day 1Join trip in the Italian capital Rome

Our tour starts today in the Italian capital, Rome. With a history spanning over two and a half thousand years, the city is packed with iconic ancient sites, exhilarating architecture and artistic treasures. Its picturesque piazzas, outdoor bars and neighbourhood cafes make for excellent people-watching. Our tour leader plans to meet everyone at the hotel for a welcome meeting today at 5pm and for those that wish, there is the chance to go out for dinner afterwards for your first taste of Roman cuisine. There are no activities planned before the group meeting at 5pm tonight, so you can arrive any time before then. Should you miss the meeting, our tour leader will inform you of any essential information as soon as you catch up. If you'd like an airport transfer today, you'll need to arrive into FCO airport, which is around a 45-minute drive from our hotel. As part of our Upgraded range, we also offer a complimentary transfer to those who have made pre-tour accommodation arrangements through us, regardless of your arrival day. If your flight arrives earlier in the day, put on a pair of comfortable shoes and head out to explore. Walking is the best way to see Rome. Flicking a coin in the Trevi Fountain and marvelling at the vast domed roof inside the ancient Pantheon are just two things every visitor to the city should experience. If you'd like to visit the Vatican, Rome's most popular attraction, you should book tickets to the museum online in advance at biglietteriamusei.vatican.va. Note the Vatican is closed to visitors on Sunday except the last Sunday of every month when entry is free although it can get very busy. Check the Vatican website (vatican.va) for updated information on opening times. Please note that pre-booked tickets are not required if you just want to visit St Peter's Basilica.
