Rome in Tours

After having landed at the main roman airports, as you have just left your baggages at the hotel, you start realizing you're experiencing the eternal city, with its food smells, its narrow flowering picturesque alleys, and the friendliness and warmth of the people, when your expectations grow and you can feel the enthusiasm, before getting lost in the city winding roads, take this tour with us and wander around with an expert covering the main highlights of the city center!

The tour starts at the Spanish Steps, today the most mundane location and close to one of the main shopping districts for locals and tourists, once an architectural project meant to connect the church of Trinità dei Monti, on top of the steps, with the Bourbon Spanish embassy (from which the square takes its name). On its right hand side, the house of John Keats, the romantic poet of England dying in Rome in 1821.

Taking the meander alley left of the square, all of a sudden, the majesty of the Trevi fountain will be shown to you, the largest late Baroque fountain in the city and one of the most famous fountains in the world. Supplied by one of the 12 ancient roman aqueducts still working after more than 2000 years, it was the location of many movies the most famous of which “La dolce vita” by Federico Fellini.

Still delighted by the view of this jam, the second most representative roman monument, the Pantheon, a temple dedicated to all the Roman Gods, will be shown to you. Built in 19 BC by the right-hand man of Augustus, it has the biggest unreinforced concrete dome of the world and a hole on top working as a bull's eye to illuminate the statues of Gods inside.

The itinerary also includes Piazza Navona, a Baroque square built in 1651 on a pre-existent roman stadium. The square is famous for the fountain of the four rivers in the center surmounted by one of the thirteen obelisks of Rome. A masterpiece by Bernini wanted by the Pope Innocentius X and showing the personification of the four longest rivers of the world symbolizing the power of the Church over 4 continents. Recently one of the locations of the movie Angel's and Demons based on the book by Dan Brown.

Last but not least, we promised this was going to be a proper introduction to the city, well we'll introduce you to the artisanal italian gelato on a place where the 2 basic rules of the handmade gelato are fully respected: each flavor having its own box preserving a required specific freezing temperature you can read on a display on the wall and every flavor covered by a lid to preserve the taste.
