Highlights
  • Piazza Venezia - Be amazed by the colossal white marble monument where the eternal flame always shines to pay respect to the unknown soldiers who fell during the war. Two soldiers guard it day and night to ensure it never goes out.
  • Roman Forum - Marvel at the size of the largest political and commercial hub of the Ancient Roman Empire, as you drive by the ruins of grandiose temples, basilicas, and public spaces leading to the Colosseum.
  • Appian Way (Via Appia Antica) - See the most important road of Ancient Rome, which was essential in transporting troops and goods in and out of Rome. Today, part of a splendid national archeological park.
  • Pantheon - Step inside the most ancient building in Rome to marvel at the “Oculus” in the center of the dome and the opulence of the marbles and the exquisite details of the statues all around you.
  • Piazza Navona - Rome is for real an open-air museum, as testified by this awesome square where you can admire the best example of Baroque art in its exquisite fountains. Why not enjoy a nice gelato as you stroll around the piazza?
  • Spanish Steps - Climb the 138 steps that lead to the church of Trinità dei Monti for a spectacular view of the square below, or just walk around the square to enjoy one of the most acclaimed spots in the Eternal City.
  • Trevi Fountain - Time to throw your coin in the Trevi Fountain for good luck and a safe return to Rome, but you need to do it right! Turn your back to the fountain, hold the coin in your right hand and toss it over your left shoulder!
  • Catacombs of Saint Callixtus - Ancient Roman law prohibited the burial of the deceased inside the city walls, so they were built along the Appian Way, which was outside the walls. They are a network of passageways that can stretch for over 15 miles underground, so visiting them is only permitted with the aid of a catacomb guide provided by the site.
  • Colosseum - The ancient amphitheater used for gladiatoral contests, its iconic architecture reflects Roman engineering prowess and has made it a symbol of ancient Rome.

Best private tour - must for Rome - We had the best VIP experience with Italy Private excursions ! Francisco was a very insightful, attentive and helpful tour guide / driver. The entire experience was so beautiful and helped me and my husband appreciate and understand the true beauty of Rome. If you are looking for an all in one experience this is it. Get the sedan upgraded for a more spacious luxury experience. I will definitely be recommending to my family and friends .

Perfect day, excellent customer service, perfect driver! - We booked the Hidden Rome tour over Sarah, who was highly responsive and honest. Everything worked out perfectly on the day- our driver (Peter) was highly knowledgable, showed us even more secret treasures of Rome than were promised on the itinerary. Some members of our group had repeatedly been to Rome previously, but the tour still took them to unknown attractions.
