Perfect for couples or anyone seeking a memorable and romantic perspective, you will tour in style with a local, friendly English-speaking private driver who knows the city’s streets and secrets intimately.

Your unforgettable journey begins with your driver picking you up directly at your central Rome hotel. You will be whisked away to several magical locations, all perfectly timed to catch Rome’s stunning highlights as they light up.

Highlights include a trip to the Aventine Hill, where you’ll look through the world-famous Key Hole on the Gate of the Knights of Malta to see St. Peter’s Dome perfectly framed. Next, enjoy a panoramic stop on Oppio Hill to capture a romantic photo of the Colosseum illuminated at twilight.

Of course, you will not miss stops at the legendary Trevi Fountain (toss a coin to ensure your return!) and the atmospheric Piazza Navona, centered by Bernini’s Fountain of the Four Rivers.

The grand finale awaits you on Gianicolo Hill, one of the city’s best scenic spots.
