Bus tours of the city, escorted day trips to outlying sights and nearby towns like Tivoli (Hadrian's Villa and the Villa d'Este) and Naples & Pompeii, walking tours around town, Vespa tours of Rome, bike tours, art and architecture walks, guided tours through museums or cathedrals, Christian tours and events like papal audiences and touring the great churches of the city and the catacombs of the Appian Way, private guides—these are all what I call microtours (as opposed to the macrotours of fully escorted bus trips).
By combining do-it-yourself planning and travel with microtours, you can get the best of both worlds. The best microtours are packed with more information (history, background, anecdotes, details, and explanations) than any guidebook has room to print.
Take a guided tour of Rome with one of our partners:
On any tour, stick next to the guide.
Walking from stop to stop on the tour, you’ll be able to chat with her, ask questions, and hear her answers and explanations to everyone else’s questions as well. You'll get a lot more out of your tour (and bang for your buck) if you just stick close to the guide.
Planning your day: Rome wasn't built in a day, and you'd be hard-pressed to see it in that brief a time as well. Still, you can cram a lot into just a day or three.
To help you get the most out of your limited time in the Eternal City, here are some perfect itineraries, whether you have one, two, three, or four days to spend in Rome.
