We welcome you onboard our “GRAND TOURâ€, our Tour Manager will meet you at the exit after immigration. On arrival, we proceed to the eternal city of Rome. Please note the tour begins at 1500 hrs. from Rome Fumicino Airport. Rome has a history over two and a half thousand years, as one of the founding cities of Western Civilization and has been a site of major historic events and has also been the cultural centre of Europe. The result of 3000 years of ad hoc urban development, Rome's cityscape is an exhilarating spectacle. Ancient icons such as the Colosseum, Roman Forum and Pantheon recall the city’s golden age as caput mundi (capital of the world), while its many monumental basilicas testify to its historical role as seat of the Catholic Church. Lording it over the skyline, St Peter’s Basilica is the Vatican’s epic showpiece church, a towering masterpiece of Renaissance architecture. Elsewhere, ornate piazzas and showy fountains add a baroque flourish to the city's captivating streets. We begin the guided city tour of Rome which includes sights such as Colosseum, Arc of Constantine, Roman Forum and Caesar's Forum.
