What to expect
After boarding at Venezia Santa Lucia station, you'll travel four hours to Roma Termini where your guide collects you. The walking tour covers Rome's most-visited monuments at an accessible pace, visiting the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, and St Peter's Square. Your guide provides historical context and practical advice on where locals eat and shop. You'll navigate Rome's compact historic centre on foot, so expect moderate walking over several hours. The tour wraps with enough time to catch your return train in the evening.
Good to know
Wear proper walking shoes—Rome's streets are uneven. Train tickets are purchased forty-eight hours ahead; cancellations within that window incur full ticket costs. You'll receive confirmation email with tickets and itinerary the day before. Food, drinks and station pickups are not included. Second-class rail transport only.
