(Approx. 3 hrs)
** Free Sale ** - Owned and Operated by GARTOUR
With our Vatican Elite Tour, you will join a small group walking tour of the
Vatican Museums and St Peter's Basilica, and skip the line by booking ahead!
With 2000 rooms filled with the most extensive collection of art in the world
you will be lead by an expert guide along the history of this outstanding
Museum. You will marvel at the sight of the Sistine Chapel, one of the most
famous and visited sites in the world. Ordered in the late 15th century by Pope
Sixtus IV (hence the name “Sistine” Chapel), it is the most emblematic
example of papal patronage during the Renaissance period. Thanks to the
genius of Michelangelo, you will have an unforgettable experience. This great
artist created the masterpiece painting on the ceiling, The Creation of Adam,
as well as the incomparable Last Judgment, on the altar wall. But the Vatican
Museums are not just the Sistine Chapel... along the tour our guide will show
you more art jewels such as the Pio-Clementino halls with the Laocoon and
Apollo Belvedere, the Candelabra, Tapestries and Maps Galleries. We will then
leave the Vatican Museum and proceed to the imposing beauty of Saint Peter’s
Basilica. Its dome was designed by Michelangelo who also designed the plan
of the Renaissance church. Inside this church we will experience the beauty of
the world famous sculpture La Pietà (another Michelangelo masterpiece and
the only sculpture personally signed by the artist). And in the meantime, we
will discover the originality of another art genius, Gian Lorenzo Bernini.
Thanks to him you can admire the extremely impressive Baldachin Altar (in gold and bronze), and the splendid Colonnade
in St. Peter’s Square. In booking this tour, you will find it to be the highlight of your holiday. Join us for this unique art
experience within such rich architectural history. The tour ends in St. Peter’s Square, you can then decide to stay in Vatican
city for the rest of the day, or join any of our other afternoon Elite Tours.

landscape of the city is punctuated by a never-ending series of
picturesque squares and monuments. With this 3 hour walking tour

you will move in centuries and discover top attractions of Rome. This

characteristic squares in Rome with its “open-air” market and the
statue of Giordano Bruno in the centre. Next to Campo de’ Fiori we
will admire the magical charm of Piazza Farnese, which takes its
name from the imposing Palazzo Farnese. A few steps from Palazzo
Farnese stands Palazzo Spada. The building is worth a stop thanks to
the brilliance of forced prospective introduced by the famous architect
Borromini. Proceed then to Piazza Navona, one of the most famous
squares in the world. Its original shape repeats with extreme
faithfulness the perimeter of the ancient stadium of Domitian built in 89 A.D. . The symbol of the square is the “Fountains
of Four Rivers”, designed by Gian Lorenzo Bernini and competing with Borromini’s famed church S.Agnese in Agone. In a
ten minute walk we reach Piazza della Rotonda housing the unmistakable structure of the Pantheon (inside visit). The
Pantheon, a building of ancient Rome, has been well preserved and is a true masterpiece of architecture. Once inside, our
expert guide will be glad to give a short explanation about the history and the architectural secrets of the building. In the
centre of the square there is a fountain with a mist linear plan designed by Giacomo della Porta. From Piazza della Rotonda
the distance is short to Piazza Colonna, thus named after the 2nd century marble column celebrating the victories of the
Emperor Marcus Aurelius over the Germanic populations. The square is the centre of the Italian political life, which
gravitates around Palazzo Chigi, the seat of the Prime Minister. We
then cross Via del Corso and we reach the Trevi Fountain (**), a
true masterpiece and certainly the most famous and spectacular
fountain in Rome. The last stop of our itinerary will be Piazza di
Spagna, (Spanish Steps). So original in shape, it has always been the
meeting place for travellers coming from all over the world. In the
centre of the square you will admire the Fontana della Barcaccia
made by Pietro Bernini (father of the more famous Gian Lorenzo).
This area is surely a paradise for the fashion conscious shopper
and you will find the most important and famous names of the
Italian style. After the tour you can keep walking on your own along
the nice shopping area of Via Condotti, or you can just have fun and
relax in the numerous shops and cafes in the area.

