Private Tour of Colosseum, Roman Forum & Vatican With Transfers

Description

After meeting your private tour guide and driver at your accommodation, you will be taken, with one of our luxury vehicles, to the world’s largest amphitheatre and with your “skip the line” ticket, you will proceed into the metal detector control. Once inside, the tour guide will bring the Colosseum back to life by explaining how the gladiators entertained the crowds with spectacular fights. You will learn the complex engineering applied by the Romans to build, what is still considered, as the most technologically advanced, entertainment complex of its time.

After the Colosseum, you will proceed into the archaeological site of the Roman Forum, which represented the commercial, legal and administrative center of Ancient Rome. You will literally feel as if you were brought back in time during the Imperial age of Rome. All of this, while walking by the ruins of ancient temples and Roman mausoleums, such as: the senate building and the original altar where Julius Caesar’s body was cremated.

From the Roman Forum, your driver will pick you up and take you way across town to explore the world renowned Vatican museums and two of the most important churches in the world, the Sistine Chapel and St. Peter’s Basilica. The greatness of the façade and care of details inside will overwhelm you. Highlights of the Basilica include: Michelangelo’s Pieta’, the imposing 29 meter tall Baldacchin by Bernini and the mosaics that decorate the whole ceiling.

During the whole visit, your guide will fill you on the historic, religious and artistic significance of the works and accomplishments, as well as, the stories of the artists themselves.
