IMPORTANT
NOTICE REGARDING TICKETS:
Please be aware that obtaining skip-the-line tickets is not guaranteed and is
contingent on availability, which is confirmed at the time of booking. Due to
the activities of prominent agencies with early access, securing tickets has
become more challenging. Ticket sales for the Vatican Museums open two months
before the selected date, while the Colosseum opens one month ahead. If we are
unable to secure tickets, alternative activities will be proposed.
Pre-purchased tickets are non-refundable, but we will make every effort to find
suitable alternatives.

expect from your driver/guide
Our English-speaking drivers are not licensed guides. They can provide
commentary and an overview from inside the vehicle and will manage timing,
logistics, and drop-offs as close as possible to each stop. Due to Italian

guided visits (for example inside the Colosseum/Roman Forum), we can arrange a
licensed guide.
