This morning walking tour of Rome is the perfect introduction to the city’s famous classical sights. Plus, you’ll visit Vatican City and skip the long entrance lines at St Peter’s Basilica!

The basilica is the burial site of its namesake Saint Peter, who was one of the 12 apostles of Jesus and who is likely entombed below the basilica’s altar. Many popes have been interred at St Peter’s, and many of their tombs are considered works of art. During your guided tour, you’ll see that the basilica’s interior is lavishly decorated with marble and ornate gilding. Sculptures fill the basilica, some of which are found in niches and chapels, including Michelangelo's Pieta.

After you leave the Vatican, take a pleasant stroll through Rome's historical center with your local professional guide. Visit the gorgeous Piazza Navona, built on the ruins of the Domitian’s Circus and home to the famous Fountain of the Four Rivers, a 1651 masterpiece by Gian Lorenzo Bernini. See the Pantheon, the biggest concrete dome in the history of architecture and considered the forerunner of all modern places of worship. It is the most copied and imitated of all ancient works.

Then your guided tour will lead you to the world-famous Trevi Fountain. The Trevi Fountain is a triumphant example of Baroque art, with its soft, natural lines and whimsical creatures. The fountain is a true wonder, a jewel of water and stone that is nestled between the palaces of the historic center of the city. It is said that if you throw a coin over your shoulder into the water, you will be sure to return to Rome. So keep your change!
