About this tour

A three-hour private guided tour of Rome's central landmarks, with the option to add a driver and vehicle to reach sights further out. You'll see the Pantheon's exterior, wander through Piazza della Minerva and Piazza di Pietra, toss a coin at Trevi Fountain, and climb the Spanish Steps. The vehicle option lets you add Circus Maximus and the famous keyhole view without burning out on Rome's pavements.

Highlights

  • Trevi Fountain coin toss and crowds managed by your guide
  • Spanish Steps without the worst of the tourist crush
  • Pantheon exterior and surrounding piazzas on foot
  • Circus Maximus and keyhole view from a vehicle (optional upgrade)
  • Private guide for three hours, your pace and questions
  • Hotel pickup and drop-off available for city centre stays

What to expect

Your guide will lead you through Rome's central streets, stopping at iconic spots and explaining their history and quirks. Walking covers the Pantheon, Piazza della Minerva, Piazza di Pietra, Piazza di Colonna, Trevi Fountain, and the Spanish Steps—a mix of monuments and public squares where locals and visitors collide. If you've booked the vehicle option, you'll drive to outer sights like Circus Maximus and the Aventine keyhole viewpoint instead of walking the whole route. Pace is flexible; your guide adjusts based on your interests and energy.

Good to know

Cover knees and shoulders—no shorts or sleeveless tops—before entering any place of worship. The tour runs in all weather; dress accordingly. Some attractions have tight spaces where prams must be carried by hand, and not all areas accommodate wheelchairs due to Rome's ancient layout. Entrance fees aren't included.
