Tour details.
You will be met at the airport and welcomed to Italy, by your chauffeur.
He will take care of your baggage , see you seated comfortably in the airconditioned
vehicle of your choice and drive you to the city centre, giving you a
commentary as you pass important sites.
The panoramic drive by consists of a drive to the Vatican, a quick stop to admire
Saint Peter's Square, drive along the Tiber , see The Castle of Angels
(originally the tomb of the Emperor Hadrian), The Bridge of Angles
and The Palace of Justice. Pass below The Capitoline Hill, the smallest
and most important of the seven hills of Rome,
with the splendid staircase ascending the hill , designed by Michel angelo.
Around the bend, exploding before your gaze , you will find
The Monument dedicated to Victor Emanuelle II , the first king of Italy,
after it's unification.
Driving along the Via dei Fori Imperiale with the ancient Roman Forum
on the right and the forum of the Emperor Trajan on the left, you will come to
The Colosseum…. ' a noble wreck in ruinous perfection'.
Built between 72 ad and 80ad it was destroyed by Barbarians and two major earthquakes.
From this point you will see The Triumphal Arc of The Emperor Constantine
and The Palatine Hill. The drive continues to the Circus Maximus, and down past the
Pagan temples of Hercules and Portus, past the Theatre of Marcellus and
on to The Spanish Steps. After this get ready to stretch those legs!!!
Throw a coin in the
Trevi Fountain, marvel at the dimensions of The Pantheon and finally stop
for a snack at a café in Piazza Navona in view of the fountain of The Four Rivers,
designed by Bernini.
Fascinated by a journey through the portals of time,
replete with a pizza, perhaps a gelato !
And a trifle tired…it's time to say Arriverdeci Roma and drive to your ship.
