Rome · CHRISTMAS
Good christmas tours fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 2 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Meet at Via Veneto 21 for a 1.5-hour Christmas program by the Schola Romana Ensemble. You’ll hear Roman Baroque music linked to the Sistine Chapel, visit the Capuchins Museum and bone-lined crypt, and choose an audioguide or small-group English tour.
“la explicación de guía sobre las catacumbas de los capuchinos y el concierto fue excelente la soprano es lo máximo.”
Meet your English-speaking local guide, possibly JoAn or Yash, at Babingtons Tea Room and walk from the Spanish Steps through Piazza Navona, the Pantheon, and Ponte Sant’Angelo to St Peter’s Square. Expect festive lights, Christmas customs, and a group of 15 or fewer.
“The guide JoAn was very helpful, nice, knowledgeable. The tour was great. Would do this one again!”
Pick a ruin, a ceiling or a table.
