Rome may not have been built in a day. But with the right guide, there’s no reason why you can’t see it in one day on this “extreme” Rome and Vatican adventure. Begin your tour with fast track entry to the Vatican Museums, Rooms of Raphael and the Sistine Chapel. From the commissioning of this colossal masterpiece to the finishing touches applied by Michaelangelo Buonarroti, your guide bring this majestic work of art to life before your eyes. After a break for lunch, regroup at the Colosseum and enjoy fast track entry to the vast arena, the Icon of Rome built in 72AD to seat up to 50,000 spectators. Once inside, your guide will paint an accurate picture of the Gladiator games that took place in the Roman Empire’s most impressive arena, helping you to decipher between fact, fiction, and the images portrayed by big-screen Hollywood blockbusters. Finish the day with a stroll through Renaissance Rome including the Trevi Fountain, Pantheon, and Piazza Navona.

Tour guide was late. Some info was incorrect. Nothing fast about anything she did that day. We left the tour after an hour and went on our own. Saw the Sistine chapel and went to the Vatican where the pope was speaking that day. An amazing experience was only had because we left this tour. Waste of money

We couldn’t understand the guide. We speak English and although she was her Italian accent made it impossible to understand.

The ticket information stated for us to arrive no later than 8:45. However, when we arrived at 8:35, the office door was padlocked shut. An employee arrived at little after 8:45 to open the business. While not a dealbreaker, it was a bit disconcerting for those of us waiting outside. This tour is split into 2 parts: Vatican in the AM, Center city Roma in PM. Vatican Tour- my husband and I would rate this part of the experience with 3 stars. We stood in one place for extended periods of time listening to the guide. The pace was quite slow. While informative, the tour guide often had a negative tone. She shared multiple negative personal interactions she experienced with previous guests. The Vatican is so big and full of history, however, is was difficult with so many people in each small/medium sized room when it felt like we weren’t moving. A lot of walking is not bad, but standing in one place for too long in a packed area was uncomfortable for us. Coupled with the negative tone of the guide, we did not enjoy our time at the Vatican. Roma Center City Tour- we would rate this part of the experience with 5 stars. Our guide, Luigi was knowledgeable and personable. He was very conscious of his pacing in terms of when to pause for a break and when to continue on. He consistently called all 9 of his tour guests by name involving everyone in the experience. We highly recommend this portion of the tour. While the guides cannot control the incredible amount of people jammed into the Vatican, we wonder how different our experience would have been with a tour guide like Luigi.
