Itinerary (8 Hours Total)
Pickup at your hotel in Rome
Climb
the Dome of St. Peter’s Basilica
A memorable challenge with incredible views. Choose the full climb (551 steps)

Castel
Sant’Angelo (closed Mondays)
A fascinating fortress-museum with ramparts, cannons, terraces, and plenty of
“castle” atmosphere that kids love.
Trevi
Fountain
Join the coin-toss tradition and grab family photos.
Janiculum
Hill (noon cannon shot)
If timing works, witness the midday cannon shot tradition and enjoy one of
Rome’s best panoramas. On weekends, there may be a puppet show
(seasonal/time-dependent).
Mouth of
Truth (quick stop)
A classic “Roman Holiday” moment—perfect for goofy family photos.
Time
Elevator
A 40-minute multimedia show that brings 3,000 years of Roman history to life
with sound/visual/motion effects.

stop
Because no family day in Rome is complete without gelato.

IMPORTANT
NOTICE REGARDING TICKETS:
Please be aware that tickets are guaranteed only when booked. Booking tickets
this year has become almost impossible and we’re struggling to find slots
available. The Vatican opens availability 2 months ahead of the selected date
and the Colosseum opens availability one month ahead. We will do our very best
to get the admission tickets for you but if by this time we are not able to
secure tickets, then those are not guaranteed. We will have to relay to other
suppliers but it’s not guaranteed. You will be notified in case of lack of
availability and offered an alternative solution (for example, instead of the
Vatican we can visit other beautiful churches; instead of the Colosseum you may
decide to focus on the Roman Forum). We will be able to provide a certain
answer regarding availability 7 weeks ahead for the Vatican and 4 weeks ahead
for the Colosseum, in reference to the selected date of your tour. You will
then be free to decide how to move forward. Thank you very
much for understanding.
