The Eternal City
Let the Eternal City enchant you as you stroll through its picturesque cobblestone alleyways and discover some of the world’s most famous sights – all in a single afternoon! We'll see the Trevi Fountain, Pantheon and the Spanish Steps along with many of the city's unsung heroes. With your expert, English-speaking guide on hand you'll get to know Rome, hearing the tales that bring every street corner to life.
Our Best of Rome tours start at the Spanish Steps, one of the most evocative spots in Rome. From there we trace a path through the cobbled streets of the city to the colossal Trevi Fountain – part water feature, part magnificent sculpture. Listen as your guide explains the strange history behind this famous monument, including the reason why there’s one spot from which the entire structure is hidden.
Discover Rafael's Death
You’re in the very heart of Rome now, where narrow streets snake out in every direction. We’ll stop at the Pantheon, where you’ll see Raphael’s tomb and learn the real cause of the famous artist’s death. Not so far away from here, it’s another artistic genius who steals the limelight. Perhaps the most beautiful square in all of Rome, Piazza Navona is home to spectacular Renaissance buildings and Gian Lorenzo Bernini’s beautiful 'Fountain of the Four Rivers', the sculpture that saved his reputation after he almost tore St. Peter's Basilica in half.
Our tour ends in Campo de' Fiori, a favorite hangout among locals. Like so many of the sights you’ll visit on your tour, this piazza has a history you never would have guessed, but with your expert guide on hand you'll feel like you can reach out and touch the past with your hand!
Get The History of Rome in No Time
With small group sizes of only 25 people or less, your Best of Rome tour will be unhurried, your guide easy to hear and interact with. In only 2.5 hours they'll introduce you to the very best of historic Rome, leaving only one question unanswered - what are you going to do with the rest of your trip? We’ll even stop for a gelato along the way (included in the price of the tour) so you can take a few minutes to soak up Rome’s famous ‘dolce far niente’, the sweetness of doing nothing.
