Appian Way
Our tour to The Eternal City is designed to appeal to those in search of an authentic perspective on Rome, through the eyes of a local expert. This is a fascinating insight into the city which goes beyond the tourist highlights to reveal Rome’s ancient past, from the Etruscans to the rise and fall of the Empire, through the Renaissance and into the 20th century. There will be visits to The Appian Way, a variety of museums and several world class galleries, including the Galleria Borghese, which exhibits masterpieces by artists such as Caravaggio, Raphael and Bernini and a private visit to the exceptional art collection at the Palazzo Colonna. We will also touch on Rome’s modern history, evident in the architecture of the EUR district and one of the largest examples of fascist urban planning in Italy.
