What to expect
Expect a steady three-hour walking pace across uneven cobblestones and granite piazzas. Your guide will stop frequently to discuss architectural details, historical context, and the sculptural work adorning fountains and temples. You'll be in crowds at famous spots, but the guide steers you to quieter vantage points and side streets where you can actually stand still. The Pantheon entry is included; other sites are viewed from outside or via their exterior decoration. Bring water and wear trainers with proper grip.
