Discover Rome's Layers: A 3-Day Walking Tour

You already know that Rome is fascinating. After all, that’s why you’re going to the Eternal City for the first time or making a return trip. But perhaps you’ve been wondering how to get below Rome’s tourist facade while still visiting its monumental works of art and architecture.

This tour includes: The Colosseum Under Basilica San Clemente Via Fori Imperiali Piazza Navona Frescoes by Filippino Lippi The Vatican Museums A climb to St. Peter’s Cupola A detailed breakdown of what to order at Roman restaurants Lots of restaurant suggestions listed throughout the tour and in the Appendix Plus much more, like parks, canvases, churches and fountains… And here is a sample (Please note that the itinerary has maps and photos that are not included below) : Lunch Time!
