Your private guide meets you at Piazza Trilussa, the lively gateway to Trastevere just across the Tiber. From the start, the vibe is unmistakably Roman—authentic, warm, and slightly bohemian.
You begin by walking along Via della Lungaretta, past cafés, artisan boutiques, and ivy-draped façades. Your guide shares stories of the neighborhood’s ancient roots and working-class origins, pointing out hidden shrines, medieval towers, and centuries-old bakeries.
You stop at the stunning Basilica of Santa Maria in Trastevere, one of Rome’s oldest churches. Inside, golden mosaics glimmer above quiet pews. Your guide explains their symbolism and the church’s role in early Christianity.
Winding deeper into Trastevere’s cobbled alleys, you discover secluded courtyards, vine-covered walls, and local legends—perhaps even a hidden Roman cistern or a medieval laundry fountain. You might sample a supplì (fried rice ball) from a local spot or visit an artisan workshop.
After some free time your private driver will pick you up and take you to San Callisto Catacombs, located in the Ancient Appia Roman road, for a small group tour of the site.
Today meet your private guide and driver, setting out on a half-day cultural journey to the center of Christianity; the Vatican.
Across the river lies the sovereign state of the Vatican City, the home of the Catholic Church and the residence of the Pope. Perhaps no Italy guided tours are complete without a private guided tour of this spiritual sanctuary.
Skip the line with your private guide and learn how spiritual authority turned into secular power while exploring the enthralling Vatican Museums and gaze upon the remarkable works that lie within them. From the incredible, hallowed ceiling of the Sistine Chapel to the renowned Renaissance stylings of Saint Peter’s Basilica, the Vatican City is an ode to Catholicism. This is sure to be a divine encounter!

Backed by dramatic cliffs, and home to an 11th century cathedral, you'll likely also spot some of the area's renowned lemons grown on the terraced gardens here.
A private driver will meet you at your hotel after breakfast to take you to the legendary site of Pompeii, where a private local guide will lead you on a 2-hour visit of the historic remains.
Nearly 2,000 years ago, Pompeii was completely destroyed in the catastrophic 79 A.D. eruption of Mount Vesuvius, leaving the ancient Roman city buried under 15 to 20 feet of volcanic ash, and preserved therein. Modern archaeologists have since uncovered the remains of the former city, leaving an incredibly vast, and somewhat somber site to explore.
Walk through some of the ancient streets of Pompeii where you can see the baths, forums and villas built by the prosperous Romans over 150 years before the eruption. Marvel at the fabulously preserved fresco paintings which adorn the walls and floors of the villas. See the ancient amphitheaters, gladiator barracks, and houses of former Pompeii residents, before continuing to a well earned lunch at a local winery.
