Tour through ancient Rome
Begin your journey through time diving into the details of the most prominent landmarks of Rome with your guide beside you. This holistic itinerary takes you to famed monuments and lesser-known wonders like the Teatro Marcello, an amphitheater that transformed into a residential structure as time evolved. At the Roman Forum, get a glimpse of life in ancient Rome as you stand in the Temple of Saturn and hear the echoes of political speeches delivered at the Rostra. On your tour, you'll also get to witness the beauty of the Basilica of Maxentius firsthand, the muse that inspired the likes of St. Peter's Basilica!
Michelangelo’s genius
Everyone knows about Michelangelo’s David, but did you know that the famous artist and sculptor also tried his hands on architecture? And he didn’t just try, he excelled! Climb up the iconic Capitol Hill to witness the geometric genius behind the Piazza del Campidoglio. Be amazed by how Michelangelo transformed a complex irregular space into a harmonious square. Step through the symmetrical facades of Palazzo dei Conservatori and Palazzo Nuovo to see Roman sculptures of the Capitoline Museum. Here, you'll find masterpieces like the she-wolf nursing her twins and the only remaining bronze equestrian statue of ancient Rome.
