Description

Explore the treasures of the Vatican and the ancient remains of the Colosseum in Rome on a tour with a private guide!

You'll meet your guide near the Vatican Museums. Your tour will begin by exploring one of the world's largest museum complexes. You'll wander through galleries rich in works of art, ancient sculptures, and Renaissance masterpieces.

You'll enter the famous Sistine Chapel, where you'll admire Michelangelo's frescoes, including "The Last Judgment" and the famous "Creation of Adam". Your guide will also introduce you to the works of Botticelli, Perugino and Bernini.

At the end of this first part, you'll enjoy about an hour's free time for lunch. Lunch is not included, but you'll find plenty of dining options nearby.

In the early afternoon, you'll head to the Colosseum, Rome's iconic monument. Thanks to your ticket, you'll avoid the long queues and quickly enter the amphitheatre. Your guide will explain the history of the site, describe the impressive architecture and immerse you in the atmosphere of gladiatorial combat and public spectacles of ancient Rome.

This comprehensive tour will allow you to discover two of Rome's greatest symbols in a single day, in the company of a passionate professional guide.
