Best of Rome Guided Tour With Colosseum, Vatican, & Pantheon

Starting in the morning you’ll make your way over to the Colosseum before the crowds arrive, and take advantage of skip-the-ticket-line admission. Even though you’ve seen the Amphitheater in pictures, nothing will prepare you for the experience in real life. Hear stories of emperors and brave gladiators while taking in the atmosphere. Following in the footsteps of famous generals and emperors who once walked this road, you will head to the Roman Forum site. Admire the surroundings of temple ruins and listen as your guide points out and explains the important monuments and their history.

Then discover a city center like no other. Stroll around the characteristic, cobbled streets and explore the highlights of the area: Piazza Venezia, the Spanish Steps, the Trevi Fountain, and the Pantheon.

At the Vatican, you will skip the ticket lines with your priority access ticket. Inside the Vatican Museum your expert guide will introduce you to masterpieces of Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque art, as well as the sculptures of ancient Rome. In the Sistine Chapel, be amazed by Michelangelo’s paintings and the frescoes that adorn the walls and ceiling. Your last stop will be St Peter’s Basilica, where you will be overwhelmed by Michelangelo's great dome - the tallest dome in the world. Discover the chapels, tombs, and large monuments - many of which were created by Bernini. Do not miss the most famous marble statue, the Pieta, and breathe in the peace and beauty as you stroll around at your own pace.
