Experience a quartet of historic landmarks, rich in cultural significance on this guided walking tour of the Eternal City. Your scenic motorcoach ride from port makes its first stop at the Roman Catacombs. Carved through tufo, a soft volcanic rock, outside the boundaries of early Rome because Roman law forbade burial places within city limits, the Christian catacombs are extremely important for the art history of early Christian art. The majesty of St. Peter's Basilica (outside view), the largest church in the world and the grand St. Peter's Square,complete the morning's activities. An authentic, 1st class lunch is a welcome respite in your active day before you continue to the famous Trevi Fountain then follow your guide to Rome's grandest monument of all, The Colosseum. While your guide will provide a commentary from the outside, it will be easy to imagine the magnificence of ancient Rome looking at the largest Roman amphitheater in the world.
