Meet your driver and guide in the hotel lobby and start your private tour to discover the Vatican Museums.

The Vatican Museums are among the largest museums in the world with an enormous collection ranging from ancient Roman and Egyptian artefacts, religious objects to beautifully painted rooms and even modern art. The 26 different museums of the Vatican are housed in a complex of multiple Apostolic palaces, and are by far the most popular museum destination in Rome, in part because of the famous Sistine Chapel. During your visit, you will marvel at the many art treasures that collected by the popes in 54 different halls since the 16th century.

The absolute highlight of the route through the Vatican museums is the visit to the Sistine Chapel (‘Capella Sistina’). The name is derived from the founder of the chapel, Pope Sixtus IV. The impressive ceiling of this 15^th century chapel was painted in the 16th century by Michelangelo. It portrays the story of creation, the great flood and other scenes. The side walls are equally beautiful with paintings of the life of Jesus made by Ghirlandaio, Botticelli, Perugino, Pinturicchio and others. The wall behind the altar shows Michelangelo’s painting of the ‘Last Judgement’. The Sistine Chapel is mostly known for being the space where the cardinals meet for Conclave when electing a new pope. During the election of a new pope, smoke comes from the Chapel’s chimney twice a day. White smoke means a new pope has been elected, while black smoke means the cardinals were not yet successful in their decision.

Overnight in Rome.

Meet your driver and guide in the hotel lobby in Rome and transfer to Tivoli.

A walk through the historic center of Tivoli is a good viaticum for anyone who wants to discover its beauty, tracing the vestiges of its brilliant past through its alleys and squares, before dedicating themselves to visiting the major places of architectural and historical interest. The ideal route for a day trip near Rome, should begin from the medieval Cathedral of San Lorenzo, the cathedral of Tivoli, characterized by a 45mt high romanesque bell tower, from which the gaze can wander freely over the town. In Piazza Trento there is the Church of Santa Maria Maggiore, with its splendid gothic marble portal, annexed to the ancient convent home of the Benedictine friars.
After your walking tour around Tivoli, you will visit 2 very special areas: Villa D’Este and Villa Adriana.
Villa d’Este in Tivoli, UNESCO World Heritage Site, is undoubtedly a spectacular and fascinating place, which is truly worth visiting. A Renaissance architectural masterpiece, Villa d’Este was built in the mid-sixteenth century by Ippolito d’Este, son of Lucrezia Borgia. From the elegant entrance facade you access a wide staircase that leads to three floors, where there are various apartments and sumptuously decorated rooms. The fame of the villa is however linked above all to its incredible garden, in Mannerist and Baroque style, considered one of the most beautiful in Europe.
Going down the monumental staircase on the rear facade of the residence you reach the main avenue, 200mt long and entirely mosaic-lined, bordered by the Gran Loggia, from which you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the entire complex of gardens, divided into a series of terraces enriched by numerous fountains that produce surprising water games. Among the most notable points of the park are the Cypress Roundabout and the Diana Grotto, completely enamelled and stuccoed.
Villa Adriana, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of the most famous archaeological sites in Italy and a truly spectacular place. It was built at the foot of the Tiburtini Mountains at the behest of Emperor Adrian, from whom it takes its name, who had no qualms about requesting every magnificence for this incredible residential residence, combining typically Roman architectural elements with other Greek and Egyptian ones.
The villa complex in fact included palaces, gardens, temples and theaters while the villa itself was built on two levels. The archaeological area currently opens to visitors well conveys the sense of magnificence of the original complex, a sign of the power of Rome and its emperor, of which you can still admire today the Pecile, the grandiose quadriportico that delimited the gardens, the Antinoeion, or the temple dedicated by the emperor to his beloved Antinous, the monumental Golden Square used for representative functions, the Large and Small Baths, as well as the two famous theaters: the Greek theater and the Maritime theater. The latter stands on an artificial island in the middle of a wide canal and is probably worth a visit to the entire complex alone.

Then return to your hotel and overnight in Rome.

The first part of the day is free at leisure.

In the afternoon, approaching sunset time, meet your guide and driver and reach another ancient area of Rome, close to Circo Massimo, called Aventino.
It is located between the Savello Park (the real name of the Orange Garden) and the villa of the Priory of Malta. This place is far from the traditional tourist circuits and the historic center but every year millions of tourists come here on purpose to be amazed by what this place has to offer. What awaits visitors is a large portal, the portal of the Priory of the Knights of Malta, on which there is a simple lock. Bending down and peering through its slot, the “telescopic” view that will appear before your eyes will be simply extraordinary. In fact, through the keyhole it is possible to admire the Dome of St. Peter’s frontally surrounded by perfect rows of trees belonging to the Priory Garden, enjoying a unique perspective.
