Your LivTours Private Sunset Walking Tour of Rome starts by meeting your guide near the Spanish Steps. You will discover why this monumental staircase with 135 steps was funded by a wealthy French aristocrat. After spending time on the Spanish Steps, your guide will lead you into the maze of charming cobblestone streets and alleyways that make up Rome’s most historic quarter. As you stroll under the evening sky, your guide will share with you interesting stories and historical facts about the innumerable little fountains dotted around the city, beautiful buildings, and hidden piazzas you pass. Next, it is on to the Trevi Fountain, the largest Baroque fountain in the city. Appearing in several films, including Fellini’s la Dolce Vita, this elegant fountain which stands 86 feet high and just over 160 feet wide took over a century to build. Make sure you throw a coin in the fountain to return to Rome!

A short walk later you will come to the Pantheon, a former Roman Temple it is now a Catholic church. Dating back to 27 BC, it is a triumphal accomplishment in engineering; to discover how the construction materials of this immense site were brought from Egypt. Once you have finished admiring the most well-preserved monument from Roman times, your guide will lead you to the largest square in Rome, la Piazza Navona.
