VIP Essential Rome Combo — The Perfect Tour!

Visit two iconic landmarks of Rome—the Vatican and Colosseum

Enter the Sistine Chapel as soon as it opens

Exclusive access to one of the restricted areas of the Colosseum

Expert Tour Guide dedicated to only your group of 6 people maximum

**All Colosseum tours require photo ID for all participants; plan to bring your passports on the day of your tour. Failure to show identification will result in the denial of entry to the site.**

LivTours VIP Essential Rome Combo Semi-Private Tour brings together two of our most popular tours for the perfect day. Enjoy early entrance to the Sistine Chapel and visit restricted areas of the Colosseum!

Early entrance to the Sistine Chapel allows you to enjoy this incredible space before the afternoon rush. When visiting the Colosseum, you’ll have priority access to the arena floor. Imagine walking right where gladiator fights used to take place—well that’s just what you will do with LivTours. This combo tour shows you Rome’s two most famous sites and it is a great way to make the most of your vacation time!

EARLY ACCESS INTO THE SISTINE CHAPEL

Your LivTours VIP Essential Rome Combo Semi-Private Tour begins when you meet your guide early in the morning at the Vatican. You will enjoy the luxury of entering the Vatican Museums as soon as they open. Imagine the soft morning light as you gaze up at Michelangelo’s masterpiece, the Sistine Chapel. As it is not possible for guides to talk inside the Sistine Chapel, your guide will use the time before entering the museum to give you the history and details of this great piece of art that almost did not get painted! Your expert guide will make sure you visit all the Vatican highlights from the Laocoon Priest of Troy to the Gallery of the Tapestries. You will continue your tour with a visit to St Peter’s Basilica, the largest Catholic church in the world, filled with beautiful pieces of art, including the only signed piece by Michelangelo.

Before starting your afternoon tour of the ancient sites of Rome, you will have time for lunch. Your chauffeur will be happy to offer you suggestions based on your tastes. Please note that lunch is not included in the price of the tour.

THE PALATINE AND THE ROMAN FORUM

LivTours’ VIP Essential Rome Combo continues after your lunch break, by going back in time to ancient Rome! You will meet your local expert guide and visit the Colosseum while enjoying exclusive access to the Arena floor of the Colosseum. Walking out onto the arena floor makes the hubbub of the gladiator fights come into focus. Imagine the huge crowds and their shouts that would have accompanied them on the day. Your LivTours guide will explain the games and events of ancient Rome as you continue to visit this 2,000-year-old building.

After visiting the Colosseum it is time to head to higher ground as your guide walks with you up to the top of the Palatine Hill where Rome was said to have begun. Learn about the early origins of Rome as you walk through the ruins, explore and visit the temples from the Roman Empire, and the impressive Arch of Titus, ending up in front of the resting place of Julius Caesar.

ABOUT OUR 6 PEOPLE SMALL GROUP POLICY When you book a LivItaly Small Group Tour, you are guaranteed one tour guide per group of 6 people. Please bear in mind though that in order to accommodate traveling families and friends, we do on rare occasion make the exception of adding an additional one to two guests in order not to split groups who are traveling together. On that same note, you may find yourself on tour with less than six people. As we accept bookings in multiples of six, math doesn’t always work in our favor to help accommodate individual travelers and their families when on the same tour, so we hope you understand and apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
