  • Public transportation options are available nearby
  • Travelers should have at least a moderate level of physical fitness
  • A dress code is required to enter places of worship and select museums. No shorts or sleeveless tops allowed. Knees and shoulders must be covered for both men and women. You may risk refused entry if you fail to comply with these dress requirements
  • Please provide the full names of all travelers when booking. Failure to present a voucher with all travelers' full names at the ticket office to entry may result in denied entry to the Colosseum and Roman Forum.
  • Because of the growing popularity of the current pope Francis and his intense activity in organising mass events in the Vatican some areas might get closed last minute without previous notice. This has already happened this year and can happen again during your Vatican tour: the Sistine chapel and/or the Basilica of Saint Peter might not be accessible. In case of such events our tour guide will provide you with a valuable alternative focusing the tour inside the Vatican museums.
  • Each traveler must present a valid passport or ID document that matches the name provided at the time of booking for successful entry to the Colosseum and Roman Forum.
This experience is non-refundable and cannot be changed for any reason. If you cancel or ask for an amendment, the amount you paid will not be refunded.

    This entire tour was well worth the time, money, walking and everything! We learned so much and Paola was the best guide ever. Her knowledge of the city and history combined with her passion for what she does made this an unforgettable tour.
