Rome: A Stroll Through Time

Our journey begins in the heart of Italy, in the magnificent city of Rome. As the sun casts its warm glow on the cobblestone streets, we set out on a walking tour to discover the layers of history that this city conceals. Here are some of the highlights of our Roman adventure:

The Colosseum: Our tour kicks off at the iconic Colosseum, an ancient amphitheater that once hosted epic gladiator battles. Standing before this colossal structure, we couldn’t help but marvel at the engineering prowess of the Romans.
If you find yourself with limited time but still want to experience the grandeur of the Colosseum, you can opt for a Rome Express Tour. This shorter tour allows you to make the most of your visit to this iconic landmark, perfect for those with tight schedules.

The Roman Forum: Next, we meander through the Roman Forum, where the remnants of ancient temples, arches, and government buildings transport us back to the days of the Roman Empire. The history here is palpable.
For those interested in exploring the rich Christian history of Rome, we recommend considering our Christian Rome Tour. This tour delves into the city’s Christian heritage, taking you to historic churches, basilicas, and sites of religious significance, including Vatican Museums. It’s a fascinating journey through Rome’s spiritual past.

The Pantheon: Our steps lead us to the breathtaking Pantheon, a marvel of Roman architecture. The grandeur of its dome and the oculus that pierces through it are nothing short of awe-inspiring.

Trevi Fountain: We make a pitstop at the Trevi Fountain, a baroque masterpiece where tourists toss coins over their shoulders, ensuring their return to Rome. The sound of flowing water and the grand sculptures make for a mesmerizing sight.
If you’re passionate about art, you’ll be delighted to know that we offer a thematic tour: in the footsteps of Caravaggio that’s tailor-made for art enthusiasts. This tour takes you on a journey through Rome’s artistic heritage, exploring the life and works of the renowned artist Caravaggio.

Ape Calessino Tour: To add a touch of Italian charm to our Roman experience, we hop aboard an Ape Calessino for a vintage tour, with a three-wheeled vehicle that zips through the narrow streets. It’s a unique and fun way to explore the city’s hidden gems.

Wine Tasting in the Castelli Romani: No visit to Italy is complete without savoring its world-famous wines. We venture into the picturesque countryside of the Castelli Romani, where vineyards adorn the landscape. At a local winery, we indulge in a wine tasting in Frascati, accompanied by a delectable platter of rustic cheeses, cured meats, and bruschette.
However, if you’re eager to delve deeper into the Castelli Romani and explore more of its wine culture, consider our Weekend Castelli Romani Tour.

St. Mark’s Square: We begin our Venetian exploration in the iconic St. Mark’s Square, surrounded by splendid architecture, including St. Mark’s Basilica and the Doge’s Palace. Pigeons flutter about as we soak in the grandeur of the square.

Gondola Ride: Venice wouldn’t be Venice without a romantic gondola ride. We glide along the serene canals, passing under picturesque bridges, and our gondolier regales us with tales of the city’s history and legends.

Murano and Burano: We take a boat trip to the islands of Murano and Burano, known for their exquisite glass-blowing and lace-making traditions, respectively. Watching artisans at work and admiring their craftsmanship is a memorable experience.
