Angels & Demons Tour, Rome, Italy A unique and interesting way to go sightseeing in Rome, this ‘Angels and Demons’ tour is inspired by Dan Brown’s novel, but there is no requirement for having it read it or being a fan of Brown’s (although it may help!). It’s a memorable way to explore the city’s lovely squares, fountains, architecture and churches, made interesting with the twist of visiting lesser-known sites where pagan and Christian symbolism intertwine. 15 minutes
Chiesa di Santa Maria del Popolo, Rome, Italy Your experience visiting the real-life locations that inspired the novel begins at Piazza del Popolo in the incredible Santa Maria del Popolo church (Temporary closed due to renovations. A comprehensive explanation will be provided from the Basilica's exterior). Here, your English-speaking guide will set the scene for your race against the clock through the eternal city. You’ll be invited to unlock centuries-old clues hidden in plain sight as you learn about Rome’s favorite sculptor: the inimitable Bernini. Your guide will play a key role in making your tour an unforgettable experience as you are led on a quest to separate fact from fiction and history from stories in the novel. 15 minutes
St. Peter's Square, Vatican City, Italy You will be escorted through the city by a comfortable air-conditioned coach. You'll head past the famous St. Peter’s Square at the Vatican, the epicenter of the action in the novel. 20 minutes
Santa Maria della Vittoria, Rome, Italy Next on, Santa Maria della Vittoria church where we’ll admire Bernini’s exquisite Ecstasy of St. Teresa sculpture (and scrutinize it for clues!). Your guide is an expert storyteller that will bring the novel to life for you, and will further enrich your experience by sharing the fascinating history behind each of the sites you will visit. 15 minutes
Pantheon, Rome, Italy Half way through the tour you will be offered a gelato or a coffee at one of Rome’s best café’s, Bar di Rienzo, located in front of the famous Pantheon, a welcome break as you continue to cover the city end to end in search of clues. (Please note: Admission to Pantheon is not included) 30 minutes
Museo Nazionale di Castel Sant'Angelo, Rome, Italy Your search for the secret meeting place of the Illuminati and the novels’ finale will culminate on the terrace of Castel Sant’Angelo. Originally built as a mausoleum for the emperor Hadrian, this impressive fortress served for many years as a safe-haven for Popes and is connected directly to the Vatican by a hidden passageway called “il passetto”, which you’ll be able to see from outside. Be enthralled as you listen to your guide expertly recount the dramatic climax of the novel as you admire the equally dramatic view of the city center as seen from Castel Sant’Angelo’s roof. 40 minutes

This was a wonderful tour. Rob is an amazing tour guide. He's extremely knowledgeable about Roman history and Dan Brown's Langdon Series. He took us on a highly entertaining journey through Rome's sites retracing Langdon's steps through the book. The motorcoach ride with it's comfy seats and AC was a treat given the stifling heat in Rome in June. Bravo to CityWonders for a fantastic tour.

Excellent tour with an extremely knowledgeable guide. We saw several important sites in Rome and learned a great deal of the history in addition to details related to the book and movie. Well worth the time and cost.
