The perfect way to orientate yourself  with the city upon arrival!

We begin our tour at the Santa Maria Sopra Minerva Church, and finish at Piazza Navona, close to the best restaurants and the best atmosphere night-time Rome has to offer.

On the way, you will see the famous Trevi Fountain, where Enita Eckberg waded into the waters in Federico Fellini’s classic film, La Dolce Vita. We also visit the beautiful Campidoglio, designed by Michelangelo in his old age, from where you can enjoy a wonderful night-time view of the Roman Forum and Colosseum.

We also bring you to the Sacred Area, a 20th-century archaeological discovery of 4 1st-century BC pagan temples beneath one of the busiest squares in Rome today, and close to the site where Julius Caesar was murdered. This site is now better known for its modern purpose, as Rome’s Cat Sanctuary!

Also included are the famous monuments from Ancient Rome – the Pantheon and the Column of Marcus Aurelius.

Your guide will explain the secrets, history and legends behind the monuments, and show you the ones you didn't know were there!

We finish our tour at Bernini’s Fountain of Four Rivers (featured in Dan Brown’s novel Angels and Demons), situated in the lively yet peaceful Baroque square, Piazza Navona.

The tour is designed to show you Rome from all its ages, and the highlights of the tour date from all the great periods – Republican, Imperial, Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, 18th-century and the Modern era of independent Italy, symbolised by the majestic Victor Emmanuel Monument.

Our guides will explain the history and significance of the monuments, fountains, piazzas and buildings, and show you the best shopping areas and places to eat. 

We recommend this tour as an introduction to Rome, which will help you plan the rest of your itinerary. 

As well as being a great way to get some tips on the great places to go for dinner, gelato etc and how to avoid the tourist traps and scams, this tour will show you the story of Rome you didn't know. When taken with our other tours, you will have a greater appreciation of the history of the Eternal City, and how everything is linked together.
