The perfect introduction to the magical splendour of the Eternal City, our Rome at Twilight Tour is just the thing to get you started on the first evening of your Italian adventure. There’s nothing quite like strolling through the unforgettable streets of Rome’s historic centre as the soft glow of sunset diffuses along extraordinary piazzas, fountains and landmarks.

2. The VIP

Colosseum Underground and Ancient Rome

 

Sometimes you need to stand out from the crowd. If you’re the kind of traveller that’s always looking for something to make your experience unique, then you owe it to yourself to join our exclusive VIP Colosseum Underground tour. We’ll be going behind the scenes at the ancient world’s most iconic landmark, descending into the dark tunnels beneath the amphitheatre where gladiators and wild animals awaited their turn on the sands of the arena above. And if that isn’t enough to get your pulse racing, then we’ve got another treat in store: after exploring the Colosseum’s underground we’ll get the unique opportunity to walk onto the floor of the arena itself, treading in the very footsteps of the gladiators that enthralled legions of Romans with their bloody deeds thousands of years ago. This is the Colosseum like you’ve never seen it before. 

3. The Traveller in a Rush

This comprehensive private itinerary has been meticulously designed to enable you to get the most out of a single day in Rome, visiting the Colosseum, Forum, Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel, Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps and much more on a whirlwind journey through 2,000 years of art and history in the company of an expert local guide. So let us do all the work and you can focus on what’s really important. Just because you’re short on time doesn’t mean you have to be short on wonderful memories!

4. The History Buff

Ostia Antica Tour: The Perfectly Preserved Port of Ancient Rome

 

As a committed history buff and regular visitor to Italy, you’ve been to the Colosseum a thousand times; you know the Roman Forum like the back of your hand, and you can navigate the labyrinthine streets of ancient Pompeii in your sleep. Fear not, that doesn’t mean your Italian adventures need to come to an end! Your next stop needs to be the extraordinary but often-overlooked archaeological site of Ostia Antica, the sea-port of ancient Rome located just a few miles from the Eternal City. Goods of all kinds arrived here from across the ancient empire, sustaining the largest city the world had ever known, and the ancient port is still in a magnificent state of preservation even today. Embark on a fascinating journey back in time with us as we stroll through streets, temples, apartments and warehouses still rich with the air of antiquity, and discover why Ostia might just be Italy’s best kept secret!

5. The Foodie

Let’s be honest: no trip to Italy is complete without a gastronomic exploration of one of the world’s great culinary traditions. Even better, why not learn to get down in the kitchen like a local with one of our cooking classes? Our classes take place in a traditional Roman kitchen with an expert local chef who will put you through your paces in whipping up some of the most iconic dishes of Italian cuisine, from fresh pasta to gnocchi, tiramisu and more. So grab your apron and join us for a special hands-on introduction not only to Roman cuisine, but to a very Italian way of life. And don’t forget, if you can’t wait to get to Italy to try your hand at some cooking alla Romana, then check out our virtual cooking class that you can take part in from the comfort of your own home!

6. The Art Lover

Villa Farnesina Experience: The Best of the Renaissance

 

For the art lover, Rome is an inexhaustible Aladdin’s cave of treasures that just keeps on giving. You’ll obviously be visiting the Vatican Museums and the Borghese Gallery to get up close and personal with some of the greatest Renaissance and Baroque masterpieces ever painted on your visit to Rome, but for a truly unforgettable and immersive slice of the Renaissance in Rome then you need to visit the Villa Farnesina. Built as a luxurious riverside retreat for the Pope’s personal banker and world’s richest man Agostino Chigi in the opening years of the 16th century, the wonderfully preserved Renaissance gem is decorated all over with Raphael’s extraordinary frescoes, a glittering array of mythologies that bring the vibrant world of 16th century Italy vividly to life. Quite simply, it’s our favourite artistic hidden gem in the Eternal City, and a truly unmissable highlight for all you art lovers out there!
