Suggested Itinerary

If you have limited time in Rome or want a detailed overview before planning the rest of your stay, the “Rome Highlights” tour is the perfect choice. Your Welcome Driver will pick you up directly from your accommodation, and you will enjoy a comfortable ride in a spacious, air-conditioned sedan as you explore the city’s most iconic sites along with some hidden local gems.

Begin your tour in ancient Rome, where the city’s rich history and breathtaking architecture surround you. In this area, you’ll find the Roman Forum—founded in the 7th century BC—the Palace of the Emperor, and the awe-inspiring 1Colosseum.

Continue up the “Road of Temples” to the bustling heart of the city, the 2Piazza Venezia, before entering Rome’s religious center. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to explore the 4Pantheon, one of the best-preserved ancient structures in the world, and the 3Trevi Fountain, where tradition encourages you to toss a coin to ensure your return to the Eternal City. Nearby, make time for the charming 5Piazza Navona, the perfect place to soak in local culture, photograph the Fountain of the Four Rivers, and enjoy suggestions from your driver for the best pizza, pasta, or gelato.

End your tour with a visit to the 6Spanish Steps, one of Rome’s most loved attractions, offering beautiful views across the city. Climb the 138 steps to capture unforgettable photos before returning to your private Welcome vehicle. If time permits, you may also explore the elegant Piazza Trinità dei Monti at the top of the Spanish Steps, make a brief visit to the Vatican, or enjoy drive-by photo stops at 8St. Peter's Square or 7 Castel Sant'Angelo.

Feel free to add more stops and ask your driver for insider tips on the best street food or local restaurants. After your tour, you may continue exploring the Eternal City on foot or be driven back to your hotel.

*If you plan to visit the Colosseum, begin your tour around 8:00 AM to avoid long lines—and enjoy an Italian espresso to start your morning right!

** Ask your driver where to try authentic Italian pasta or a traditional Carbonara paired with a glass of white wine.
