The visit, explained
Is this the right tour for you?
Why choose it
Choose it when having transfers, a meal and both principal admissions organized matters more than maximizing time in one museum.
What to weigh up
The Roman Forum and Pantheon are explained from outside. The Basilica is explored independently after an outside introduction, and Sundays or religious closures replace the Vatican Museums with other sights.
