Home to the Sistine Chapel, the Colosseum, and the Trevi Fountain, Rome earns its sobriquet as the Eternal City. The streets here seem paved with European history and you can barely turn a corner without stumbling on an ancient ruin or Renaissance masterpiece hanging, unremarked, in a small empty church. If you’re interested in the earliest Romans, we can arrange a guided tour of the Forum and Colosseum or you can visit a church built on one of the earliest Christian churches — built, in turn, on a Mithraic temple. The Renaissance restored Rome’s classical glory and you’ll find examples of the era’s masterpieces everywhere — Raphael and Michelangelo in the Vatican Museums, yes, but also the Galleria Doria Pamphilj, an oft-overlooked private museum.
