Take a whirlwind tour of Rome in just one day! This Tour is all about Rome's 8 best attractions: the Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel, St. Peter's Basilica, Trevi Fountain, Spanish steps, Circus Maximus, the Palatine Hill and Colosseum views. A Private team will take you to the Vatican for a complete guided visit. Your chauffeur-driven luxury car will stop right next to the above city sights; this part of the tour is totally customizable! Your guide will share anecdotes with you about Rome's past and present.
