Apollo from Veij

Our full-day cultural guided tours in Rome and the surrounding areas give the opportunity to gain a deep insight into a certain topic. One day programs last approximately 7 hours. At lunch time we can take a break in a recommended restaurant or go for a picnic in the open air.
Our services include both guided walks inside the city walls and trips outside Rome. We make use of public transportation or, if required, of a rented minibus for excursions outside the city.
