Your private tour of Rome in a day begins in front one the iconic Colosseum. You will have priority access, only having to pass a quick security check before diving into the ancient Roman world around you. Your guide will tell stories of gladiator and animal fights as well as theater performances that took place right where you are standing. Walk up to the higher levels and experience the amazing views the noble Romans would have enjoyed, all while looking over the Palatine Hill and Roman Forum.

Known as ancient Rome’s most exclusive neighborhood, Palatine Hill is still covered by the ruins of Emperor Domitian’s palace. You will discover the wonders of the Forum, including the Temple of Julius Caesar, all in the company of your expert guide.

As you finish up, hop in to your waiting chauffeured Mercedes that will take you through the cobblestone-lined heart of Rome allowing you to admire the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, and the Pantheon, as you experience the hustle and bustle of daily Roman life.

Your chauffeur will take you to your next stop, The Vatican. But before entering you will take a quick stop for lunch and to recharge. After, your day continues by visiting the Vatican with skip-the-line tickets. Please note that lunch is not included in the price of your tour.

Once inside the Vatican, your guide will accompany you on an exploration of the vast collection of one of the world’s best museums. After you’ve seen the Gallery of Maps, Gallery of Tapestries, the Raphael Rooms, and plenty more, your guide will take you to see Michelangelo’s masterpiece – the Sistine Chapel.

Your tour will end in the magnificent St. Peter’s Basilica which will leave you knowing that you have seen the best of Rome from start to finish.

  • Very pleased with our tour

    We had a great tour in Rome. Guilia was very knowledgeable and professional. She was very concerned about my wife’s mobility issues and adjusted the tour for us. Christiano was very professional and a great driver. Should we get back to Rome we’ll certainly use your company and I’ll recommend you to others

  • Private tour of Rome

    My husband and I booked a personal tour with LivItaly online before our vacation to Rome... Very easy to book,.. We were given detailed instructions on when and where to meet, and Patricia was already there to personally greet us... Patricia is a local and very knowledgeable of Rome... Her background in history/archeology gave us the extra education we were excited to learn about... Thank You LivItaly!

  • Excellent tour

    We highly recommend this tour. My husband and I learned so much from our guide Dario. He was able to customize our two tours to compensate for my husband's mobility issues. We had never been to Rome and in between the Vatican and Colosseum we got a City Tour, visit to the Pantheon and a chance to look through a special key hole. We will never forget this experience and this city.

  • Special thanks to Luca!

    Thank you so much to Luca for the fun and informative trip through the Vatican. Luca knows his stuff!!! He was FULL of knowledge and made the visit so much more meaningful. The LivItaly guides really know what they are doing and how to make the most of your trip for you! We actually did the full day - Vatican, drive to different points, then the colosseum. We had already visited a lot of the places that are normally on the drive so Luca made new suggestions & arranged everything with the driver for us! We highly recommend LivItaly!!!!!
