How much is a tour of Rome?

There is little wonder as to why Rome is lovingly called “The Eternal City”.

It is a glorious mix of old and new, of ancient landmarks and contemporary style, where grand piazzas give way to charming laneways dotted with cafes and wine bars. A place where you can visit the site of one of history’s most gruesome contests before enjoying an aperitif and a plate of gourmet antipasti at sundown.

There has never been any secret about it: Rome is a tour lover’s wonderland, with the Colosseum, the Vatican and the Trevi Fountain just a few of the highlights of this wondrous ex-empire.
