  1. The Colosseum: We’ll start with the big one. As we pull up to this massive structure, our guide will recount tales of gladiators, wild animals, and epic battles that took place in the ancient amphitheater. You’ll be standing in the shadow of history itself.
  2. The Pantheon: Next up is one of the best-preserved monuments of ancient Rome. The Pantheon, with its awe-inspiring dome and ancient columns, is a marvel of engineering. Our guide will explain how this 2,000-year-old temple still captivates visitors today.
  3. The Trevi Fountain: No visit to Rome is complete without a stop at the Trevi Fountain. Toss a coin into its sparkling waters to ensure your return to Rome. At this iconic spot, you’ll learn the legends behind the fountain’s creation and the traditions that surround it.

  5. The Roman Forum: While we drive by, you’ll get a glimpse into the heart of ancient Rome’s political and social life. Imagine senators debating, merchants haggling, and philosophers pondering life in what was once the center of Roman civilization.
  6. Secret Corners and Hidden Gems: While the famous landmarks are a must-see, part of the magic of our tour is the ability to explore Rome’s lesser-known treasures. Whether it’s a quiet alleyway adorned with ivy, a secret square, or a charming café tucked away from the main streets, we’ll take you there.
