Best of Rome Walking Tour

Rome’s most famous squares, monuments, fountains and artists offer you the very best on this 3.5 hour walking tour. Let the Eternal City enchant you as you stroll through its picturesque cobblestone alleyways and discover some of the world’s most famous sites, such as the Pantheon, Piazza Navona, Trevi fountain and the Spanish Steps. Travel through time and admire all of the City centre’s must-see art and architecture, all in a single afternoon!

The tour begins in Piazza del Popolo, which traditionally marks the northern “door to Rome” with the church Santa Maria del Popolo which was often the first church visitors to Rome would see upon entering its gates. The Spanish Steps with their lively atmosphere and stunning view bring us down into the winding alleys of the heart of the historic centre – where we encounter the Trevi Fountain, which needs no introduction.

Your path continues with a stop at Piazza Colonna which contains the column erected by Marcus Aurelius and is considered by Romans as the very centre of the city. We will also stop at the Pantheon which, with its impressive concrete dome and open oculus, never fails to impress.

Nearby explore Piazza Navona, with Bernini’s famous “Fountain of the Four Rivers” triumphantly marking its centre. Next, Campo de’ Fiori gives you a taste of one of the liveliest and famous traditional Roman piazzas. After you will stop at the famous Fountain of the Turtles, Teatro Marcello, (the “Little Colosseum”) and the Capitoline hill. Finish off the tour with a grand finish and coffee stop at the Caffarelli terrace with a splendid view over the historic centre of Rome (coffee break included in the price).

Comfortable shoes are recommended.
