You will be picked up at the cruise ship pier by your private driver and vehicle.
Your itinerary choices are your own. Stop and start as you like or use your driver for his knowledge of the area.
Your tour begins with the Ancient Rome of Emperors: Capitoline Hill, the famous Colosseum (from the outside), Palatine Hill, Circus Maximus, the Thermal Baths of Caracalla, Ancient Appian Way, the Catacombs, the Pantheon, and Aula Ottagona.
There is also the Renaissance and Baroque Rome of Popes, including the Trevi Fountain, the beautiful Spanish Steps, St. Peter in Chains, Navona Square, Farnese Square, Janiculum Hill, and, of course, St. Peter's Basilica.
St. Peter's Basilica will be our final stop, but remember that there are days when its entrance is blocked. We may have to substitute a site when that happens.
If you are interested in seeing something particular or dining at a specific restaurant, please let us know and we will make those arrangements for you.
