Full description

Meet your guide just steps from the Vatican and enjoy priority entrance, heading straight past the lines and inside the Vatican Museums. See the major works of art ranging from Ancient Greek and Roman sculptures to Renaissance masterpieces, and learn how these different eras are closely intertwined.

Much of this portion of the tour will be dedicated to the rooms of Raphael and the extraordinary ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. Gaze up at the breathtaking beauty and grandeur of Michaelangelo's most famous piece. Opt to stay inside the Vatican Museums as long as you like or go check out the wonderful St. Peter’s Basilica on your own.

Break for lunch and then regroup at the Colosseum to enjoy fast-track entry to the vast arena. Hear about the gladiator games that took place in the Roman Empire’s most impressive arena. Travel even further back in time as you enter the Roman Forum. Learn about the legendary founding of Rome on Palatine Hill.

Kolosseum und Forum Romanum top - Vatikan flop

Sehr gut organisierte Führung von Vincenzo . Pünktlich am Treffpunkt, kurze, verständliche Erklärung zum Ablauf, da Kolosseum und Forum Romanum auf der Agenda standen. Vincenzo hat im Vorfeld die Eintrittskarten organisiert, sodass unsere Gruppe (ca. 10 Personen) tatsächlich nicht in der Schlange anstehen mussten. Er hat die Führung durch das Kolosseum mit Fachwissen, Charme und Witz gestaltet. Er hat uns förmlich in die Zeit der Gladiatorenkämpfe zurückkatapultiert. Das Forum Romanum hat Vincenzo in der gleichen Qualität, kurzweilig und gut verständlich rübergebracht. Für mich bekommt er die höchste Punktzahl.
