This tour is perfect for those guest who wish to enjoy a complete overview of Rome in the comfort of a car. You will have the chance to drive where large buses are not permitted, allowing you to see more, walk less and capture the "best of Rome".

You will continue your car tour with a panoramic drive past the Circus Maximus, the Palatine Hill, and the immense Baths of Caracalla. Next you will make a stop to visit the Pantheon.

Your excursion continues towards the Vatican City; the smallest independent state in the world, it measures about 108 acres. At the bottom of the Via della Conciliazione lies Saint Peter’s Basilica, the largest church in the world and the burial place of Saint Peter. This magnificent church took over 100 years to build. You can also visit the Sistine Chapel to see the incredible works of Michelangelo, his “Last Judgment” and his “Creation of the World”. The Sistine Chapel is located inside the Vatican Museums and you must have reservations if you would like to include this in your tour.
