Departure from your hotel, airport or elsewhere in Rome with
your private tour guide and start your tour visiting the
fascinating Ancient Rome: Capitoline Hill to
enjoy
the spectacular panoramic view of ancient Temples,
Triumphal-archers, the Senate House, Basilicas and Sacred Way
which surround the old Roman Forum, hub of political, religious
and commercial life during republican and imperial days and now
forming one of the most historical archaeological complexes in
the western world. Visit the nearby elegant renaissance square
adorned by the bronze equestrian statue of Marcus Aurelius,
father of the infamous Emperor-gladiator Commodus. See the
Circus Maximus of Ben Hur fame with its impressive views of the
sprawling ruins of the Emperors' Palaces on Palatine Hill. Then
proceed to the Coliseum and hear about the bloody gladiator
combats, the wild animal
games
and astonishing events held there to satiate the 70.000 excited
roman spectators. Circle around Piazza Venezia, dominated by the
massive looming "Wedding Cake" marble honorary monument erected
in 1885 to commemorate King Victor Emmanuel II and drive to the
Quirinal
Palace, official residence of the Italian President originally
built by Popes in the 1580s as their splendid summer residence
.Descend to the cascading waters of the Trevi Fountain, the
grandest of Rome's baroque fountains, still fed by an ancient 19
BC roman aqueduct and toss a coin into its gushing sprays to
propitiate a sure return-visit to the Eternal City. Stroll by
the Spanish Steps, favorite spot of European nobles during the
Grand Tour era as well as haunt of poets, writers and painters
in the Romantic age. Pass Palazzo Chigi, seat of the government
and
the nearby Italian Parliament as you make your way to Piazza
Navona, which is, today, the most loved meeting place of romans
and embellished by Bernini's fountains and the Pamphili Palace.
After an inside visit to the awe inspiring Pantheon constructed
by Emperor Hadrian in 120 BC, spanned by a solid concrete dome,
the largest in the world, enjoy a light lunch or snack in one of
the numerous cafés or bars in the picturesque and operatic
square facing the monument. Subsequently cross the
River Tiber to the Vatican City, smallest sovereign state in the
world, to visit the immense Papal art collections housed in the
Vatican Museums once part of the Papal Palaces and the Sistine
Chapel. After admiring the numerous artworks and masterpieces of
Raphael and Michelangelo, visit St. Peter's Basilica and the
great baroque Colonnaded Square protected by Swiss Guards. At
the end of your extraordinary full-day discovery of Rome be
accompanied back to your indicated point in Rome or Fiumicino
airport.