HALF DAY ANCIENT OSTIA By TRAIN TOUR (Approx. 4 hours)
Calling all enthusiasts of ancient Roman ruins! If the Roman Forum and Pompeii
were on your ‘sights to see list’ -- come see what experts are calling “The Better
Pompeii”, just a step away from the Eternal city by local train.
The beautifully preserved ruins of ‘Ostia Antica’ or Ancient Ostia were founded
in the 4th century BC and once inhabited by over 100,000 people. Ancient Ostia
is commonly referred to as “The Better Pompeii” due to the astonishing highly
preserved condition of its buildings. Structures included taverns, baths,
apartments, groceries and theatres – and their intact state so strikingly exceeds
that of the Roman Forum, Imperial Forum and Pompeii, that it seems a
misnomer to call them ‘ruins’. Here it’s easy to let your imagination fly and feel
like you’ve been transported back in time -- in this once bustling Roman harbor
town the ruins are so isolated that no modern houses, roads and telephone wires
are visible. Walk the main street, the Decumanus Maximus, while your tour
guide brings the stones around you to life. The Roman statues that line the
walkways are in such perfect condition you’ll feel as though you are walking
amongst the ancient Romans themselves! You’ll even be enticed to take a dip in
the Baths of Neptune, which are crowned by a impressively intact mosaic of the
sea god being drawn
by a four horse
chariot. And if you are a theatre fan, you shouldn’t miss
Ancient Ostia’s amphitheatre – whose structure is still so
stable that you will be able to take your place in the stands as
3,500 ancient Roman spectators once did back in 12BC when it
was first constructed. Among Ostica Antica’s many stunning
sites that we’ll visit there is also the communal forica – or
toilettes. Each apartment building has at least one for use by the
tenants – and there is one particularly striking example – where
a marble bench lined with twenty well-spaced holes lines four
walls of a large, open room. Have a seat on one of the holes –
and suddenly the more daily and human aspects of ancient
Roman life become strikingly apparent. Don’t miss the chance
to experience the “Better Pompeii” with us.
** Sneakers and socks are recommended. At the end of the tour clients will have the option to remain at Ancient Ostia,
explore the city of Ostia or even explore the nearby beach. The tour includes the train ticket back to Rome and clients can
choose to return with the guide at the conclusion of the tour or head back on their own **

ART & HISTORY – A WALK IN THE HEART OF ANCIENT ROME ELITE WALKING TOUR
(Appr. 3 hours) ** Free Sale ** - Owned and Operated by GARTOUR
If this is your first time in Rome, then you cannot miss this
superb walking tour. While the city is breathtaking on its own,
our professional guides bring an added dimension to the city,
delving deep to breathe life into a city with a history like no
other. The itinerary starts with a visit of the Roman Catholic
titular church and the minor basilica of Saint Peter in Chains,
best known for being the home of the world famous Statue of
Moses by Michelangelo.
Crossing the Imperial Avenue we will see the Trajan Column, a
Roman triumphal column which commemorates Roman emperor
Trajan’s victory in the Dacian wars. We continue to Piazza
Venezia with the imposing “Vittoriano”, a monument built to
honour Victor Emanuel, the first king of a united Italy. After
this stop we will walk
up to arrive in Piazza
del Campidoglio, another very famous sign of the Eternal City. Situated on Capitol
Hill, it has always been the privileged seat of divinity and power. Providing the
perfect overview of the Roman Forum, the whole square is a tribute to the art and
architecture of Michelangelo. He designed the lovely star-shaped pavement pattern,
the façade of the Palazzo Senatorio and the other two palaces embracing the square.
We will then walk down Via del Campidoglio to Via San Teodoro to have a view of
the Roman Forum as well as the whole complex of the Forum & Coliseum. A stop
here for an unforgettable picture is a real must. The itinerary is close to the end, but
there's still time for few more interesting points of Rome. One of these is the
beautiful Arch of Janus and then the Church of San Giorgio al Velabro where,
according to tradition, the basket with the twins Romulus and Remus was found. We
then arrive at the church of S. Maria in Cosmedin, famous throughout the world for
its portico housing the well known Bocca della Verità. It is a large stone disk
depicting the face of a faun or river god with its mouth open. According to the legend
the stone was used to judge people’s honesty. Just in front of this church we are in the
zone of the Forum Boario, the site in ancient times of the cattle and beef market.
The walking tour ends here. Afterwards you can continue the visit on your own to
Circus Maximum and the Aventino Hill, or you can just cross the Tiber River to have
a fun and relaxing walk in the Trastevere district.

