You will start the tour meeting your friendly, professional guide at our meeting point in the very center of the city in Piazza Venezia. This square has been the center of the city for over 2000 years and the architects who shaped the view we see today range from Julius Caesar to Napoleon and even Michelangelo, whose artist’s studio was in this very square! Here you will learn about all the different influences that shaped Rome over its long history and made it the city that it is today. You will also get a view of the large monument Altare della Patria, more commonly known as the Vittoriano as it is a monument dedicated to Italy's first King.
10 minFrom Piazza Venezia, a short walk will take you to Largo di Torre Argentina where ancient temples stand towering over the actual spot where Julius Caesar was assassinated. Here you’ll learn more about Julius Caesar’s incredible life and gruesome death, how he went from an unknown soldier to ruling an empire, and why it was all so violently taken from him.
10 minFrom there the tour continues to the beautiful Baroque square of Piazza Navona to see the famous fountains designed by Bernini. Learn about his rivalry with Borromini, the great master who was building the Church of St. Agnes next door and the fight that this led to, and see the place where Tom Hanks almost drowned in the film ‘Angels and Demons’. Your guide will also give you insight into the tradition of having aperitivo on the square and tell you of the best places to partake in this Italian cultural experience.
15 minNext we go towards the Pantheon, the Christian church that was once a temple to all the Roman gods, and admire the architecture of the iconic freestanding dome that has stood in its original form since the emperors ruled Rome. Here, for those who want it, we have the opportunity to stop for a coffee or a gelato before moving on toward the Trevi Fountain, stopping on the way to see some hidden gems.
20 minThe Trevi fountain has become one of the most iconic monuments of the city and the backdrop for many on screen legends from Audrey Hepburn to James Bond, and throwing a coin over your shoulder into the fountain ensures that you will come back to the city. We will stop and admire the fountain while you learn the history of the site as well as exactly how to toss your coin into the fountain.
15 minLast but not least, the tour heads towards Piazza di Spagna and the world famous Spanish Steps. Surrounded by the top fashion brands today, the steps leading up to the church Trinita dei Monti have always been a fashionable place to hang out since they were completed in 1725 and have been a common haunt of artists, models and poets to this day. The tour ends at the top of the stairs looking over the city from one of the best views in town where you can soak it all in and wonder what is next for this ever-changing city.
