This Rome tour will give you a good overview of the principal monuments.  We will enter into the ancient city through the Porta San Paolo gate, which is one of the principal gates of the Roman Aurelian Walls.   From here we will pass the Circus Maximus and see a spectacular view of the Palatine Hill with its Ancient Palaces.  This Hill is one of the most important hills because 2700 years ago it led to Rome’s foundation with its first king Romulus.  Here we will precede to the celebrated Piazza Venezia, situated at the base of the Capitoline Hill which meets one of the most important streets of the center of the capital, the Via Fori Imperiali. Following this road, you will be able to admire The Coliseum, originally known as the Flavian Ampitheater, which is probably the most famous one in the world.  It had a capacity to sit about 50,000 spectators that would marvel at the gladiator competitions (the entrance to the Coliseum is 11 euro, if you would like to go and avoid the lines please let us know in advance and we will purchase the tickets for you).Sistine Chapel The next stop will be the Spanish Steps so you can regard the amazing staircase that consists of 135 steps that was built to connect the Spanish Embassy (where the square takes its name from) to the Church of the SS. Trinita’dei Monti. At the magical Trevi Fountain good luck is to be acquired by throwing in a coin to this enormous and most noted fountain from the 17th century.

After a break for lunch the tour will carry on to the ultra famous Vatican Museums that contains the most numerous collection of art in the world including the rooms painted entirely by Raphael and the Sistine Chapel.
