Itinerary
Day 1 Rome
Welcome to Rome!
Meet our driver at the airport and transfer to your hotel. Start exploring the city with your daily ticket for our Hop-On Hop-Off open bus tour, included in the package. It’s the perfect way to get your first glimpse of Rome and admire its most iconic landmarks. You can choose to stay on board and enjoy the panoramic views in comfort or hop on and off at any stop to explore at your own pace — the choice is yours!
In the evening, you’ll have the opportunity to dine in a traditional Roman trattoria and discover culinary traditions that date back centuries. Don’t worry — we’ll suggest some excellent options for you to choose from, and if you wish, we can reserve a table on your behalf (at your own expense).
*You may also use your ticket on a free day without scheduled activities. Please let us know your preference at the time of booking.

Day 2 Rome
Today a must-see for every traveller who visits Rome: the Colosseum, the symbol of Rome!
You can now take advantage of our exclusive prime service and enjoy this day in the most relaxing way. Wake up in the morning at your centrally located hotel and after breakfast wear a pair of comfortable shoes and wait for our driver to come and pick you up: you’ll reach the archaeological area to join your group.
Once inside, breath the bloody past of the Amphitheatre and its atmosphere led by passionate and expert guides. This huge travertine and tuff structure could hold between 50,000 and 80,000 spectators, all hungering for pretty gory shows such as hunting games or gladiatorial fights.
The tour includes also a guided walk in the Roman Forum, the cultural and political center of Ancient Rome, as well as a stroll around the Palatine Hill, the area where the city of Rome was legendary founded by Romulus and where the emperors used to live for centuries.
The remainder of the day is at your disposal to discover Rome on your own.

Day 3 Rome
After a rich breakfast, you will meet your driver who will take you to the meeting point with your local foodie guide.You will enjoy a lovely walking tour through local food markets, grocery stores and gelato shops in the areas of Campo De’ Fiori, Trastevere, and the Jewish Ghetto.
We know that walking makes one hungry, that’s why we thought you’d appreciate some pit-stops! You’ll enjoy a slice of freshly baked crispy “Pizza Bianca” (Rome’s own version of focaccia) cut in half horizontally and filled with thin slices of freshly cut “mortadella”: a traditional, more-Roman-than-the-Colosseum easy snack that locals love. And what about trying a “Supplì”? This little ball of deep-fried tomato sauce risotto with a heart of melted mozzarella cheese is everyone’s favourite street food. Pasta will be on the list too, along with some dishes from the Roman Jewish tradition: “Carciofo alla Giudìa”, a deep-fried artichoke that looks like a tiny sunflower, as well as “Filetto di Baccalà”, a battered and deep-fried fleshy cod fillet. Save some space for dessert, because we won’t skip our portion of artisan “Gelato”!
At the end of this experience, meet your driver to head to Vatican area, ready to join your group. Meet your professional guide and take a tour of the Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel and St.Peter’s Basilica! Admire the Gallery of Tapestries, the Geographical Maps and the beautiful Raphael’s rooms before arriving at the Sistine Chapel, Michelangelo’s masterpiece! After the Sistine Chapel you will be taken, to St. Peter’s Basilica. At the end of the tour, time at your leisure to discover hidden corners of Rome.
