With this Rome Half Day tour we want to give you an overview of the principal sites in the ancient city. Your English speaking driver will meet you at your accommodation (or indicated pick up address) and will take you to the Circus Maximus, an ancient chariot track dated back to 6 cent BC, this way you have also a spectacular view of the Palatine Hill and remaining of the emperor places, not to mention where the origin of Rome comes from starting with the tale of the twins and the she- wolf to its first king Romulus. Continuing from here to the celebrated Piazza Venezia, situated at the base of the Capitoline Hill which meets one of the most important road of the ancient capital, Fori Imperiali, today dividing what was the Roman forum. Following this road, will be able to finally admire The Coliseum, originally known as the Flavian Amphitheatre, one of the most famous ancient architecture in the world. It had a capacity to sit about 50,000 spectators that would marvel at the gladiator competitions. Once done visiting the Coliseum, your driver will taake you to the Ancient Roman Temple of Pantheon, (today a church) which was dedicated to the main 12 gods in the ancient mythology, close by you have time to visit Piazza Navona one of the famous squares in the city. It was used as an ancient Roman stadium, a colossal structure in travertine with the capacity of 30.000 spectators every game, while today you will admire the Fountain of the Four Rivers designed by Bernini. The next stop will be at the magical Trevi Fountain, the legend and the beauty of this fountain brings thousands together daily to admire and throw a coin inside for good luck.. Your intro tour will finish by the Spanish Steps for you to admire and climb (if you wish) the amazing staircase that consists of 135 steps that was built to connect the Spanish Embassy (hence the name) to the Church of the SS. Trinita’dei Monti. Here you can take your free time between most elegant and exclusive shops and boutique or head back to your accommodation.

Good Day,
My wife, Nancy & I will arrive in Rome at 9:30 a.m., from Texas, USA, Saturday August 11, 2012. We would like and English speaking 1/2 day tour of major landmarks, including Vatican, if possible. We will be leaving on Royal Caribbean Western Mediterranean Cruse on the Navigator of the Seas, which leaves at 5:00 p.m. for our 25th Wedding Anniversary. We would need time to get our bags at the airport and arrive in enough time to check in before sailing. This seems from advertising possible on 1/2 day tour, 2 adults in sedan by ourselves for $200 euros. Will you accept credit card or do we need euros? You have come highly recommended and it looks like you have plenty of experience. Looking forward to your response.
Sincerely,
Kenelm & Nancy Winslow
