What to expect

Your driver collects you from the hotel and takes you through Rome's historic core, stopping at major monuments where you'll exit the vehicle for guided walks. The pace is leisurely—you're not racing between sites. Expect to spend 30–60 minutes at each location, listening to your guide explain Roman engineering, daily life, and architectural details. You'll walk cobbled streets and climb steps, so comfortable shoes are essential. The car provides respite between stops. Lunch is your call; your guide can suggest spots near the itinerary.

Good to know

Book Colosseum tickets at reservation if you want interior access (€25pp); catacombs cost €10pp paid on site. Moderate fitness required for uneven ground and stairs. Strollers and wheelchair access available. Rome is warm—bring water and sun protection.
