Secure admission for a guided tour of the Colosseum and the Vatican, including the Sistine Chapel. Begin at the local partner’s office, where you pick up your vouchers and watch a 25-minute multimedia video on ancient Rome.
A knowledgeable guide will explain key aspects of Roman life and history, then lead you along cobblestone streets to the Colosseum, one of the most intact ancient arenas. Hear about the emperors influential in its history and the public events that took place there, including gladiator contests.
The tour then continues at the Vatican, where you will visit important landmarks. In the Sistine Chapel, view Michelangelo’s ceiling frescoes and learn about their significance and artistry.