JEWISH GHETTO, TIBERINA ISLAND AND TRASTEVERE DISTRICT ELITE
WALKING TOUR (Appr. 3 hours) ** Free Sale ** - Owned and Operated by GARTOUR
In this tour you will discover a different Rome. After the classic and
tourist itineraries, take a break from the crowds, escape the traffic,
and explore the backstreets of the historic center that most tourists
do not even know exists. The whole walking tour runs close to the
River Tiber that has always been a characteristic of the Roman
landscape. During the itinerary you will literally cross between
centuries and you will discover treasures from the Middle Ages and
Renaissance as well. The itinerary starts with the characteristic area
of Jewish Ghetto. Founded in 1555, it is one of the ancient Ghettos
throughout Italy and Europe. In ancient times it was completely
surrounded by a wall and housed approx. 9.000 inhabitants. The
main sign of the ghetto is without a doubt the monumental building
of the Synagogue built in 1904. Behind the Synagogue runs Via
del Portico d’Ottavia which owes its name to the ruins of the
ancient portico built on1st century B.C. Inside part of the
monument stands the church of St. Angelo in Pescheria, so called in reference to the important fish market held here from
the Middle Ages up to the end of 19th century. After the visit to the Jewish Ghetto, we will walk on the Ponte Fabricio and we
arrive shortly at Tiberina Island. We will have a fun walk along this very characteristic island which is mainly occupied by
the hospital Fatebenefratelli from the 16th century. But the island itself offers an amazing walk even without specific
monuments. The typical houses, courtyards and streets are reminiscent of its medieval origin and will surely enchant you.
After this interesting stop we will proceed into one of the most famous and ancient parts of Rome, Trastevere. This area
needs no introduction, it is famous for its restaurants and pubs and for the magic atmosphere, especially in the evening. The
Medieval origin is undoubtedly evident everywhere but few people know that it is so rich in art, so a perfect mix awaits you
for the last part of itinerary. We will officially “enter” Trastevere through Piazza in Piscinula and Via Arco dei Tolomei,
which takes its name from the medieval arch which can still be seen. Walking in Vicolo dell’Atleta we can see a pretty 13th
century construction, with a loggia and small pointed arches on stone corbel sand with an inscription in Hebrew on the
central column. It is considered the only surviving ancient Jewish
synagogue in the quarter from the Middle Age. Going back to Via dei
Genovesi we arrive in Piazza Sonnino, which has one of the most
well known medieval constructions, the Torre degli Anguillara,
better known as the “House of Dante”. For a perfect end of this
itinerary we will walk down Via della Lungaretta where we'll arrive
at the square where we find the Basilica of St. Maria in Trastevere,
one of Rome’s medieval gems. We will go inside the church and
admire its apse containing the famous mosaics with the Coronation
of the Virgin and the Stories of the Virgin. The walking tour ends
here, in the very centre of Trastevere. After the tour you can continue
a fun and relaxing walk in the district and then stop at any of the
many restaurants or pizzerias to have a typical meal.

