2Piazza Navona
start your guided driven tour with Piazza Navona, one of the largest squares in the city. The space is incredibly popular among tourists for one primary reason: Bernini’s “Fountain of the Four Rivers.” Built to represent The Nile, The Ganges, The Danube and Rio de la Plata, the structure now sits amidst the artists who arrive to peddle their wares on a daily basis.
20 minutes • Admission ticket free -
3Pantheon
A true masterpiece to admire on your tour of Rome: The Pantheon. Immaculately preserved and seemingly just a few centuries old, it is difficult to believe that the structure was finished in AD 128 by Emperor Hadrian. In the square in front - a gathering place for locals – discover a decorative 16thcentury fountain sitting beneath the Egyptian obelisk. It's important to note that the tour guide can only lead you into the Pantheon if the lines are reasonably brief.

4Trevi Fountain
Hidden down the narrow backstreets of the city, Trevi Fountain is a secretive masterpiece, and perhaps the most spectacular fountain in Rome.

Toss a coin into its waters to ensure a safe return to Rome at some stage in the future.
20 minutes • Admission ticket free -
5Spanish Steps
You will proceed to the Spanish Steps, one of the most significant tourist spots in the city. As you stand and admire the Church of Trinità dei Monti, which sits at the top of a famous stairwell with the Fontana Della Barcaccia at its foot, you will wonder how they were ever able to complete it.
20 minutes • Admission ticket free -
