Stop At: Palatine Hill, Piazza Santa Maria Nova, 53, 00186 Rome Italy
The impressive Basilica of Maxentius and the stately Arch of Titus will introduce the panoramic hill of the Palatine, where Emperors lived. It is the most ancient part of Rome, where Romulus founded the “Square Rome”, destined to become the world’s biggest Empire. Augustus, Tiberius, Maxentius and many others decided to build their Palaces here, among the remains of Romulus wall and the huts dating back to 4.000 years.
His panoramic position still offers amazing views on the Eternal City! Just the view of the Circus Maximum from the Palatine Hill is worth the tour.

Stop At: Vatican Museums, Viale Vaticano, 00120 Vatican City Italy
After the visit of the Ancient Rome, our driver will lead you to the Vatican Museums, where you will admire an infinite number of masterpieces by Bernini, Raphael, Michelangelo, Botticelli, Perugino, Pinturicchio and other treasures all incredibly united in this unforgettable visit. The numerous Popes that have lived here continuously enriched it, but the unmissable Sistine Chapel and its sublime “Last Judgment” by Michelangelo are surely the real attraction. Among the galleries, you will surely appreciate the collection of mosaics, ancient Greek and Roman sculptures and the most worthy Raphael Rooms, once the official residence of the Popes. With our guide, you will enter the 16th century Saint Peter’s Basilica through a special door. The largest and richest Basilica in the world will welcome you with Michelangelo’s “Pietà” and, thanks to its many details, it will be able to amaze you. The last part of the tour will leave you with the embrace of Bernini’s immense colonnade at St. Peter’s Square and the view of Pope’s Balcony.
