Full Description

Discover Rome in two intense days of history, art, and timeless wonders.

Day 1: Colosseum, Roman Forum, Palatine Hill & Catacombs

Begin your adventure with a guided tour of the Colosseum, the iconic amphitheatre of the Eternal City, where epic gladiator battles once took place. Continue exploring the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill, the political and religious heart of ancient Rome, among the ruins of temples, triumphal arches, and imperial residences....

After a break of about an hour, return to the meeting point and board the panoramic bus heading to the Appian Way, immersed in the greenery of the Roman countryside.

End the day with a guided visit to the Catacombs (San Callisto, San Sebastiano or Santa Domitilla, depending on availability): an underground labyrinth rich in frescoes, crypts, tombs, and early Christian symbols — a powerful testament of faith and resilience.

Day 2: Vatican Museums & Sistine Chapel

On your second day, dive into the heart of the Vatican. Admire with an expert art history Guide the extraordinary collections  of the Vatican Museums, including ancient sculptures, masterpieces by Raffaello, Caravaggio, and Leonardo, and richly decorated halls.

The visit culminates in the majestic Sistine Chapel, where you can marvel at Michelangelo’s masterpieces: The Last Judgment and The Creation of Adam.
