Would you like to see Rome in a totally different light?
If you decide to participate in a sightseeing tour of Rome, you should think about doing it in the evening. There are several sightseeing tours that take place in the early evening. This way you can discover the city in a different way and see all the monuments that get illuminated when the sun goes down.
The tours tend to start around at 8.15 pm every evening at Piazza San Bernardo. While sitting in a comfortable luxury tour bus you will get a lot of information about the city in 5 languages (English, German, Spanish, Italian and French). You will then pass the Piazza della Republicca, down through the Pinciana Gate and go on to the city wall where you will have a beautiful view over the Villa Borghese. Afterwards, the bus will take you to Piazza Barberini, the Via delle Quattro Fontane and Via Nazionale. From there on you will have a short walk to the Trevi fountain where you have some free time to spend. Then you take the bus again which will take you to Piazza Venezia where the memorial of King Viktor Emanuels II and the tomb of the Unknown Soldier stand. At the end you will also see the Zirkus Maximus, the capitol and of course the Coliseum. So you will see the most important and most interesting monuments of the city. Don’t forget to bring your camera as the lit up monuments offer something extra special to remember your trip by.
The price for an adult is 75 euros and 60 euros for children over 3 years of age. Children between 0 and 2 years can ride the tour bus fro free. The price includes dinner in a traditional Roman restaurant. Here you can enjoy the evening by experience great Roman food and tradition.
When you are in Rome you should really do this sightseeing tour. You see the city from its most beautiful perspective and it is even more enjoyable since the city is not as busy as it is during the day.
