About this experience
This is the perfect walk for those who are willing to sacrifice a few hours of sleep so that your first impressions of Rome are not the scorching heat and crowds of tourists. We will start the day with delicious coffee and fresh pastries, then stroll past the Colosseum and Pantheon, climb the Spanish Steps, see the Trevi Fountain, Piazza Navona, and other iconic sights of Rome that will reveal the full depth of their splendor early in the morning.
What to Expect
Ancient Rome Stories
At dawn, we will meet on the Capitoline Hill, at the foot of which the history of modern Europe began. Here you will enjoy a breathtaking view of the sleeping Roman forums and the Colosseum before the busy workday, while I will tell you what they were like in their heyday. Then we have a meeting with the Pantheon - one of the oldest functioning temples in the world, the mysterious history of which continues to intrigue even the locals.
The Famous Fountain
Next, we will head to the legendary Trevi Fountain, which has been impressing visitors for many years not only with its unrestrained beauty and monumentality, but also with the number of tourists desperately trying to take selfies without the crowds in the background. But this morning, you can be alone with the Baroque masterpiece and take truly beautiful photos!
Morning Coffee on the Spanish Steps
You will relax on the steps of the famous Spanish Steps, which at this hour are not yet occupied by weary travelers and merchants from all over the world. We will climb to the top to admire the panorama of the barely awakened city. And then we can stop for morning coffee, as one of the most original and secret bars in my collection is located near the Spanish Steps square.
Works of Bernini and Borromini
We will visit Piazza Navona, the first beauty of the historic center, where Roman street musicians will gather in a few hours. Here you will learn about the sports fans of antiquity, see the fountain by the king of Roman sculpture Bernini, and recall scenes from famous movies that unfold right here.
The Ancient Street of Coronari
After that, we will walk along the famous antique shops street of Via dei Coronari, which will lead us to the great and terrible Castel Sant'Angelo on the Tiber River embankment. Here I will show you a few atmospheric streets where you can pleasantly get lost and finally treat yourself to a lunch of delicious homemade pasta and a glass of cool wine.

6 hours of the tour flew by unnoticed. Anna is such an interesting storyteller that we were ready to continue the tour, and there was almost no fatigue. Anna also recommended several places to visit and was always in touch. I don't know what kind of guide should be for us to write a more enthusiasti...

Good day! We chose a morning walk with Anna around Rome, which was supposed to start at 5 am. We are very experienced travelers and know very well how the same city looks in the 'off-season' and 'with crowds of tourists'...) The morning tour with Anna gives a wonderful opportunity to be in the atmos...
