Private vehicle availability during the agreed half-day visits on days 2 to 5, with waiting time and pedestrian sections explained; not an all-day driver every day.

The hotel and room shown belong to that proposed style; further changes beyond it are quoted separately. A private guide does not mean private access to a venue.

These are indicative budgets, not confirmed offers or guaranteed availability. Dates, season, room choice and experiences affect the final total. International flights and meals excluded unless specified.

What we confirm before you book

These are proposed configurations, not confirmed bookings. Your written proposal names the hotels, room categories, guides, admissions and transport, with the complete price and cancellation conditions for your dates. A private guide does not mean private access to a venue. Requests depend on availability; no special entrance, room feature or restaurant table is guaranteed.

Hotel categories describe the selection we would propose, not a confirmed property. Room size, bed setup, views, air conditioning, lifts, step-free access, breakfast, taxes and facilities are checked for the actual hotel and room.

Optional enhancements are outside the configuration shown until selected and priced in your proposal. International flights, ordinary restaurant meals, drinks and table deposits are separate unless expressly itemized. A tasting or class includes only the food and drinks listed in the proposal.

Your days, at your pace

Illustrative days, not fixed dates. Opening days, transfers and your preferences will shape the final order.

  1. Rome
  2. Colosseum area
  3. Pantheon area
  4. Vatican City
  5. Trastevere

Day 1: Arrive and settle into Rome

Rome

A proposed arrival transfer brings you to one Rome base for the stay. Begin with a short orientation walk near the hotel and an easy dinner. Your flight and hotel arrangements will determine how much to plan.

  • Proposed arrival transfer
  • Neighborhood and dinner planning

Time for yourself: Keep the afternoon for rest after the journey and make the first walk optional.

Day 2: One morning in ancient Rome

Rome

Propose a focused Colosseum visit, with any Forum component, walking demands and guide format agreed before booking. Lunch stays in the area. Specific entry areas and times depend on the tickets actually confirmed.

  • Proposed ancient Rome guided visit with admissions to be specified
  • Nearby lunch selection

Time for yourself: Return to the hotel after lunch; the afternoon is kept clear following the outdoor walking.

Day 3: The Pantheon neighborhood

Rome

Explore the Pantheon and Piazza Navona area with a cafe pause and lunch along the route. A Pantheon interior visit is proposed subject to admission confirmation. Keep the rest of the walk short enough to enjoy the smaller streets.

  • Proposed private guided historic-center walk
  • Proposed Pantheon admission and restaurant planning

Time for yourself: Browse at your own pace or take a hotel break before dinner.

Day 4: A focused Vatican visit

Rome

Make the Vatican Museums the day's principal proposed visit, with guide, admission and route to be confirmed. We will discuss standing time and indoor walking before selecting the format. A separate basilica visit is not automatically included.

  • Proposed private guided Vatican Museums visit, with transfers as agreed in the quote
  • Lunch suggestions in the area

Time for yourself: Leave the afternoon free for recovery at the hotel and an unhurried evening.

Day 5: Trastevere and an easy final evening

Rome

Explore Trastevere with a proposed neighborhood guide and a relaxed lunch. The route can be shortened around your comfort. Return to your base with enough time to rest before a farewell restaurant selected with you.

  • Proposed private guided Trastevere neighborhood walk
  • Farewell dinner selection and reservation request

Time for yourself: Keep the later afternoon free for the hotel, packing or a final cafe stop.

Day 6: Onward from Rome

Rome

Plan the proposed station or airport transfer around confirmed departure details. Any onward Italian destination is priced as an extension with its own nights and transport.

  • Proposed departure transfer
  • Onward-travel planning

Time for yourself: Enjoy breakfast without a scheduled attraction before departure.

Make it yours

Finding your hotel
