Group: Best of Rome with Aperitif (In Rome)

About Your Private Group Tour:

Great for history buffs and those with limited sightseeing time, this tour lets you take in many of Rome’s major historical sites in a single day. Your group will explore the fascinating, iconic Colosseum and Roman Forum.  You’ll also take in several more central city highlights—The Pantheon, Piazza Navona and Trevi Fountain—which sit amid bustling modern shops and cafés. Guiding you will be an English-speaking history expert, whose knowledge will bring these ancient attractions to vivid life. You will finish your tour with a traditional Italian aperitif.

What We Love About This Tour:

• Gazing up at the open dome of The Pantheon—which is still considered an architectural marvel today
  
• Posing for pictures at one of the most-photographed sites in Rome: the Trevi Fountain
  
• Skipping entry queues to spend more time sightseeing
• Enjoy an Italian Aperitif in a traditional, cozy bar

Tour Itinerary:

Stop 1: Trevi Fountain

This massive, 18th-century Baroque fountain is the largest in Rome—and it gushes such an enormous volume of water that you’ll likely hear it from a block away as you approach. Once there, you can join the throngs of visitors admiring its grand travertine façade, its sprawling aquamarine pool, and its marble statues of Oceanus and his Tritons. You can pose for photos, or just pretend you’re in Fellini’s La Dolce Vita.

Stop 2: The Pantheon

When Michelangelo first saw this magnificent temple, he reportedly described it as appearing to be the work of angels. You’ll discover this sense of wonder yourself as you wander between its soaring Corinthian columns and beneath its stupendous, oculus-topped dome. Though nearly 2,000 years old, the structure is still the best-preserved remnant of ancient Rome.

Your tour finishes at one of Rome’s most famous, and beautiful piazzas: Piazza Navona. A sweeping, oval-shaped square that’s anchored by three historic fountains (including the Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi, or Fountain of the Four Rivers), it’s also a hub of nightlife for the modern city.
