This tour has been designed for those guests who wish to enjoy a complete overview of Rome. Begin your day with a 90-minute drive to Vatican City, the smallest state in the world. St. Peter's Basilica took well over 100 years to build and is the largest church in the world, resting on 800 pillars and littered with 44 altars. Visit the Vatican Museum and the 15th century Sistine Chapel and view paintings by great masters. Dominating the chapel is Michelangelo's ceiling painting of the "Creation of the World." Leaving the Vatican City, lunch is served in a fine restaurant and includes wine.
After lunch, visit the famous Trevi Fountain. A short time is allocated at leisure for photographs. Rejoin the coach for an impressive drive through Rome. Places of interest seen may include Borghese Park, the Janiculum Hill, Castle Sant'Angelo and Circus Maximus. Pass the huge monument to Victor Emmanuel, Capitol Hill, and the Roman Forum with the rostrum where Mark Anthony made his impassioned speech over the body of Julius Caesar. View the exterior of the historic Colosseum, acknowledged as one of the world's most celebrated buildings.
Note: The tour is conducted by coach. No interior visit to the Colosseum is made during this tour. Guests must be able to walk approximately 3 miles over even and cobblestone surfaces with approximately 45 steps along with extended periods of standing. A strict dress code is enforced in the Vatican Museum (Sistine Chapel) and St. Peter's Basilica. Short pants, tank tops and revealing clothing are not acceptable. Guests may be required to check large bags, backpacks, video cameras and/or personal water bottles at designated check points. Flash photos are not permitted in the Vatican Museum. Video and photography are not permitted at any time in the Sistine Chapel. The itinerary may be altered to accommodate local conditions. This tour cannot accommodate children under the age of 6 years. Should a mass be taking place in St. Peter's Basilica, your entrance may be restricted. Should your guide determine that the queue at the St. Peter's Basilica security check point is longer than a 45-minute wait, they will forego the interior visit of the Basilica and provide you with a full explanation and description while outside. Depending upon the number of people in the Basilica, it may be closed for security reasons. These safety precautions are beyond the control of the local tour operator or Royal Caribbean International. |
