Rome, Vatican City and all its treasures

Our “Design Your Own Rome tours” includes Private Walking Tours, Professional Guided Tours, Group City Tours, and Private Tours of the Vatican.

At Ciao Tours we take pride in providing our clients with University educated guides for our Rome tours. Whether you are traveling on your own, in an intimate group of 16, or as a large group, our guides will help you understand the glory that is Rome. Our commitment to providing highly memorable experiences has fueled our success since 1998, and this passion lives today!

Rome’s history is legendary and can sometimes be overwhelming. There is a lot to take in when one visits this former empire and now bustling, modern Metropolis. At Ciao Tours we make sure that you are able to visit the highlights of Rome’s history and culture including:

The Roman Coliseum - The Arena where Gladiators fought in front of 60,000 Roman citizens.

The Pantheon - Built as a Temple for all the Roman Gods, this building is an architectural masterpiece that Michelangelo once called “the work of Angels, not men”.

Vatican City – 18 museums, the Sistine Chapel, St. Peter’s Basilica. There is an amazing array of artwork to dazzle you, as well as being the heart of the Catholic faith.

The Spanish Steps in the Piazza di Spagna - The famous Spanish steps in the heart of the Roman shopping district, with the gorgeous fountain of the Barcaccia at its foot. Make a wish and walk to the Via del Condotti (a shopping magnet) just opposite.

The Roman Forum - Walk the cobble-stoned road where Caesar and his armies marched. It is considered the modern heart of cultural, economic, and political Rome.

Our highly experienced tour designers will personalize your trip so all you have to do is take everything in. Private tours are what we do best!
