Stop At: Ancient Rome, Italy

After the pick-up at your accommodation, the driver will take you to the Colosseum where you will meet your private guide. Known as Flavian Amphitheatre, the Colosseum is one of the capital's most remarkable monument. It is an imposing construction that, with almost 2,000 years of history, will bring you back in time to discover the way of life in the Roman Empire. During that period, the Colosseum allowed more than 50,000 people to enjoy its finest spectacles. The exhibitions of exotic animals, the execution of prisoners, the recreations of battles and gladiator fights kept Roman people entertained for years. After the Colosseum, your time travel will continue with the spectacular ruins of the Roman Forum – the hub of ancient Rome. Here's where rousing political speeches were made, criminals were sentenced, goods were traded and where angry crowds assembled. The site, originally a marshy burial ground, was first developed in the 7th century BC, growing over time to become the social, political and commercial hub of the Roman empire. Signature sights include the Arch of Septimius Severus, the Curia, the Temple of Saturn and the Arch of Titus. At the end of this first part of the tour, you will reach the Palatine Hill, the most central of seven hills of Rome. In the Palatine Hill, you can see hundreds of ruins of the imposing buildings that were created for high Roman society in ancient. For a fresh perspective on Rome and its history, there’s no better place than the Palatine!

Duration: 2 hours 30 minutes

Stop At: Vatican Museums, Viale Vaticano, 00120 Vatican City Italy

The third part of the tour starts with the Vatican Museums, considered among the most beautiful museum complexes in the world. Equipped with one of the most beautiful art collections on the planet, they are rich invaluable works of Greek, Roman, Egyptian and Etruscan antiquity. They house a valuable collection of paintings ranging from the twelfth to the nineteenth century, with works by Raphael, Caravaggio and Leonardo da Vinci. The Museums also include some beautifully frescoed rooms such as: Raphael's Rooms, four rooms used by Pope Julius II as his residence decorated by Raphael; the art gallery containing paintings by Giotto, Leonardo, Caravaggio and Bellini, sculptures of classical art and masterpieces by Bernini, tapestries and mosaics; the famous Sistine Chapel, (named after its founder, Pope Sixtus IV) that the extraordinary genius of Michelangelo has made it one of the most celebrated artistic treasures in the world, visited every day by 20,000 visitors. The frescoes of the Creation and the Last Judgement (on the wall of the altar) are considered among the greatest and most intense masterpieces of art history. In the face of such beauty, how can we not agree?! We will continue towards St. Peter's Basilica, built in the sixteenth century, entering through a hidden door from which only participants in organized tours can access. You can admire the "Pieta" by Michelangelo and then move on to other works, such as the famous canopy by Bernini. The largest Christian Basilica in the world leaves everyone who visits it fascinated. At the end of the tour, thanks to the genius of Bernini, the colonnade of St. Peter's Square offers a magnificent glance: positioning, in fact, on the disks of porphyry in the square you can see all the columns perfectly aligned one behind the other as if, by magic, they had moved.

NOTE: On Wednesday morning, due to the Papal audience, the Basilica might be closed. In this case, the explanation of it will be done from outside.
