Whether visiting Rome for the first time or greeting the city like an old friend, this three-hour exploration offers a fresh perspective for anyone interested in uncovering the history, art, culture - and most of all, context - behind of some of the city’s most popular destinations.

Begin your tour at the Piazza del Popolo—the “People’s Square”—where the three main streets of Rome’s historic center meet, resulting in a bustling square teeming with life. From there, discover ancient tombs, towering obelisks, and charming churches in the historic Tridente neighborhood.

Climb the Spanish Steps while learning about the history of this Roman icon, from its origins to its present-day popularity. Next comes the Trevi Fountain, a masterpiece of water and sculpture. Don't forget to toss a coin for good luck!

End with the awe-inspiring Pantheon. This architectural marvel is a testament to Roman engineering. Enter to see the world’s largest concrete dome from within and learn about the site’s transformation from a pagan temple to a Catholic church.

All along the way, your expert guide will bring Rome's rich history to life, discussing everything from emperors and gladiators to quirky Italian traditions and the city's love affair with gelato. Your guide will be your personal Rome attaché, answering all your questions and offering insider tips to make the most of your stay.
