Rome. She gave us a great over look of the

LivItaly’s Heart of Rome Private Walking Tour lets you meander through Rome with a knowledgeable guide dedicated exclusively to you and your group. The advantage to having a private guide in Rome is that you can linger a little longer at the sites you have wanted to see your whole life. The best way to discover Rome is by wandering around the cobblestone streets, taking in the remnants of history from ancient to Medieval to Renaissance and beyond. This Rome Walking Tour is a great intro tour for travelers who have never been before and want to get an idea of how to best navigate Rome, all while taking a captivating stroll throughout the heart of this vibrant capital city.

What to Expect from Your Rome Walking Tour

This Rome Walking Tour begins at Europe’s widest staircase, the Spanish Steps at a time which is convenient for you. Your private guide will explain why these steps have long attracted painters and poets. Did you know that the famous Romantic poet John Keats spent his last months in Rome living and dying in a home just adjacent to the beautiful Spanish Steps? Today his home is a museum devoted entirely to English Romanticism.

Your Rome Walking Tour will now lead you to the enchanting Trevi Fountain where you will be amazed by the size and details of Rome’s most famous fountain. You can prepare for the site before your trip by watching almost any movie set in Rome. Toss in a coin to ensure a return to the city, two coins to guarantee you find love. Be generous, the money is collected every morning and donated to a charity that feeds the Roman poor.

Your walking tour will now proceed towards what the Romans consider the very heart of the Eternal City – Piazza Venezia. You are sure to have passed this city center traffic circle at some point during your stay. It lies just at the end of the Roman Forum and is the pulse of Rome’s center. The square is home to the Victor Emmanuel II Monument which has been coined by locals as the “wedding cake” monument due to its elaborate structure and notable white color.

Your Heart of Rome Private Walking also includes a trip to the Pantheon, one of the best preserved ancient monuments in Rome. Not enough can be said of the majestic beauty of this 2000 year old monument. The Pantheon’s interior floor decorated with marbles from all around the world, and the perfectly engineered dome just above your heads is enough to give you an idea of the limitless potential the Roman Empire once held. Be sure to visit the tomb of the artist Raphael and imagine his lover, Maria Bibbiena, throw herself across it during his funeral ceremony.

“Tiffany is a VERY passionate
and informative guide. She took us
on an amazing site seeing tour
of central Rome where we saw
ALL the most important features.
Thank you from the four of us –
you made our trip truly memorable”
– Rob – Melbourne, Australia

All this walking certainly calls for a treat, so take a quick break from your private Rome Walking Tour and enjoy a gelato or a coffee, two Italian specialties which are a staple to every Italian afternoon walk. Italians love their afternoon walks, and they also love to socialize which is why they stop at the bar for a quick espresso or the gelataria to try one of the seasonal flavors. It is the perfect excuse to break up the day and catch up on a bit of gossip.

By now you will have noticed that Rome is an open air museum and art floods every corned of the historic center and beyond. Piazza Minerva is no exception, where you will come across the Elephant and the Obelisk right in the middle of this charming square. This is just another work by the talented Gian Lorenzo Bernini, a beloved Italian artist whose work adorns most of central Rome.

Your tour now ends at the picture perfect Piazza Navona, home of the Four Rivers Fountain and frequented by artists and street performers. There are plenty of subtleties in Italian art and sculpture such as – the figure representing the Nile on Bernini’s fountain covering his face, representing the then mysterious source of the Nile River. These are the little things which makes Roman art so incredible to hear about and nearly impossible to decipher without a guide.

There are several bars and restaurants near the piazza, many with outdoor tables. You may want to linger after the completion of your tour and wile away a few hours watching this popular square’s activity.
