Short Description

Rome is one of Italy's most incredible treasures. There is history lining every cobble stoned road, elegance in every piazza and cafes throughout the city serving the the richest cappuccinos! You can explore the ruins of an ancient civilization one day, then bask in the beauty of some of the world's most iconic art the next.

While traveling in Rome, you will be in the heart of some of the world’s most prized monuments. Imagine a gladiator fight at the Colosseum, toss a coin into the Trevi Fountain, and explore the well-preserved Pantheon.

Itinerary

Day 1 Welcome to Rome!

The Aeroporto Leonardo da Vinci di Fiumicino (FCO) is about 30 minutes from Rome’s city center. You will enjoy round-trip airport transfers, making your arrival and departure stress-free.

Enjoy the remainder of the day at your leisure. Consider taking a stroll to the Trevi Fountain to see it illuminated come nightfall; throw a coin in and make a wish - legend has it that if your wish comes true, you will return to Rome one day.  

Day 2 Rome

There is something to see and do around every corner in Rome. Take the metro over to the Colosseum where you can spend hours exploring this ancient architectural wonder. You will feel the immense emotion of the ruins where warriors fought to the death as the crowds cheered from the stands that are still intact today.

Next door, visit the ancient government buildings at the Roman Forum. You'll then want to head over to the Pantheon, where you can see one of the most influential and well-preserved monuments of its time.

Day 3 Rome

Pay a visit to the sites at Vatican City today! Explore the breathtaking St. Peter's Basilica, the world's largest Christian basilica.

Treat yourself to a visit at the Vatican Museums, where you'll be surrounded by masterpieces of some of the greats, from Da Vinci to Giotto. Don't forget to stop by the show-stopper: the iconic Sistine Chapel ceiling, painted by Michelangelo.  

Day 4 Rome

Today is your final full day in Rome! Consider exploring the Roman-Jewish Quarter today, home to the oldest Jewish community in Europe. Notice the distinct architecture and eateries here; pay a visit to the Teatro Marcello, which was commissioned by Julius Ceaser, but completed by Augustus in 13 BC, and is still in use today. 

End your trip on a sweet note by treating yourself to a cone of decadent gelato, the perfect way to mark your last night in Italy!

Day 5 Depart Rome

Depart Italy today and head back to America. Your included private transfer will bring you from your hotel to the airport.

Because of unexpected situations, I need to cancel reservations not postpone. We had to go forth with the trip but had to leave earlier than first planned.

Hotel in Santorini was nowhere near anything and breakfast was terrible. Other people with GV had great locations. I guess we good the short end of the stick . We arrived very late in Crete and ended up only having one full day there. Would have better to have a hotel near the airport for our last night.

The ability to stay at different B&B each night as we travel across Ireland and Scotland was wonderful. Now staying and traveling in Scotland can cost over the initial sale price due to most accommodation cost more than the allowance provided and the rental car insurance cannot be purchased in advance. Car insurance and a hold on you credit card will cost several hundred dollars on the spot at Enterprise Car Rental. The Vacation was a success but with vehicle upgrade, B&Bs that were available, car insurance, and hold on credit card all was $2000 extra. It was a great experience and i would do it again.
