Following lunch at a charming local restaurant, take a guided sightseeing tour to view many of the iconic sights of the Eternal City, including the Roman Forum, plus a visit to the Colosseum.

An afternoon as you please in Rome is followed by a return to Vatican City, when the crowds are gone, for an after-hours guided tour of the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel – without the crowds, you’ll have an amazing view of the unparalleled collections of archaeological treasures, relics, paintings, sculptures, and tapestries (subject to availability and day of the tour may vary).
