangelo designed in a sort of mystical atmosphere and, a few steps further, see the panorama of the Roman Forum.

Short description of the itinerary:

The sites that look best at night are: St. Peter's, Piazza Navona, Colosseum, Pantheon, Piazza Venezia, Pincio, Janicolum, Capitol Hill, Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps. But it will be the atmosphere that you'll love.

More sites and curiosities, less known than the places listed above, will be brought to your attention while driving. Remember: you'll always see more than you'll be expecting to see!
