Itinerary

About this tour, from the operator

Dear guests, this half-day tour of 4 hours allows travelers to visit the most famous places of Rome in style and comfort thanks to our fleet of new-brand Mercedes vehicles and to our professional English-speaking driver-guides, professionally skilled, who will not enter the sites but explain their historical features and stop you for pictures and an in depth-sight. You will be helped to capture the essence of the Eternal City that you will love and never forget, and you will also finally know the meaning of “All the roads lead to Rome.”
