You will be met at the Civitavecchia port by our private guide and driver for your 90 minute drive to Rome. Along the way our guide will give you information on the sites you will visit during your exciting day in the Eternal City. The first stop will be the Vatican State. Your visit to the Vatican, and its glorious art treasures, will be a highlight of your stay in Rome. View the vast collection of art and antiquities in the Vatican Museums; a guided tour takes you to the Candelabra Gallery, Map Gallery and the Tapestries. Visit the Sistine Chapel, where Michelangelo's ceiling fresco depicting the history of the creation and the Last Judgment overlooks Italian art masterpieces.

Visit St. Peter's Basilica, surrounding the world's largest church. While Bernini designed most of works found in the church, Michelangelo's Pieta is also housed here. Explore St. Peter's Square. In the afternoon we enjoy a panoramic city tour, see the most important of the Seven Hills of Rome, the Capitoline - home of Jupiter, Marcello's Theatre and the Jewish Ghetto. We are awed by the view of the ancient Imperial Palaces atop the Palatine Hill overlooking the Circus Maximum, where the Rape of the Sabines occurred. We're back on foot to visit the famous "Coliseum", the Arch of Titus and one of the best preserved Roman structures - the Arch of Constantine. Next we view the Roman Forum, Trajan's Column and the astounding "Wedding Cake" Monument to Victor Emmanuel in Piazza Venezia. The tour will end at the Trevi fountain to be sure that you will soon return to Rome. What a day!
