The team at Travel by Luxe was professional and helpful as I made plans for my trip from Rome Italy to Amalfi. Both Chiara and Martina were helpful with their recommendations, and in setting up an optional tour of Pompeii and restaurant reservations for lunch. Both of our drivers were professional, and knowledgeable of the area. They navigated the winding roads of Amalfi and Sorrento like pros! Giovanna, our guide in Pompeii, was great and focused our tour on the areas that interested us the most. The experience was very relaxing and the planning assistance I received from Chiara and Martina made it a success. I highly recommend their services!
Your expert guide will discuss the political, artistic, and religious history of Rome with you as we visit ancient locations, modern sites, and everything in between.
You will begin your guided tour at your central Rome accommodation, where your private guide and driver will meet you to transfer to the Vatican Museums, where an art lover’s paradise is waiting to be explored.Of course, your Skip the Line ticket will be invaluable here; otherwise, you might spend the entire nine hours waiting in the queue to get in!
Marvel at the splendor of St. Peter’s Basilica and Michelangelo’s fresco masterpiece in the Sistine Chapel.
Your expert guide will help you navigate the corridors and galleries of the Vatican Museums to see famous works and little-known gems while disclosing papal secrets!
After you leave the Vatican City, you will be picked up in your private Mercedes-Benz vehicle and driven to visit the famous Piazza Navona. Once the athletics stadium of Emperor Domitian, it is today home to Bernini’s baroque fountain masterpiece, the Fountain of the Four Rivers, which you may recognize from the movie Angels & Demons!
Our epic journey continues rather fittingly at a place where many legends were made, by entering Rome’s most enduring monument – the Colosseum. Your private guide will reveal all the scandals, passions, intrigue, and Gladiatorial glory that occurred within its walls.
Roman Forum, Rome, Italy
Our walking tour will then take us to the nearby Roman Forum. As we wander through what was the heart of the Roman Empire, you will be able to imagine the urban center full of life as it was in ancient times.
After this, we will be picked up by our private Mercedes-Benz driver to head into the city. You will see more of Rome’s ancient past juxtaposed with modern history as you gaze through the Oculus of the Pantheon, hear the plop of coins falling into the Trevi Fountain, admire the architecture of the Spanish Steps, and wander down the famous Via dei Condotti.
What Makes Our Rome in a Day Tour Different From The Rest?

Luxe did an amazing job planning an our trip to Rome with transportation and excellent tours ! We had four kids from ages 17 to 10 and they really did an amazing job engaging with the kids.

Rome in a Day from Civitavecchia: If your visit to the Eternal City begins on the docks of Civitavecchia, we can arrange your transportation from Civitavecchia to Rome and customize visits to the above sites according to your arrival and departure times. Please contact us for further information.
*Please note that churches included in our tour are operational churches. There are occasions in which churches close unexpectedly without prior notice. Luxe will seek to provide an alternative in-situ art experience on these occasions.
*The Pantheon is closed on Sunday afternoons, so it will be viewed and explained from the outside only. If you wish to enter the Roman Forum with your guide rather than view it from the outside, then we can arrange this; however, we would need to remove Piazza Navona from the itinerary due to time restrictions.
This tour doesn’t run on Sundays, 1st May, 29th June, 15th August, 1st November, 8th December, Christmas Day, and New Year’s Day.
Your private guide and/or driver will meet you at the pre-arranged starting point of your tour and everything necessary for a seamless tour experience.
