Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE HISTORY

Ancient Rome in Motion

Glide past the Colosseum and Roman Forum, take in the Baths of Caracalla and a panoramic view from Circus Maximus and the Palatine Hill — an efficient, outside‑only survey of Rome’s imperial past.

THE BAROQUE HEART

Fountains, Squares and the Pantheon

Visit the Trevi Fountain, Piazza Navona and the Pantheon — the tour stops in the city’s baroque core so you can absorb Bernini, monumental fountains and Rome’s best‑preserved ancient interior (note: Pantheon entry ticket not included).

THE VIEW & THE MEAL

Aventine Vistas, Vatican Approaches and Lunch

Ride up to the Aventine Hill and the Orange Garden for sweeping city views, then pause for a pre‑selected three‑course lunch before continuing to St. Peter’s Square, St. Peter’s Basilica and Castel Sant’Angelo — a blend of panoramas, cuisine and papal landmarks.
