What to expect
You'll start at the Vatican Museums with your guide navigating the galleries and Sistine Chapel, then move to St. Peter's Basilica. After Vatican sites, you'll drive to Rome's other classical landmarks—Trevi Fountain for photos, the Pantheon for interior exploration, Circus Maximus for views, and the Colosseum for its arena floor. There's no lunch included, so plan eating time between stops. You'll spend most of the day either walking through museums or standing at major sites; comfortable shoes are essential. The pace is brisk given the amount covered.
Good to know

St. Peter's Basilica entry cannot be guaranteed due to ticketing constraints. Lunch is not included.
