Ancient Rome – Gladiators, Emperors & Living History

Step back thousands of years on today’s private walking tour. Begin at the Roman Forum, once the bustling political and spiritual heart of the ancient world. Wander among temples, arches, and the remains of civic buildings, including the Temple of Caesar and the Arch of Septimius Severus. Look up toward the Palatine Hill, where Rome itself was born.

Then it’s time for the star of the show — the Colosseum. Known in ancient times as the Flavian Amphitheatre, this colossal arena once held up to 70,000 roaring spectators. Standing inside its mighty walls is a moment you won’t forget.

After the tour, return to your hotel and enjoy a relaxed Roman evening.

Vatican Sightseeing – Masterpieces, Michelangelo & Sacred Splendour

Meet your guide and transfer to the Vatican, the world’s smallest independent state and home to jaw-dropping artistic treasures. Explore the private apartments of Julius II, wander through the Pinecone Courtyard, and admire the Gallery of Maps, Tapestries and Candelabra — each hall more impressive than the last.

Then step into the Sistine Chapel for a slow, awe-filled look at Michelangelo’s legendary frescoes and the remarkable story behind their creation.

Continue into St. Peter’s Basilica, where Renaissance architecture reaches its grandest expression. Marvel at the immense interior before stepping outside into St. Peter’s Square, framed by Bernini’s sweeping colonnades and crowned by Michelangelo’s dome.

Return to your hotel afterward and enjoy the rest of the day at leisure — Rome is yours tonight.

Please note: the Vatican is a sacred religious site, thus the dress code for visiting it is applied just as when you visit any church in Italy: no shorts, no uncovered knees and shoulders, no backpacks. Due to religious services, St. Peter's Basilica may be spontaneously closed; thus, entrance to St. Peter's Basilica may not be guaranteed.
