Discover the Eternal City in-depth on a private guided tour through the heart of ancient Rome. Begin by admiring the Pantheon, Rome’s best-preserved ancient building with roots dating to 27 BC. Gaze up to see the open-air oculus at the dome’s peak, which functions as a celestial “eye” while bathing the interior with natural light. In Piazza Navona, you’ll see one of Rome’s most impressive fountains with its sculpted sea gods before continuing to Piazza Di Spagna with the famous Spanish Steps. Marking the conclusion of your tour is Trevi Fountain, where legend says tossing a coin in ensures a return to the city.

The amphitheater once hosted everything from gladiatorial combats and dramatic reenactments to public executions, while the Roman Forum was the hub of political and social activity. Or visit Vatican City to admire Michelangelo’s work in the Sistine Chapel, step into magnificent St. Peter’s Basilica, and explore the world-class museums. Roaming the streets never gets old either, with little moments while watching a grandmother hang clothes out to dry or enjoying the aroma of fresh-baked bread.
