Rome: 30 Centuries in 3 Hours

What to Expect

Rome - from Romulus and Remus
The tour will start from ancient times. The majestic Colosseum, where gladiators fought - the darlings of the city's public; the daily life of Roman forums; luxurious imperial squares built in honor of conquests of new territories - you will hear about the history of Rome starting from the 8th century BC. And then we will climb the Capitoline Hill and transport ourselves to the dark Middle Ages, when Michelangelo's genius reigned.

Renaissance and Roman Baroque
During the walk, you will encounter masterpieces of the Renaissance and the Baroque era:

• The famous Trevi Fountain - you will discover its history and hear about Princess Volkonskaya, Gogol, and Emperor Augustus;
• The Fountain of the Four Rivers in Piazza Navona - by Bernini: I will tell you about the difficulties and backstage intrigues he had to face;
• The Barcaccia Fountain on the elegant Spanish Steps, created by the hands of Bernini's father - we will talk about its past;
• The Church of St. Louis, where you will admire Caravaggio's paintings and appreciate the baroque style in a French manner.

And on Column Square - right here is where the city's government is located - we will see the intertwining of two styles: ancient Corinthian columns and baroque elements!

The Tasty Side of Rome
Strolling along the beautiful Via Condotti, we will visit an ancient Roman coffee shop, where you can try the amazingly delicate cappuccino. The tour will end at Campo dei Fiori Square: here, freethinkers from all over the city gather, and in the morning, the famous food market operates - I suggest tasting local products and discussing Italian cuisine.
