Full description of the tour

Your English speaking tour driver will welcome you at your hotel or any other place of your convenience at 8.30am for this private Rome full day tour.

Start your Rome full day tour with a visit to Piazza Venezia, dated up to the early 19th Century.

It is dominated by a huge monument in honor of Vittorio Emanuele II, also known as the “the wedding cake”, because of its distinctive shape.

Capitol Hill and Roman Forum are perfect, to enjoy the breath taking sceneries of Rome. You will appreciate the enchanting view of the Roman Forum, the religious, political and commercial hub of ancient Rome. Within a few minutes, you’ll find yourself into the magnificent Piazza Del Campidoglio, commissioned by Pope Paul III. It was designed and partly laid out by Michelangelo from 1536 onwards, for the visit of the emperor Charles V.

Not very far away from here, there is the Jewish ghetto where you can explore the interesting history of the Jewish community in Rome. Confined inside a high wall enclosure, people were obliged to live in it and forced to wear a distinctive symbol on their clothes identifying them as Jews by the church during Pope Paul II’s authority.

After visiting so many wonderful locations, you will finally arrive at Piazza Navona

The most extravagant of Rome’s Square, adorned with the fountain of The Four Rivers by Bernini, and the church of his rival, Borromini.

During your Rome full day tour, make sure to visit Piazza Della Rotonda, where you can see the Pantheon, the best preserved and enchanting monument of ancient times. This architectural masterpiece was an excellent test of the abilities of architects in ancient Rome.

You’ll continue with a stop in the Aventine Hill, from where you will enjoy the picture-perfect view of the Eternal City.

Then see the Circus Maximus, where there were very bloody chariot races at the time of imperial Rome, as we can see in one of the classic American movies, Ben Hur. The Coliseum, known also as the “Flavian Amphitheatre,” could contain 50,000 spectators to watch fights between beast and men, gladiatorial contests, races, and naval battles.
