Itinerary
While debarking take a shuttle bus for terminal Largo della Pace, you can find the Box n.7, City Sightseeing Box in front of shuttle bus arrival point, look for our staff wearing green t-shirt. Please arrive at the meeting point 20 minutes before departure.
Enjoy a short break and gather your bearings before embarking on a walking tour through Rome’s iconic sights.
Your tour leader will lead you to St. Peter’s Basilica, the largest of the four Papal Basilicas, where you can marvel at its awe-inspiring architecture and the surrounding beauty of St. Peter’s Square
As you continue along Via della Conciliazione, you’ll arrive at Castel Sant’Angelo, an ancient fortress originally built by Emperor Hadrian. This imposing structure has served as the Pope’s safe haven during times of danger, accessible through the secret “Passetto” corridor that connects it to the Vatican.
Next, you’ll enjoy a scenic walk along the Tiber River with breathtaking views, including the famous St. Peter’s Dome in the background. The tour continues with a visit to the Palace of Justice (also known as the “Palazzaccio”), an impressive neoclassical building that dominates the cityscape.
Afterward, sit back and relax as you board the coach for the second part of your journey. Along the way, pass the historic Circus Maximus, once home to thrilling chariot races, before arriving at the world-renowned Colosseum.
One of the Seven Wonders of the World, the Colosseum is a symbol of ancient Roman engineering and power. Built under Emperor Vespasian, it hosted gladiator contests, animal hunts, and even naval battles. Your tour leader will bring the history of this incredible monument to life, giving you a deeper understanding of its significance.

1Lousy tour, zero customer service.
Told they would pick us up as soon as we stepped off the boat. WRONG...took us 30 min to discover we had to find our way into some bus station in town. We almost missed our bus. In Rome, our guide took us so far away from town to a place she suggested for lunch (mediocre) we only had time to see the Forum.....NOTHING ELSE!!!! Perhaps our only trip to Rome and it was pathetic. I've tried and tried to get Shore-Experience to respond to my concerns and NOTHING. Don't chance this company ruining your special day.
1very disappointing
On your web site you stated it was an escorted tour. All it was was transportation to Rome by bus and then they put you on a on off bus. Very disappointing/. I would like my money back
5Wonderful tour guide
Manu was great and took good care of us. He was considerate and made sure we were comfortable. He was knowledgeable and proud of his city. Our family had a great time. Brian
5Rome on a budget
I wanted to tour Rome, but had to remain within my budget. I traveled solo on this tour without any problems. Rome is a very busy metropolis. Hopping off, visiting sites, then re-boarding is less stressful than renting a vehicle and driving in congested traffic.

About Rome
Rome layers nearly three thousand years of history into one walkable city, from the Colosseum and Forum to Baroque piazzas and Vatican art.
Ancient Rome is still in plain sight. The Colosseum, the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill sit together at the city's heart, the Pantheon still stands with its open oculus, and fragments of temples and aqueducts turn up between apartment blocks. Across the Tiber, Vatican City holds St Peter's Basilica, the Vatican Museums and Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling.
Top-ranked sights in Rome: Colosseum, Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel.
