GET THRILLED BY THE SISTINE CHAPEL AND ST. PETER’S BASILICA

 
This is the moment to sharpen your sight because you’ll be living a once-in-a-lifetime experience inside the Sistine Chapel where the masterly and multifaceted artist Michelangelo performed his masterpiece with the most- known ceiling in the world. Get to know the seemingly never-ending fresco magnificently adorned by Michelangelo’s life-like, potent figures of Adam, God and Saints, and try to spot the artist’s self-portrait on the torso of Saint Peter!
The tour of the catholic world is not finished yet, as you’ll walk through the aisles of St. Peter Basilica, where you can marvel at the beauty of the incredible mosaics, Michelangelo’s Pietà, and Bernini’s Baldachin in all of their glory. Now you can ask yourself: what is like to be immersed in such an overwhelming art wave?
 

TIME TRAVELING AT THE COLOSSEUM AND PALATINE HILL

Sailing through ages with this tour, you’ll be carried to 2000 years ago, when you’ll arrive at the Colosseum, rightly nominated one of the seven wonders of the world. You’ll be witnessing the place where 50.000 spectators enjoyed various performances and shows that included wild animals and gladiators during the “Roman Games”. Symbol of the power of Rome, the Flavian amphitheater has never lost its charm. 
Lastly, you’ll climb up the Palatine Hill from where the legend narrates that Rome was found, because Romulus decided to build its place right there. Here you can enjoy a delightful view of the Roman Forums.
