Four days is all it takes to fall in love with Rome. No queuing â we book Colosseum and Vatican Museums tickets in advance, and a licensed guide brings the sights to life, talking about emperors as if they were old friends.
You'll see the Colosseum, the Roman Forum and the Palatine, the Pantheon, Piazza Navona and the Trevi Fountain. Vatican day covers the Vatican Museums, the Sistine Chapel and St Peter's Basilica with the tomb of St John Paul II. On Sunday at noon, when the Pope is in Rome, you can join the Angelus prayer in St Peter's Square.
And in the evenings â Rome through its kitchen: cacio e pepe in Trastevere, supplĂŹ, carbonara and a farewell gelato.
Transfer to your hotel in Monti, a short walk from the Colosseum. Evening stroll in Trastevere and a welcome dinner at a family-run trattoria.
The Colosseum, Roman Forum and Palatine with a guide, then pizza al taglio for lunch. In the afternoon, the Pantheon, Piazza Navona and a coin in the Trevi Fountain.
The Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel, then St Peter's Basilica and the tomb of St John Paul II. Tasting dinner in Testaccio in the evening.
Free morning or the Angelus prayer in St Peter's Square, then transfer to the airport.

âA well-paced tour, and the skip-the-line tickets genuinely saved us hours. Be warned â you'll walk a lot, about 15,000 steps a day. The Testaccio dinner was the best meal of our trip.â
âA moving moment at the tomb of St John Paul II, and the Sistine Chapel without hours of queuing. Our guide Giulia spoke excellent Polish. For us, the perfect long weekend.â
You'll see all the major sights â the programme is designed so you don't waste time on queues and transport. If you'd like to stay longer, we can add a night or a trip to Assisi or Tivoli.
Yes â flights aren't included, so you can fly from KrakĂłw, Katowice, GdaĆsk or WrocĆaw. Your transfer meets you at Fiumicino, and we'll arrange a separate one if you land at Ciampino.
