Three nights in Rome introduce you to the highlights of the Eternal City that are reflected in the layers of history that fill with bustling contemporary life. Private tours take you around the lavish adornments of public piazzas that display the likes of the Trevi Fountain and water features that were designed by Bernini. The ancient culture of the Roman Empire comes to life inside of the Colosseum and along the remains of the Roman Forum. The mixture of elegance and opulence of St. Peter’s Basilica will introduce you to the dramatic history of the Catholic Church, leading into the prestigious galleries that host Egyptian artifacts as well as masterful artwork by artists like Raphael and Michelangelo.