Prestige Full Day Tour POMPEII & VESUVIUS (13 hours)
** English Only **
Join he only day trip from Rome that brings you up to the top of
Mt. Vesuvius where you can hike to the crater with a fantastic view
of the bay of Naples below. Discover Pompeii and the still active
Volcano that brought the bustling Roman city to its terrible end in
this exclusive day trip from Rome to Pompeii & Vesuvius. After a
comfortable transfer from Rome on an air-conditioned coach, we begin
our day high above the city and bay of Naples – on the ridge of the
crater of the famous Mount Vesuvius. Infamous for the destruction of
Pompeii and Herculaneum in 79AD, Vesuvius has erupted many times
since – and is today regarded as one of the most dangerous volcanoes
in the world because of the 3,000,000 people living in its immediate
vicinity and the volcano’s tendency towards explosive eruptions. Lava
flows have scarred the sides of the volcano, and are visible on the
winding road up to the top. From the parking area, it is a 20 minute upward hike to the crater through soft volcanic ash and
pumice – and the view from the top is well worth the while. After our adventurous morning we’ll take a leisurely lunch
break, where you can experience the world-famous
pizza Naples is known for. When you are ready to go
– it’s on to the highlight of the day: Pompeii. Sitting in
the ominous shadow of Vesuvius, the now ruined
city of Pompeii was a sprawling metropolis of shops
and residences, restaurants, gyms and brothels. Walk
Pompeii’s main streets just as the ancient Romans
did – the stones are still worn with tracks from the
drawn carriages that tread them nearly 2000 years ago.
We’ll visit the forum, the center of Pompeii’s political
and social life, as well as view the startling plaster
death casts of the victims of the catastrophic
eruption that destroyed the city – freezing forever in
time their last second of life. Join us on this
comprehensive and fascinating tour of Pompeii &
the powerful Volcano that destroyed it and discover
why this UNESCO World Heritage Site continues to shock and fascinate the 2.6 million people who venture here
each year. ** Minimum 2 Pax **
** The hike up to the crater of Vesuvius is optional and requires a good level of general fitness to complete. The hike is
uphill at a 14 degree angle and 20 minutes long, comfortable clothes and shoes are recommended. Due to inclement
weather sometimes the crater may be closed, in this case we will offer an extended tour inside Pompei which will recover
any time we would have spent on Vesuvius **

Prestige Tour BEST OF TUSCANY IN ONE DAY FROM ROME – INCLUDING BRUNELLO
DI MONTALCINO WINE TASTING (13 hrs) * English Only *
Take a break from the chaos of Rome with a Tuscan holiday. Our tour will focus
on the famous Val D’Orcia region, visiting the historic hill towns of
Montepulciano, Pienza and the vineyards of Montalcino. We will explore winding
streets, catch beautiful views of rolling hills from city walls, hear centuries-old
Gregorian chants, stop at a typical Tuscan farm for lunch and have plenty of time
left over for sampling world-famous foods and wine – all locally produced. If you
have a taste for Tuscany but just a short time in Italy, this tour is for you! A
comfortable air-conditioned bus collects us in Rome and by mid-morning we’re in
the ancient Etruscan town of Montepulciano. We’ll tour the town’s most important
sights from the exposed brick Duomo and the main square to Punch’s Tower.
We’ll see ancient Etruscan wells and venture deep into medieval wine cellars still
used today. We’ll have a bit of free time for photo ops before we’re back on the
bus to our next stop, the vineyards of Montalcino! Our arrival in the area of
Montalcino is perfectly timed to leave us at Sant’Antimo Abbey where stone
walls ring with the sound of Gregorian
chants, performed here in the same way as
they have been for centuries. Lose yourself
in ancient rituals after taking some time to
enjoy the view over some of Tuscany’s most beautiful vineyards. This is where
Italy’s best wine, Brunello di Montalcino, is produced and we’ll have a chance to
enjoy an exemplary bottle on the next leg of our journey and a sure highlight –
lunch. The bus will take us out of town to a typical Tuscan farm where we will be
wined and dined with the finest local produce. Devour three courses of regional
dishes that surprise and delight, washed down with local wines. Lunch is followed
by a professional guided wine tasting of the wines produced on site. Back on the bus
your guide will prepare you for our next stop – Pienza. You will hear how this World
Heritage site was conceived by Pope Pius II as a “utopian village” and get
information on sites you may want to visit, such as the two Renaissance palaces and
the beautiful Duomo. Pienza is a small town so we’ll split up here and take some
time to wander alone, enjoying the serenity that is still true to the Pope’s vision
today. Marvel at the ancient architecture, take in views of the rolling countryside
beyond or get hopelessly, wonderfully lost in the town’s winding streets. You’ll be
given a map so you’ll always be able to find yourself again. Whatever you choose to
do, be sure to make time to sample Pienza’s most important product – pecorino cheese. With full bellies and bags packed
with wine, cheese and pici pasta, we’ll meet back at the bus for a comfortable and scenic drive back to Rome. Take a welldeserved nap, watch the country fly past or spend the time planning your next visit to Tuscany – because one visit is never
enough!
