Half-Day Private Rome Tour: The Great Beauty

Following a pickup from your hotel, learn the legends of Janiculum Hill, and marvel at the courtyard of the Church of San Pietro in Montorio, considered a masterpiece of High Renaissance architecture. Be enchanted by the impressive Fontana dell'Acqua Paola, called Er Fontanone by the Romans.

Next, walk along the River Tiber to Piazza Navona. Built on the site of the Stadium of Domitian, the oval-shaped “square” is a feast of Baroque and Renaissance art, including Bernini’s famous Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi (Fountain of 4 Rivers). Nearby, lies the Palazzo Altemps and Palazzo Braschi.

Continue to the Trevi Fountain, featured in the Federico Fellini film “La Dolce Vita.” Throw a coin in the fountain, before driving on to the Colosseum and Circo Massimo. From there, it’s a short journey to the Villa del Priorato di Malta on Aventine Hill, where you can admire St. Peter's Basilica through the keyhole of the Villa Malta.
