Day 1 Rome Today you begin your journey by boarding your international outbound flight to Rome. Upon arrival in Rome, you'll be met and transferred by private car to your hotel in the heart of the city. After settling in, you will have the opportunity to get your bearings in Rome with a privately guided tour of the city. This walking and driving tour of the city will include key sites such as the Piazza del Popolo, Piazza Navona and the Trevi Fountain. Day 2 Rome Explore the secrets of Ancient Rome today on a privately guided visit to the Colosseum and Roman Forum. These ancient structures offer an intriguing glimpse into the city's multifaceted past and are not to be missed.

Day 3 Rome Today you will have a private tour of the Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica learning about the incredible artwork held within the world's smallest city state.
