Rome · 2-HOUR EXPERIENCES
Every trip has one free day too few. These 4 2-hour experiences justify the slot, priced and timed so you can decide in minutes and get back to the fun part.
Spend two hours touring the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel with an English-speaking guide. Choose a group of 10, 15, or 20, see highlights such as the Gallery of Maps and Raphael Rooms when the route allows, and use priority entry to save time.
“The crowds, Michaelangelo story, tapestries. There wasn't a feeling of a "private" tour as we were among 100s of others.”
Spend two hours at Gruppo Storico Romano’s gladiator school on the Appian Way. You’ll visit its museum, wear a tunic, learn Roman sword techniques, hear about gladiator life, join a safe arena battle, and receive a certificate. English and Italian instruction is available.
“The team running this activity is great. We had a large group consisting of many families from all over the world and everyone had a great time. As an adult taking this course, I had a blast with my son. We met new friends and got to battle at the end which made his day as he defeated me in front of everyone!”
In a real Roman restaurant on Via della Croce, a chef such as Luca, Lillo, Irina, or Paola guides you through hand-made fettuccine and group-made tiramisu. The two-hour class includes equipment, a drink, your meal, and a certificate, with the Spanish Steps close by.
“My husband and I booked a cooking class while on our honeymoon. At first I was unsure about booking. However, I am so glad we did. The chef was great! He was very friendly and helpful. We both had so much fun. The pasta and tiramisu was delicious. We couldn’t believe how simple it was to make them. This was a great activity to get out of the sun for a bit (it was 38 degrees). Highly recommend booking!”
This two-hour private tuk-tuk tour links Rome’s major sights with quieter viewpoints, including the Orange Trees Garden, Pyramid of Cestius, and Janiculum Hill. Your multilingual driver-guide, such as Roberto, Fabio, Stefano, or Caesar, handles the route, commentary, hotel pickup, and a Prosecco stop.
“Excellent tour with Caesar. We went to some great places that we would have never seen on a typical ‘tourist’ tour. Local knowledge cannot be beaten and my wife took note of many local restaurants and other notable places. Pick up at hotel and drop off wherever you wish. Met people on the Vespa tour (part of the same family business) at a few locations we visited and everyone was enjoying themselves. Highly recommended and will do again!”
Pick a ruin, a ceiling or a table.
