Stop At: Piazza Venezia, 00187 Rome Italy

Officially known as the Monumento Nazionale a Vittorio Emanuele II, the enormous white marble monument that dominates Piazza Venezia was built as a tribute to the first king of a united Italy, Victor Emmanuel II.

The Victor Emmanuel Monument is not exactly known as one of Rome's most beautiful structures. It is considered too monumental and the bright white color does not fit well into the ochre color of its surroundings. The monument has been given nicknames such as 'typewriter' and 'wedding cake'.

The monument is nevertheless well worth the visit, even if only for the great views from the top. The top of the monument is also connected to the Capitoline Square, saving you another climb of the Capitoline Hill.

Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Pantheon, Piazza della Rotonda, 00186 Rome Italy

Built more than 1800 years ago, the magnificent Pantheon still stands as a reminder of the great Roman Empire. The name Pantheon refers to the building's original function as a temple for all the gods.

At the top of the dome is a large opening, the oculus, which was the only source of light. The front portico has three rows of columns; the first row has eight columns while the other two have four each. A huge bronze door gives access to the cylindrical building. Its diameter equals the interior height of 43.3 meters.

Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Spanish Steps, Piazza di Spagna, 00187 Rome Italy

The Piazza di Spagna is one of the most popular meeting places in Rome. It is also one of the most visually pleasing squares. The combination of a monumental staircase (the famous Spanish Steps), an obelisk and a beautiful church is a draw for tourists and photographers.

At the foot of the Spanish Steps lies the Piazza di Spagna (Spanish Square). The long, triangular square is named after the Spanish Embassy to the Holy See. In the seventeenth century, the area around the embassy was even considered Spanish territory.

Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Piazza San Pietro, 00120 Vatican City Italy

Saint Peter's Basilica, the world's largest church, is the center of Christianity. The imposing structure was built over a span of more than one hundred years by the greatest Italian architects of the era.

Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes

Stop At: Piazza Navona, 00186 Rome Italy

Piazza Navona is one of the most famous and arguably the most beautiful of Rome's many squares. The large and lively square features no less than three magnificent fountains. Another eyecatcher is the Baroque church of Sant'Agnese in Agone.

The square is built on the former Stadium of Domitian, built by Emperor Domitian in 86 AD. Hence the long, oval shape of the square. The stadium, which had a larger arena than the Colosseum was mainly used for festivals and sporting events.

The stadium was known as 'Circus Agonalis' (competition arena). It is believed that over time the name changed to 'in agone' to 'navone' and eventually to 'navona'.


Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Colosseum, Piazza del Colosseo, 00184 Rome Italy

The Colosseum is probably the most impressive building of the Roman Empire. Originally known as the Flavian Amphitheater, it was the largest building of the era.

The monumental structure has fallen into ruin, but even today it is an imposing and beautiful sight.

The Flavian Amphitheater

Emperor Vespasian, founder of the Flavian Dynasty, started construction of the Colosseum in 72 AD. It was completed in 80 AD, the year after Vespasian's death.

The huge amphitheater was built on the site of an artificial lake, part of Nero's huge park in the center of Rome which also included the Golden House (Domus Aurea) and the nearby Colossus statue. This giant statue of Nero gave the building its current name.

Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes

Stop At: Roman Forum, Piazza Santa Maria Nova, 53, 00186 Rome Italy

he Forum Romanum was the center of life in Imperial Rome, evidenced by the many remains of triumphal arches, temples and basilicas.

Until 509 BC, when Rome became a republic, the city was reigned by an Etruscan dynasty of Tarquin Kings. They built a sewer, the 'Cloaca Maxima', to drain water from the marshlands of the valley between the Palatine, Capitoline and Esquiline hills to the Tiber river.

When we got off the boat, we had to take the shuttle to the meeting place and we met a lovely young woman with a sign with our name. She took us to our driver - Michael. He was great. He asked what we wanted to do and if we wanted to see the vatican. Since we said yes, and it was a Wednesday, he called to see if it was open in the morning. Since it was, we went there first. This was our only snafu. I had written in advance to see if I should get advanced tickets to anything but the response was that they would help us with any tickets we needed. I would recommend getting tickets in advance for what you want to do - although make sure your group is large enough that you won't be grouped with another group - otherwise that won't work well. I wish there was better communication around logistics. They recommended a tour guide so we could miss the line. Great suggestion - we thought. We met the tour guide at 10. She gave us an overview, then 2 more small groups joined and we listened to the overview again. We bought tickets, and about 10 more people joined the group. By the time we actually headed into the vatican, it was 11:15. For one hour and 15 minutes,we could have stood in line, paid less and seen it on our own. We ended up leaving the group and going on our own anyway because it was taking way too long. That was our only disappointment. On the way back to the meeting point, we did get separated because it was too long of a walk for my mom. However, Michael helped us connect and we diverted a disaster there, and Michael was great. We then headed to lunch which was spectacular. Michael suggested a great restaurant with amazing food. Then, we headed to some highlights. The only thing we didn't get to do was go into the coliseum which my boys really wanted to do, but we spent so much time at the vatican we ran out of time. We did see the trevi fountain, ruins, and a lot more stops that were fabulous. I would recommend.

We had a driver and a guide. The driver got us everywhere that we wanted to go, a lot of places for just one day. Our guide was not very informative. He showed us the entrances and came to meet us at the exits but he did not seem very knowledgable about the sights.

This was the best tour I have every taken through Viator and cannot recommend it more highly! The guide catered the tour to fit our needs taking us to the catacombs, all the main tourist points in Rome, and several sites he recommended that were off the beaten path. I saw more in one day on this tour than I saw in five days the first time I visited Rome. I would highly suggest booking this tour if you only have a short time to visit Rome and want to see some amazing sites!

We, unfortunately, did not make this tour because our tour guide left without us when our ship's shuttle was 15 minutes late.

We were met promptly and Simon maneuvered the city streets beautifully so we could see as much as possible in a single day. He dropped us at great locations and gave us a time schedule and directions to meet. It was all very efficient
