As the capital of the Roman Empire, Rome boasts an array of ancient monuments and piazzas that teem with tales of times gone by.

Our expert guide will introduce you to the best that Ancient Rome has to offer. You will learn of Rome’s Imperial past, from the birth in 1000 BC to the apex of the Empire 1,500 years later, visiting Palatine Hill, the Roman Forum and the world-famous Colosseum.

Palatine Hill is the spot where brothers Remus and Romulus battled over who would found the first empire, and where Romulus founded the city that would become Rome.

The Roman Forum, the second top attraction on this tour, is the heart of Ancient Rome, where politicians held rallies before elections, soldiers marched triumphantly down the Sacred Way and the Vestal Virgins decided if men lived or died.

And then you will visit the Colosseum, one of the world’s most iconic sights, inaugurated in AD 80. Our guides, experts in history and archaeology, will lead your Colosseum adventure.

Skip past the long entrance lines with your priority-access ticket and head straight inside to see where Rome’s brutal gladiatorial games and re-enactments of sea battles once took place in front of 82,000 people.

Spend your morning on this classic Rome tour, seeing all the top attractions in Rome’s historic center.

Our expert guides will tell you the stories and anecdotes behind the sights, pointing out the little details you wouldn’t notice on your own, making even the most ancient sites come alive.

Often referred to as an “outdoor museum”, the streets of Rome are home to some of the city’s finest art.

You will stroll along a myriad of cobbled footpaths and picturesque piazzas, pavement-side cafés, baroque churches, fountains and palazzos.

In three hours you’ll walk Rome’s compact historic center, visiting its most iconic sights and some of the lesser-known corners with stories of their own to tell.

You will visit Piazza di Spagna and the Spanish Steps.

You will throw a coin in the Trevi Fountain, the largest Baroque fountain in the city and one of the most famous fountains in the world. Do it according to legend: throw one coin to visit Rome again, two coins to fall in love with an Italian, and a third coin to marry one!

You will stroll to the Column of Marcus Aurelius, and Palazzo di Montecitorio – an elegant Bernini-designed palace that is now used as a parliament building.

You will visit the Rome Pantheon and marvel at the impressive architecture in its dome. Officially a church, the Pantheon contains several tombs of eminent Italians, like the Renaissance genius Raphael.

You will also taste Naples’ food with a gourmet lunch included in the tour. Naples is one of Italy’s culinary heavyweights, serving up the country’s best pizza, pasta and coffee, and many of its most-delicious seafood dishes, street snacks and sweet treats.

In the afternoon, you will explore Pompeii, Italy’s most famous archaeological site, and a UNESCO World Heritage Site like no other.

Pompeii, a lively city, got indeed buried in ash and pumice by Mount Vesuvius’ eruption in 79 AD.

Discover two UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Villa d’Este and Hadrian’s Villa, on this full-day trip to Tivoli.

This historic town lying east of Rome, in the breathtaking Monti Tiburtini hills, has been favored since ancient times as a popular summer retreat for wealthy Romans.

This getaway to the Roman countryside has a nice mix of history and nature.

During this wonderful excursion in the countryside you will learn interesting Renaissance history, discover awe-inspiring archaeological ruins and admire elaborate Italian-style gardens and dazzling fountains on a trip that’s sure to be as memorable as it is captivating.

Villa d’Este, listed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List, is a beautiful Renaissance garden and palace complex.

The villa was built in 1560 for Cardinal Ippolito II d’Este, and considered to be one of the most enchanting villas of the late Renaissance period: it influenced the development of garden design throughout Europe.

It’s famous for its magnificent garden of centenary trees, grottoes, more than 500 fountains (including a few famous Bernini-designed ones), pools, nymphs, waterfalls, and water sculpture.

Admire marvels such as the Fontana dell’Organo which has inside a water-operated organ delivering music as water flows through the fountain, or the Fontane di Tivoli e Roma, which feature reproductions on a smaller scale of the two cities. All the fountains – except for 2 – still operate on natural hydraulics.

Villa Adriana (Hadrian’s Villa), another UNESCO World Heritage site, was the extensive holiday residence of Emperor Hadrian dating from the 2nd century AD, at the peak of the Roman empire, and built as a souvenir of the monuments and sites he had admired during his travels in the East.

The ruins of the villa are truly impressive, and include the imperial palace, thermal baths, libraries, temples, theaters, and underground passages wide enough for cars.
