Rome · ROME CITY HIGHLIGHTS TOURS
The first-day problem: fountains, squares and ruins spread over four kilometres with no obvious order. The 15 below join them into one walk, ride or cart run, priced, with what each one skips.
See Rome from an open-top Big Bus with stops near the Colosseum, Vatican, Trevi Fountain, Pantheon, and Spanish Steps. Choose a 3-hour, 24-, 48-, or 72-hour pass, use the recorded audio guide and VOX walking tour, and track buses with the app.

“This was an amazing tour with a lot of very interesting information. Our tour guide did an amazing job of explaining the history and culture in Rome. There is so much to take in. Would highly recommend this to anyone who only has a short period of time in Rome or once an overview of the city at the beginning of your trip.”

“Oscar, the guide was amazing. He cared so much about us getting the most out of it, took an extra hour to show us more places. He is funny, engaging, a great story teller and knows the exact balance of how long and detailed to talk. The bikes are great and the whole admin team were super nice and helpful. Highly recommended!!”

The tour includes headsets, water, and a gelato stop, but no interior entries.

“A great tour of Rome. The opportunity to go into the Coliseum was amazing. Allow a lot of extra time to be able to get into the Vatican and see the library and the Sistine Chapel as the crowds are huge. We had to cut our time short so missed most of the Vatican.... a great tour but make sure you have the time.”
Spend about 3 hours and 15 minutes with a private guide through the Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel, and St. Peter’s Basilica. Guides such as Fabrizio, Dario, Massimo, Maximo, and Santi bring art to life, answer your questions, and help you handle the Vatican’s crowds and rules.
“Massimo is one of a kind. There’s no better way to experience the Vatican than with someone like Massimo who literally knows every worker, every piece of art, and how to get through the museums in a decent bit of time while not missing any of the highlights. He enriched the experience with his personality, attention to detail, and the lessons he shared using his iPad. We felt like we were royalty being escorted through the Vatican from the moment we met Massimo, and that alone made the trip 1000% worth it. There’s no better way to experience the Vatican than with Massimo.”
