The tour starts at St. Peter's Basilica, which is the largest church in the world. Admire Michelangelo's "Pieta" and the beautiful Bernini Pulpit, then continue to the sites of Renaissance and Baroque Rome: the stunning Spanish steps, Piazza Navona and of course not forgetting the city's most famous fountain - the Trevi Fountain. According to the legend; by throwing a coin into the fountain it will ensure that you return to Rome.

Next the heart of Ancient Rome; Capitoline Hill and the famous Roman Forum and the Colosseum, the symbol of the city and one of the world's most famous buildings where gladiator spectacles took place. Then continue on to see Palatine Hill and Circus Maximus.
