Take a picture in front of the magnificent Trevi Fountain while the afternoon crowds are still asleep. Learn about Rome’s incredible architectural marvel, the Pantheon, and admire the awe-inspiring dome inside. Learn about the style and artists behind the Baroque fountains and churches in Piazza Navona. Wander the city’s labyrinth of narrow, cobblestone streets and find the hidden treasures along the way. This Sunrise itinerary is perfectly designed to show you the calmer side of this timeless city, without the crowds of tourists!

Your LivTours Morning Tour of Rome begins with a fresh cornetto and a warm cappuccino. This early morning start allows you to see some of Rome’s most visited highlights while most of the tourists are still asleep! Your semi-private group is kept to 6 people or less in order for you to have a more intimate touring experience with your knowledgeable guide.

Start your day at the Spanish Steps. These 138 steps were designed to span the steep hill between two gorgeous piazzas. At this early hour, you can see them before they become lined with tourists and Romans taking a break. Walk the maze-like stone streets and admire centuries of art and architecture as you wander through this Eternal City.

You will visit one of Rome’s most beautiful landmarks, the Pantheon. Once a pagan temple, this structure is a feat of engineering genius that attracts both tourists and students alike. Learn about the centuries of transformation behind this iconic structure. Pass through the massive columns and see the tombs of important people such as the first King of Italy and the Renaissance artist Raphael. Watch as the sunlight crawls inside through the open oculus at the center of its famous dome.

Explore the picturesque Piazza Navona. Its oval shape is a clue to this piazza’s original use, a large stadium that once held 30,000 spectators! Today it boasts gorgeous Baroque art and architecture. See the famous Four Rivers Fountain by Bernini, complete with one of Rome’s many repurposed ancient Egyptian obelisks. Your guide will describe the complex symbolism as you circle it.

No visit to Rome would be complete without seeing one of the most famous fountains in the world, the Trevi Fountain. Still fed water today by one of the city’s ancient aqueducts, this Baroque masterpiece is in reality a celebration of water itself! In the early morning hours, you will have the rare opportunity to visit this iconic fountain without the crowds.

All LivTours Semi-Private Group Tours are limited to 6 guests per tour guide. Our commitment to maintaining our uniquely tiny group sizes can sometimes be a little tricky, mathematically speaking. For example, we want to ensure that traveling families and friends can tour together so on rare occasions we may add one or two guests in order to not split groups. On that same note, you may also find yourself on tour with less than six people! We thank you for your understanding and flexibility.
