Tour Description
Your personal Rome guide will take you to the famous Piazza di Spagna and Bernini’s Barcaccia Fountain, from where you will continue to the stunning Trevi Fountain, the largest Baroque fountain in Rome.
From there, walk to the Piazza della Rotonda and enter the historic Pantheon. Built in 27 B.C., the Pantheon was dedicated to all the Roman gods, and in the 7th century was converted to a church dedicated to Mary and the martyrs.
The Quirinal Palace is your next stop, located on top of the highest of the seven hills of Rome. For over 300 years, it was used as the summer residence of the popes, before becoming the palace to the King of Italy in 1870. Following 1946, it later became the seat of the Presidents of the Republic.
From there you’ll wander on to admire Bernini’s magnificent 4 Rivers Fountain in the center of the iconic Piazza Navona. The square also features other important sculptural and architectural creations, including the Church of Sant’Agnese in Agone by Borromini, Palazzo Pamphili, the Neptune Fountain at the northern end, and the Moor Fountain at the southern end.
You’ll later complete your evening walk at Campo de’ Fiori. This bustling piazza is a perfect launchpad for you to go on and enjoy lunch, dinner or grab a drink. Be sure to ask your guide for recommendations as they know all the hidden gems.

Review of: Skip the Lines Vatican Tour: Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel & St Peter’s Basilica
“So glad we took the skip the line tour. Not only did we go right into the tour and skip the long lines), but our tour guide Andrea (spelling?) was very knowledgable and made our tour very enjoyable. It was awesome to be in the presence of such history and to learn the special back stories. I would do this again!”

Review of: Skip the Line Ancient Rome and Colosseum Underground Tour
“We were so excited (and not disappointed) to see the Colosseum, underground included, but were so impressed by the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill portions of this tour ... absolutely stunning! You know you are going to get a history lesson on a tour like this but it was more than a lesson ... it was a history experience.”
